Important note about labling of MIDIbox SID V2 Frontpanel

[TK.]

If you are planning to create a frontpanel for your MIDIbox SID V2 ("Step A", "B" or "C" stage), please consider that the purpose of the Link/CC and Edit button has been changed. This mainly affects the labling

• the LINK button will get the purpose of a SHIFT button. In addition, it displays a special configuration page, which for example allows you to switch between left and right SID channel
  
• the CC button is used for "Page Up" (increments OSC/LFO/ENV/MOD/TRG/KNB)
  
• the Edit button is used for "Page Down" (decrements OSC/LFO/ENV/MOD/TRG/KNB)
  
• SHIFT+CC and SHIFT+EDIT still switch the CC/Edit function like before - this means: the two LED labels are still valid!
  
• in the OSC section, the "Arpeggiator" label should be renamed to "Phase"
  

The Page Up/Down buttons are just a new feature which save you from scrolling to the left end of a menu page in order to select a different oscillator/LFO/ENV/... etc

A MBSID with the minimal "Step A" control surface still allows full access to all parameters, but adding a Shift/Page Up/Down button is strongly recommented for faster usage

That's interesting news! Does it mean that the new step A surface will require an extra DIN and DOUT module?

Yes, you need an additional DIN (so: DINX2 instead of DINX1, but I guess that you will use a DINX4 anyhow?)

DOUT is not required for a "Step A" CS
