Thanxx!!! ;D

[midierror]

THAT LOOKS COOL!!

[SvenOkonomi]

wow, that deep base sound you got out of it sounded so good.

[xtal202]

Hi guys!

As the machine had some quirks because the C64 box was too small for the 4SID midibox (the one you see in the video has 4 sid!) , too chaos inside...

So My friend and I made a new one SID midibox with a slightly "retro futuristic appeal"... made of wood and plexyglass ;-)

I will post a video soon.

The midibox of this video is now a ONE SID box... and it rocks without any quirk!

[blumanchu2000]

wait u made that  it sounds incredible and looks like an instrument the cybermen would use from doctor who :)

noisy beast

[qwerfderf]

yeh for one sid that sounds chunky as always. i got 4 6581's a 6582 and 3 8580's. doing some research i found the #61s are the dirty distorted chips which are good for the more high end noisy sounds and the #62/80's are the bass monsters especially for the 303ish bassline mod. i havnt built a midibox or a synth before so this is going to be fun.. does the midibox sid recognise any combination of sid as ill be using the 62 with the 80?

[xtal202]

hi!

you've got a good box of sid!!

mine has the 6582 and i can tell you for sure it's a bass monster!

the video isn't that good ,you can only "imagine" the power of the synth..

I've no 6581, only some 8580 and 6582, but I think you can use different sids and as the chip is "hardwired" to a channel you can have your multitimbral multisid that can do great bass on the '80channel and dirty leads with your '61 on another channel.

check the wilba project , it's really advanced :D

[qwerfderf]

cheers. ive looked into the wilba set up and its probably the best sid synth ever for price and function.. only thing is that smashtv havnt released the pcb boards for it yet and it is looking heavly in demand so im going to send them a request and wait.. btw i heard you can combine the 6582 and 8580's as thier basically the same.. but i also heard that most 6581 chips have broken voices and filters in most chips so fingers crossed the chips i have are ok.. i hope wilba still has some 6582 chips

[infindebula]

Wilba has 6582s, and smash has boards and kits. I finally finished my MB-6582 a few days ago and I rarely come up for air since. It's better than I expected.

Hi,

isn't there a problem with the voltage? 12V (6581) and 9V (8580/6582).

cheers Yuzo

[qwerfderf]

looking good.. how many sids you got in there? ive just got ahold of 8 sid chips for about £40 wich i think is pretty good

[xtal202]

Hi :D

this midibox can contain 4 sids, during the test it only had one sid.

8sid for £40 is good, now can build a Wilba with them :D

Ciao Francesco! MA è tua la Midibox???? Favolosa...

Senti mah.. io avrei 2 C64, ci si può fare qualcosa?

[gattobus]

Complimenti, bell'aggeggio!!! Il suono del SID è veramente unico... Cavolo, e pensare che il mio C64 l'ho dato via 20 anni fa...
