Over the past few months, I’ve engineered a brand-new MB6582-style synthesizer, deeply inspired by the original Midibox MB6582 but redesigned completely from scratch for improved reliability, easier assembly, and modern component availability.
Key new features:
Premium ENIG front panel PCB - durable, professional finish
4 PIC cores onboard - full MB6582-compatible architecture
Factory-manufactured PCB set, including the front panel
Supports ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, or original 6581/6582/8580 chips
Clean internal layout, solid build, and high-quality components
Prices:
Base unit: 420 EUR + shipping
With Kung Fu SID set: 499 EUR
ArmSID pricing available upon request.
Availability:
The license allows producing 10 units, so I’m offering 9 units for sale.
1 unit is in stock right now
Additional units can be assembled in 3-4 weeks
If I receive permission to sell more broadly, I plan to lower the price and release all design files as open source
I will make a separate thread in Latest News or somewhere else
Sorry I should have clearer,could I have (for example) 4x12v and 4x9v Sid’s in the unit?
Not trying to be awkward but that’s what I have here…4 of each.

Hello and thank you for the interest.
They can be mixed on the main PCB, so you just choose the voltage for each SID installed. Proper capacitors should be installed as well, I can arrange it before shipping.
Default capacitors are set to 8580 mode. You can set the voltage separately to each of 8 SIDs, just like on original MB6582.
Thank you @Sgw32 for the effort you put into the reincarnation of the MB6582.
I’m interested in buying one equipped with Kung Fu SIDs.
Can you send me a PM?
