MBSID LCD messages

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hello to everyone

I have built a single SID which I am currently using without a CS (but not for long - the front panel is ready :slight_smile: )and which I control from a Dopfer Drehbank Midi Controller). Everything works fine -  the sound is absolutely fantastic- except for one thing: I have connected a LCD and although it says, at first “MIOS v. 1.7 T. Klose” and right after that “MidiBoxSID v. 1.7 CS not enabled!”, I cannot get it to display anything else when send midi CC from my Drehbank or from my master keyboard.

The question is: Can I get my no-CS  SID to display the parameters I am altering using an external controller? And if yes what must I do (must I send any special sysex string for that ?)

Thanks in advance - I really want to fix that so that I can use the SID on a studio session tomorrow… ;D

Hi Dimitris,

you can just upload the CS version to see at least the patch number/bank/name and MIDI channel. So long your core module is stuffed completely (especially the 10k pull-up at J9), it won’t hurt

Can I get my no-CS  SID to display the parameters I am altering using an external controller?

no, this is not possible

Best Regards, Thorsten.
