ukk1337 Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi there, I recently bought a used sammichSID equipped with two 8580 SIDs, MIOS 1.9g, running MIDIbox SID V2.044. The problem I'm facing is that only one SID seems to be recognized. So within the ensemble-menu I can only choose SID 1. Also I get only audio-output by one SID. So I have the following questions: - does the Midibox software perfom any check to determine if the SID may be broken and "disables" it in the frontend-selection? - is there any way to perform a check or debug this issue? - if the SID is broken: would I be able to recognize it in the menue if I would swap both SIDs against each other to check if one is broken? So that the ensemble-screen would say *2** instead of 1***? - software issue? - am I completely missing something, like that the behaviour of the sammichSID differs from the "normal" MIDIbox SID? Any help or hint would be appreciated :-) Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Do you hear sound from both the left and right output? If so, you definitely have 2 SIDs. Per the docs, the SIDs are grouped into stereo pairs. So the sammichSID, while it does support 2 SIDs, maps them to left and right. So it only has 1 SID group but 2 actualy SIDs. You can use the multi-engine to control the SIDs independently, however. And you can also use the stereo for some really neat effects (like setting an LFO on each of the SID's PWMs at a slightly different rate). Have a look at ucapps.de for all the MidiBox usage documentation on how to use the multi-engine if you really want to have the SIDs work independently.

ukk1337 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hey, thanks for your answer and clarification. It turned out that it was the perfect combination of misunderstanding/misinterpreting the manual (which I actually read) an a broken stereo cable -.- So everything is working fine now, thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
