Banksticks B not available?

MIDIbox SID
1

i guys

i tryed to upload the second patch bank in the second bankstick but the patch manager says that is not available

so i tryed to change the order of the roms on the board and everything is ok

i mean the connection, because the core is able to read both

if for example i try to re-upload the bank n1

i  have both roms with the same bank(?)

how can i fix this?

nobody answer…

it’s because my explanation was not clear?

sorry tokyo, I did have some trouble understanding your post.

Are you trying to access the second bankstick from jsynthlib?

i tryed with everything

now i’m using the tl’s patch manager

but i’m not able to access to the second bankstick

i uploaded the 8580 bank in the first bankstick without problems

then i opened the second patchbank

and patch manager read this as bank C(?)

so when i try to upload the patches, first says the C is not available and then says that B is not available…

also the midibox is not able to read the bankstick B

just says <no bankstick>

i’m sure that is not a problem with connections, but i don’t know how to solve the problem…

i will try to be more clear if it’s possible

i have a vectorboard with a couple of eproms

mounted on it

one is supposed to be bankstick A, the other maybe one day will become the bankstick B

to upload the presets i’m using the midibox patchmanager

with the 8580 presets i don’t have problem, the presets are already uploaded

in bankstick A, the other bankstick is like invisible when both are mounted.

i did a kind of experiment, i removed bankstick A and i tryed to upload the second presetsbank on my “i wanna be” bankstick B

this presetbank is read by the midibox patchmanager as bank C

so bank C is the source and bank B should be the destination(my second bankstick)

but when i start the upload the MBPM says the C & B are not available

so it’s like to say that the id of the second bankstick is “wrong”

if i upload the C as source and A as destination looks like working

but when both banksticks are mounted is a bit messy to read the name of the presets

it’s like a conflict beetween two bankstickA

if i try to select a bankstick from the CFG submenu from my midibox sidsynth

only A is available even if both banksticks are mounted

the connections on the bankstick board are ok, because if i move the eproms

from one socket to the other, the sid is able anyway to read them

but only when only one eprom is mounted

what i need is to find a way to “change the id” of the second bankstick

or stuff like that…

how can i do this?

is my explanation more clear now?

You set the ID of the bankstick IC using the first 3 pins.

On the BankStick page you can see in the 8x bankstick schematic how the 3 pins are either tied to ground or 5V. This is a binary representation of the ID.

Hope that helps!
