WILBA made the frontpage of chris randall!

I assume there will be a steep increase in uCapps server traffic:

WILBA´s 8-SID box made the front page of analog industries (->audiodamage->chris randall->musician, plugin-designer etc.), one of the highest profile blogs in the electronic music scene (and one of my "daily reads"):

congratulations and respect to WILBA, the MB/SID community, stryd_one and TK!

cheers, karl.

[stryd_one]

Jeez don't congratulate me, I just watched and cheered from the sidelines!

It's a heck of a show though ;)

stryde,

for me you are one of the "heroes" around here, and someone who spends a lot of his time to make this forum a friendly, funny, thoughtful and helpful place...

can´t help to blame you for any success connected to one of the MB variants..-)))

[stryd_one]

Well I don't know about the other stuff but I do spend a lot of time here.

I use these forums as a quick recreational break when I'm working at the PC; which is pretty much always, between my day job and the midibox coding :)

Nah...you can't be blamed.. blame Wilba, while he's not here to defend himself. ;D

Sometimes I wonder what all the fuss is about...  ???

[stryd_one]

That's because you're mental! hehehehe

I was telling Wilba during his planning phases that people would go crazy over this thing...

As much as the commenters on his blog drive me away, I do like the way CR said it:

This dude's MIDIbox SID is a DIY synth the way that an Aston Martin Vanquish is a car.

Coincidentally I had spent that morning poring/drooling over a neighbour's DB9 and I agree. It's the attention to details that does it. 8 SIDs is hot enough. but it's all the little things that Wilba considered along the way that make it really something. It's the same thing that makes the firmware so awesome - lots of people could write a SID synth, but to do it like TK has, is truly incredible. Everything TK does is like a how-to. It's combined well with Wilba's skills with layouts and CAD work and the result is a monster!

hehehe yeah, I am a bit mental... :o

[Artesia]

congrats ! :)

..even if you cant be doing with all the fuss ..its no bad thing for ucapps :) ..hopefully the exposure may get us afew more contributors to the madness here :)

Unfortunately, it's going to drive up the price of old SID's and C64's too  :(

I don't begrudge the exposure though, it's the MBSID i've been waiting for for two years nearly!
