praxis23 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 hello everybody! I live in France and I am determined to build one sammichSID, in fact I fell in love with the great sound of these great little machines! I have 2 sid 8580 chips and the + 1 Commodore or it lacks the chip in, the problem is that I'm a little confused with all the kits that are, so I would like to know already so I have to order on smash tv or electronic mike, and what kit is better now to make a sammichSID stereo? My project that will make my sammichSID such as Ponoko Wilba in a case, do you think I could make contain all the pcb inside? thank you in advance to anyone that can help me. (sorry for my english not very accurate) :rolleyes: Best regard, praxis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytee Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Unfortunately, the sammichSID was a limited-run kit. All the sammichSIDs that were made have been sold and as far as I know, there are no plans to produce any more (although you never know)... If you already have your SID chips and want to build a synthesizer, you're probably going to have to go the modular route. It's a little daunting, but not impossible.

praxis23 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I know that sammichSID of Wilba no longer made , but it is possible to do this is just a midibox stereo with 2 sid and there has the equivalent of this model in various pcb what I saw uccaps on , right? What I want to do is the same machine, even if it is not physically the same but in the smallest possible deal and made in acrylic, with Ponoko . The problem is that as with all kits there has to smash tv or elec mike , I'm lost and I 'm not sure what kit to buy and I in France , so I have ordered from mike or smash tv ? I'm not a whiz with electronics, I just built a few synths for 6 months when I started the diy, but for years I wanted to get into the DIY and I wanted to make a sammichSID then I 'm very motivated for this project and I would like to start as soon as possible because I have several synths in works and I want to end all synths at the same time if possible.

Johey Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 The sammichSID boards are quite small already. I doubt it will be easy fitting a modular type of MBSID into the box. But never say never. :) You might ask Wilba if he has a left over kit or if he has any plans of doing another batch. Or of course, asking at the fleemarket if someone has a non-completed kit for sale. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytee Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 It'll be really tough to fit the modular boards into a sammich-sized case, but I'm sure you could get something pretty tiny if you don't mind doing the work for a custom case. The build guide on the wiki is pretty straightforward. The advantage to doing a modular is that you can always expand the number of SID chips or fill out the control surface as needed.
