MIDIbox SID V2 Bassline Demo #3 c64

The making of a new bassline demo with MIDIbox SID V2. This major update can conrol up to 8 SID soundchips with four PIC microcontrollers, connected to a CAN network. There are 4 dedicated sound engines for Leads/Basslines/Drums and polyphonic multi sounds, which can run on any PIC core as desired.

In this demo, four 8580 SIDs are used (...but my own box is fully stuffed, it just wasn't required to use the remaining ones)
The first core plays drum sequences, the second core two independent bassline sequences.

The sequences are interactively selected from a MIDI keyboard, and sound parameters like CutOff/EnvMod/Decay are changed with faders/joystick/Control Surface.

The Audio Output of the SID which plays the lower octave bassline is feedbacked to the Audio Input for increased resonance and distortion.

You listen to pure and unique SID sound - and it is sequenced live! Only external EQs, compression and delay effects have been added.

sounds almost better than a 303

[malgez]

oh, how i regret past ignorance. I threw away a broken C64, but I could have salvaged the sid chip and used the case for mods. ARGH!

[vstman]

There is nothing. NOTHING that beats acid composed on a C64!

[datasoluble]

@malgez not just the case but the SID chip. Not much good without that.

Just enbelievingly fat sounds. And I didn´t switch on my c128 with SID 8580 since the early 90ies. But how many hours took it you to build this amzing device ?

What controller is that? Looks really useful.
