Question regarding parts list.

MIDIbox SID
1

Hey all,

I was just wondering if someone could clarify my parts list before I order? I am building a fairly basic SID atm, so I am figuring I will just need the CORE and SID kits from smashTV. I am only going mono for starters, and I only have one SID chip at the moment anyway. I am planning on having the minimal control surface with 9 buttons and 1 rotary encoder for the menu, then the 5 encoders that can be assigned to anything. Will these two PCBs be all I need? Im guessing mounting the buttons would be easier if I use a breadboard? Other than that, I have a 2x20 LCD which I will be getting some 16 strand ribbon cable for, and a few others to run between whatever else I get. I was a bit confused with the connectors on smashTV’s website…are they for connecting onto the pcb pegs on the various boards? or for something else? Any advice much appreciated :slight_smile:

EDIT: for audio in to utilise the synth’s filter…do I need an AIN kit as well? or can that be done with the SID pcb?

you’ll need a DIN module as well, only 8 inputs can be used directly on the core module.

The audio in is located on the SID module, no need for an AIN.

Hi.

As per http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_hw.html no additional hardware is required for the audio in but you will require a MBHP_DIN for the ‘minimal control surface’ as mentioned in http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_fp.html

Arrgh: beaten… (but here are the references!)

Cheers

thanks guys! I just placed an order then. Annoyingly I have too much uni work due to justify needing it delivered in the next week..so I have several weeks to wait before it arrives. Oh well…anticipation! :slight_smile:
