swinkels Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 SwinSID is still in development and the new version SwinSID X2 is almost ready now. It is designed to emulate two SID chip working with one MB core. In fact SwinSID X2 has two AVR connected with single DAC Latest firmware provides better sound quality (low aliasing), new waveforms and nice features: simple FM synth, two oscillators per voice and white noise generator. Firmware is quite stable now with all features working, but I need to design layout for new MB module. If you want to help with testing or designing layout then let me know. I will consider releasing the source code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brother303 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi,amazing stuff,cool!@Swinkels : Is it possible to add an option to switch the aliasing-filter off? Would be nice to have some "x-tra lofi-amount" by a flick of the switch. Waldorf did this in their microwave 2 engine and I like this feature very much!Regards Brother303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinkels Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Yes you can do it by enabling double oscilator mode - in this mode anti aliasing is not supported.Now I'm only waiting for the new stereo demos from TK :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 This is a great project.I think the sounds of Swinsid arent too shabby at all:http://www.swinkels.tvtom.pl/swinsid/It has probably improved a lot since, but even those sounds, sound like a decent sid emulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just wanted to keep this one alive and also wanted to know if there is any news on what parts to buy ;Dmy soldering iron need work to do ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert lowell Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think might have to buy a new soldering iron. All these cool projects I might have to use both hands just to keep up. Fantastic job guys! Keep up the great work all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyman Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Firmware is quite stable now with all features working, but I need to design layout for new MB module. If you want to help with testing or designing layout then let me know. So, a SwinSIDx2 module? Sweet ;DSo, do you have a circuit diagram and need a layout, or do you need both?

swinkels Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Finally, my download page was updated with latest SwinSID firmware for MIDIBox and dual AVR schematics. There is source code too. I'm working now on the new SwinSID 1024 card with 512KB RAM and 512KB ROM for storing drum samples and new cool sampled sounds. Maybe some day it will work with midibox as a external sampler (when TK modify control firmware) but first, it is intended as a hardware MOD player for C64.

seppoman Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi Swinkels,Congratulations and thanks for your work :)Will you upload the new source code, too? On your page I only found the source for the old SwinSid SE. And do you consider using English for the source comments of the new version? My Polish is a bit rusty ;)BTW, maybe I posted to the wrong thread last week, so may I draw your attention to this post: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11258.msg89914.html#msg89914S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swinkels Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks for the PCB. I haven't mentioned on my site that this schematic is for C64 version. It uses 74HCT138 for address decoding of each AVR from C64 bus. With MB we can remove this chip and connect CS signal directly to the MB core module as with MBSid - master CS goes to MBHP_SID:J2:SO and the second one to MBHP_CORE:J14.
