metabit Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi,I am about to build my first SID module and CORE module. I am looking around for an LCD display and thinking of the future. What are peoples size recommendations regarding displays? I am thinking of making a SID that will mostly be for 303 type playing. Would it be advantageous to have a longer LCD?(2x40) Or would it be better to have a taller LCD?(4x20) How much difficulty does it create by using displays that are different from the recommended 2x20?Thanks so much for your input.- J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 2x40 displays are already supported, they show more parameters at once (up to 10, with 10 buttons underneath).4x20 displays aren't supported, they'll work, but only the top 2 lines are used. I am using one and will code up some support for the extra 2 lines. It's not that difficult to do if you know a little about assembler.My opinion is a 2x40 display is going to be more useful in MB-SID v2, as things like the modulation matrix have 17 parameters per "row", so showing 10 at a time will be nicer than only showing 5.If you are asking which would be better for editing 303 sequences, then maybe the 2x40 would be better than a 2x20 if the sequence editor has more than 5 parameters per row (step), as you won't be scrolling left/right all the time, which you have to do a lot as changing the step is done by changing the first parameter.
