I while ago I saw a post where someone made a 2 SID + CORE but I can’t seem to find it. I’m thinking about going to a more modular solution for my rackmount SID synth since I can get pieces working easier individually and could simplify the design of some things (such as the control surface). Anyone recall where I can find this?
Yo Guru.
I haven’t looked closely at it, but isn’t that what the TwinSID is - there’s a lot of pics in the gallery right now… Maybe stupid to mention as u no doubt have seen those pics ;)…
Modular is nice! Easy to replace boards too if something goes wrong :).
TwinSID is close but it’s a full featured solution it would seem, much like sammichSID. The board I saw was basically a CORE plus 2 SID modules in one neat package (I think it contained a bankstick too). It was nice because, though being modular, it took up less room and I wanted to see if I could use that for the basis of what I wanted to do.
MB6582 will work just fine, although it’s easier for my to wrap my head around a standard DIN/DOUT setup instead of the transistor sink. The wiring of my control surface has also been complicated, but I think I could simplify that by using my own wiring matrix (originally I was going to use the exact same connections but that doesn’t really fit well with my CS design).
I like the idea of getting rid of things I don’t need (like space for MIDI jacks, which will be panel mount for my design) although a modular design would probably, at best, be the same size as the MB6582 board (and probably more). Just a thought I had though.
could be the on you looking for is the cooperative work of nILS and flexinoodle:
That’s not the thing I was looking for exactly, but it’s getting somewhat close! I wonder if nILS will kinda provide the schems 
Hah the pics of it on the grass were FTW
sammichSID base board? 
I thought the schematics weren’t available for sammichSID? I mean, I can just get the CORE and SID schematics and go to town, although I figured if I could find the CORE + 2 SID module that’d be a better place to start. Either way, I think I’m probably going to use my MB-6582 board for a while since it works and I’ll have room in my case for it.

Indeed I’ve been perusing through the other post on it Are the schems available in any form perhaps? Also, what was the wire-width you used for your control surface bits? I think I’m using thicker wire in EagleCAD for my CS modules currently - so far so good but I have a feeling I could be using smaller.
