My midibox SID "OLD CHERRY"

Tone · June 25, 2007, 1:51am

ItÂ´s Finally READY.

I allmost bought ElektronÂ´s SIDStation but… when I find this great site…

Now 6 month later… I Finished my project..

my lovely old C64 got another change.. This is FANTASTIC Instrument.. very musical.. playable…

IÂ´m drooling

Specs: 8580 chip with minimum Control Surface

Building time: January 1st to June 24th so.. itÂ´s like a christmas ;D

Now I donÂ´t have to emulate those Lovely C64 PWM lead sounds which I greatly has missed…

BTW.. I have suprised how good sounding this analog filter is in SID… par my ShermanÂ´s FilterBank2… certainly same vibe.. if resonance not going to ShermanÂ´s extreme.

BIG big… THANKS TK and other great people in there!

! UPDATED !

I Find Main Knob.. Hurraa… Thanks To Carolina Herrera Â´s AQUA Deodorant Stick ;D

And I Retouch those wooden ends… with cherryÂ´s .. now itÂ´s bit a old skool… I like:)

Tone, nice box. I like how fat wooden sides goes with white panel. What about those buttons? According to the pictures on your website it looks like heart shaped. Illusion?

Nice Simple and effective layout.

According to the pictures on your website it looks like heart shaped. Illusion?

It does, but I think it’s just the angle.

Hi!

Yeah.. buttons are heart shaped

Thanks to keeping this site alive..

this is very important project to me..

Next Step is V2…

I allready ordered sample PICs from microchip.

I Have spare SID 6581 and I maybe build another for that.

IÂ´m hooked…

all those years I try to emulate Commodore 64 my synths..

Now I can sample the REAL THING make multisamples for polyfonic symphonies

Best Regards, Thorsten.

That new knob is really the icing on the cake!

The first post was updated, so I hadn’t noticed it before, because doing that doesn’t mark the post as ‘unread’

I forgot how your box looked without that big knob, but now is even hard to imagine. Very, nice detail! Very good work. Congratulations again.

ADDON… I just realised now you said deodorant stick…! You are my man. Not much of us here recycling… I guess it took some effort to convert that cap into knob, but it really worth it! Bravo, my recycling friend.
