Sid-Controller

[TzanhZsu]

Hi, this one goes out to all the lucky people that already have build a MB-Sid.

I want to build a midibox-Controller, and i need to know if 29 Knobs are enought (or to much) to programm and use a sid.

Thanks a lot,

TzZ

You can have alot more than 29 ;)

...but please keep in mind that I'm planning a special firmware for a dedicated SID control surface which allows to control the SID parameters more ergonomically. I will publish the final layout for the panel w/ pots/encoders/display/buttons/LEDs in january, when I've time enough to think about a perfect solution.

Not every parameter will become it's dedicated pot or button, some can be combined, and together with a LCD<->pot/encoder/button interaction tweaking the sounds will finally make more fun! :)

In the meantime you could use the Java editor and maybe a MIDIbox with 16 pots or more to access the most important parameters w/o the mouse.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I think using the same controls for all voices and a button to switch between them would be ideal...  Just a thought.

Yes, definitely! :)

On this way we can save a lot of unnecessary pots/buttons/LEDs and the poly mode configuration (where all three voices should have the same values) will be easier.

And all pots will get an optional soft-overtake feature in order to prevent parameter jumps. :)

This is looking good for sure!

Wouldn't it be possible to use just encoders instead of pots, since you'll be using the new PIC?  Personally, I'd prefer that, even if it is a bit more expensive.  But that's just me :)

No, not just you,

by the way,

for the Parameters that doesn't have their own Knob it would be nice to have buttons to choose them from and a Datawheel to adjust the value.  

Only a thought.

Ok - no pots, but encoders; it's ok :)
