MB SID Frontpanel

[Julian]

hi,

I'm abou to order my SID frontpanel from Schaeffer...

to make it rack compatible, I'd like to put all the jacks on the frontpanel.

so i just wanted to aks if  I've forgotten something before ordering ;)

1 x MIDI In

1 x MIDI Out

4 x Audio In

4 x Audio Out

4 x SUB D / Bankstick

so long,

julian

maybe you want a MIDI Thru, too?

And you need only one Sub-D, since Banksticks are only connected to the first (master) PIC.

[Julian]

yeah, but you can also connect multiple bank stiks.

if i'm not wrong you can connect up to 8 banksticks at the same time...

midi thru is a good idea ;)

so long, julian

How about sharing that .fpd file?

I decided not to use the bank stick design and went for the 8 eeprom setup as an internal memory board.

If i understood the design correctly that gives me 1056 internal patches, my old yamaha FX500 has only 30 user memory slots for patches which is very poor for a commercial product , even when it was produced..

Jorge...  :)

Yes, I would also suggest 8 internal banksticks.

The 4 Audio INs are "nice to have" for some experiements, but no must. You could also place them at the backside.

I'm missing the AOUT port! :-)

Sidenote: in the meantime my MIDIboxe SID/FM and SEQ are stuffed with a special DIN socket for the AOUT, so that I can use it as "breakout" box. I've used a 6-pin socket, the remaining pin will be used later for a serial connection to a (planned) 8 x gate extension (it's just a 74HC595).

Reichelt Part # for the socket: MAB6

(the picture shows the 5 pin type, I mean the shading at the right upper edge)

Reichelt Part # for the plug: MAS 60

Best Regards, Thorsten.
