Well, you want 1.74685, but seeing as it’s the same hardware, you’d be mad not to just run v2.
I want it simple. This is supposed to be my little, mobile Jam-session-SID. And I am using only one SID. Using the Polyphonic engine with just one SID is pretty useless. you can play 3 notes and the next 3 notes will be silent.
And,.. I’ve got friends that call me “mad” just because I know how to use a soldering iron ;D
But: there is a problem with the filter. somehow the Cutoff frequency seems to be modulated by an LFO. I’ve set all LFO depths to zero and checked that that there is no mod source assigned to the filter, but it stays the same…
And there’s anothe Issue with my Banksticks: sometimes after booting, or during stepping through the patch numbers, they are being formatted! And sometimes there are “patches” that should be <empty>, but showing like 16 arrows pointing leftwards.
I think I’ve killed my Bankstick. But thats not a problem.
A bigger problem is that I think that my first OSC is dead. it doesn’t sound when I’ve switched OSC 2+3 off, but makes a sound when OSC 2 or 3 or both are on.

This won’t happen, when you enable the Mono option in the ENS->SID menu
Especially for Jam sessions the V2 firmware is much better, e.g. bassline and drum sequences can be easily prepared and interactively selected.
However, the PIC18F4685 variant of MBSID V1 is located here

In the PIC18F452 variant of V1 firmware, matrix registers are crossing the ECAN memory range - random things can happen.

Sounds like an issue with R2 of the core (or could it be, that this resistor is not soldered?)

weird.
Really weird; hopefully not a digital defect inside the SID - are you able to test it with another SID chip?
And what does “OPS” mean in the OSC menu?
Oscillator Phase Synchronisation (phase is reset together with ENV trigger for more percussive sounds)

changed to V2, problem solved

R2 is soldered, after the upload of V2, the BS is formatting nonstop. sometimes you can see the CS-startup screen, but before It disappears, formatting starts again.
I think it’s just a damaged BS
