Heres some pics of my new MB6582. It sounds awesome.
I would like to thank everyone on this forums for your help. I would especially like to thank: TK, Wilba, SmashTV, Hawkeye and nILS.
I still need some knobs for the CS, and I would like to go with som Korg Mono/poly style ones. But they are hard to find. My LCD backlight went dead last night, and I think I need an new LCD. Maybe one with a different shape to put the display closer to the CS.
Oh and it is stuffed with 4*6581 ('83-'84), 1* 6581R5 ('86) and 1* 8580 ('90). I’ll need at least one more 8580 to get that awesome stereo sound.
One thing that surprised me when I booted it for the first time was the amout possibilities with the Midibox SID v.2. software. It is pure awesome.
I took the liberty of adding my MB6582 to the officiel build list as the latest (127). I hope it’s okay.
Lastly. Thank’s for making this possible guys!
Sorry about the “whiteout” on some of the pics. My Blitz is too hot. And sorry about the (at times) dumb questions. :geek:
Heres a small recording I did as my first sound test. The drums are Waldorf Attack and I used the sysex editor for SID manipulation.
Looking good :frantics: Pleeeease exchange the screws on the CS though
He he sure nILS. What screws would you recommend?
BTW. I was in the studio last night and we used a DSI Prophet 800 as mother keyboard for the MB6582. Funny enough it seemed like fitteling with the prophet 800 knobs changed some values on the MB6582. When we turned down the master volume on the prophet the MB6582’s volume went down etc. Thats kind of need. We used one of the “exotic” waveforms on the 8580 SID (Sq + saw I think) and it fitted on the track like butter on hot bread. It sounds absolutely dirty and awesome… Again. Thanks!
Next project is a midi input for my Tama Techstar drum machine. Like this dude did. Maybe a midibox would do the job.
I did it “classic” style but with orange LCD and leds and it looks great I think ! I’m still waiting for the knobs but I think they’ll be in the mailbox in one or two days… And the feedback mod still has to be done too.
Many thanks to the whole community for being so nice and helpful and special thanks to Thorsen and Wilba for making it happen and SmashTV for just being so cool !
I did not have time to try it a lot as I had a lot of work these last two days but tomorrow I’m free so I’m gonna play it autistic style… :frantics:
