hi,
I’m abou to order my SID frontpanel from Schaeffer…
to make it rack compatible, I’d like to put all the jacks on the frontpanel.
so i just wanted to aks if I’ve forgotten something before ordering 
1 x MIDI In
1 x MIDI Out
4 x Audio In
4 x Audio Out
4 x SUB D / Bankstick
so long,
julian
maybe you want a MIDI Thru, too?
And you need only one Sub-D, since Banksticks are only connected to the first (master) PIC.
yeah, but you can also connect multiple bank stiks.
if i’m not wrong you can connect up to 8 banksticks at the same time…
midi thru is a good idea
so long, julian
How about sharing that .fpd file?
I decided not to use the bank stick design and went for the 8 eeprom setup as an internal memory board.
If i understood the design correctly that gives me 1056 internal patches, my old yamaha FX500 has only 30 user memory slots for patches which is very poor for a commercial product , even when it was produced..
Jorge… 
Yes, I would also suggest 8 internal banksticks.
The 4 Audio INs are “nice to have” for some experiements, but no must. You could also place them at the backside.
I’m missing the AOUT port!
Sidenote: in the meantime my MIDIboxe SID/FM and SEQ are stuffed with a special DIN socket for the AOUT, so that I can use it as “breakout” box. I’ve used a 6-pin socket, the remaining pin will be used later for a serial connection to a (planned) 8 x gate extension (it’s just a 74HC595).
Reichelt Part # for the socket: MAB6
(the picture shows the 5 pin type, I mean the shading at the right upper edge)
Reichelt Part # for the plug: MAS 60
Best Regards, Thorsten.
