dcer10 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi All,Any news on the CEM3396 project? I read about it here:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_3396Does anyone know the status of its development and if it has a future for sure as a midibox? I only ask as I have found a small amount of CEM3396 chips I can buy cheap, so if the project will eventually make it for sure then I will invest, if not I will leave them as I am not capable of doing anything else with them.Also if anyone knows, how many chips may be required for the midibox synth using these chips?All the best,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well it's like this....either I one day get it working, or I wasted a stack of cash. Nothing is for sure, I might get hit by a bus when I go for a walk today ;) If I were you I'd be looking at 6 of them, but any amount could be interesting...So how small is a "small amount" and how cheap is "cheap"? (This reminds me of "How hot is too hot?" ;D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcer10 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hiya Stryd_one,Small is 6Cheap is about $50 + shipping of about $10 for the 6.I have a feeling the seller has a stash of them. If you want the source PM me and I think we could buy more as a lot? The opportunity may vanish or get more expensive by tomorrow as its a second change offer on ebay I got. Aparently the price is about to go up...Im just wondering how viable it would be to buy them, id like to do it, but if your project doesnt happen then I would have little use for them [and would probably sell them to you if you wanted them!!] ;DIm not asking for a rock solid commitment to do anything by a given time, but if you are really serious about finishing it then I will buy up now as there here, and will try to get you some too if you like?? Im happy for them to sit on the shelf for ages if need be.All the best,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 You might want to look around at ebay a bit more. There are other offers for lots of 6 which are regularly selling cheaper than that.Best regards, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It depends, I could have it working in a few weeks, but I would lose my job, the house would look like crap and my wife would divorce me."
