I guessed it would be wrong PIC connections…  ;D  good to hear you got it going!

yes! as usual, you’re right!

i’ve don’t understand if there is a way to play the 3 OSC separately like 3 instruments, like SID file DO, or not.. since i can assigh just 1 midi CH to the Core i think not… right?

The three voices can be assigned to different channels via SysEx (see SysEx implementation table), but the usage is too difficult. It’s better to assign them to different keyboard zones, this can be done from the CS or with JSynthLib

;D

another 2 quest:

  1. i cant’ find how can i change patchs by CC#, 0 is Banks ok, but Patchs?

edit: find, just use program change on PocketDial and not CC#..

  1. i’ve a Pocket Dial with rotary endless encoders. if the cut off, in ex., is at 88 value, first time i turn the pot, it go to 0 first, than starts change values.. there is a way to program MIOS so this not happned, or changeing the type of send data, IncDec or something similar, so it start from the SID value that is?

i can only preset the Pocket from where value each rotary must start..

tnx  ::slight_smile:

just HALF tutorial and some sound tests at the end of page. enjoy  ;D

yes, there is a way to provide Inc/Dec MIDI Events instead of absolute MIDI events, only a small number of changes have to be made in the CC handler of sid_midi.inc - but it would only be a “poor” solution, and would work completely with already available stuff. E.g., the VST plugIn wouldn’t work anymore, the master/slave system (if SID slaves are connected to the master), etc…

But does this really make sense to use Inc/Dec events, when you don’t know, which value the CC has reached? I would propose to build a complete Control Surface instead searching for a tinkering solution to get the Doepfer controller properly running. The CS is cheaper, but much more powerful anyhow.

And remember, that the CS provides a controller function as well, so that you could sell your Doepfer controller thereafter :wink:

yes, TK you are always right! but for now i’ve just my mono SID and i would play it too much :slight_smile:

4SID are planned for next days (month) with my own complete CS!

..and for the CS i’ve some questions to make about, soon.

thanks as always.

i’ve blamed 10 Fuse 200mA, don’t know why.

i haven’t touch nothing on sid circuit. possible there is a little short around?

now when i powe up sid, there is no start sound and if i play some notes i hear a very few prprprprr.

tomorrow test.

500mA are too much for c64 PSU? 160mA was originals.

night

edit:

tested all cable and circuit, no shorts around.. now all work fine..  :wink:
