sammichSID therefore has the following design constraints/ features, which support each other:
*cheap
*small
*DIY newbie friendly
*minimal control surface
*single “walwart”/AC adapter supply, no C64 PSU brick!
*stereo SID, optimized for 8580/6582A, 6581 optionally supported
*“sandwich-style” stacked PCB design, no wires!
*laser-cut 3mm acrylic case by Ponoko, customization possible
*industry standard 2×20 character LCD with low-power LED backlight, customization possible
*common control surface parts used, customization possible
*To be available as a complete kit, including PCBs, components, case, hardware and (optionally) two 6582A SIDs!
MIDIbox SID Synthesizer V2 features
*One Core module and one stereo SID module, fully integrated on one PCB with power supply.
*Five “BankStick” slots, so you can store 4 banks of 128 patches, plus 128 “Ensembles” (engine and patch configurations)
*Jumpers to configure the power supply, allowing a regulated 12V input to power 6581, or unregulated AC/DC input to power 8580/6582A.
*Minimal control surface with three user-customizable buttons and LED matrix for maximum bling.
*2×20 character LCD with support for low-power (25mA) or high-power (250mA) LED backlight.
*Potential for future upgrade to MIDIbox SID Synthesizer V3 using add-on board"

Where was that 3 years ago? Anyway, just testifying that Wilba's a reliable guy. I've ordered sid chips from him before.
ReplyDeleteYep, he definitely walks the walk. I bought 110 6582A's from him. Shipped from Oz. That's is a nice looking little box he's built there.
