All things come to those who wait. But even if you wait for an eternity, no SID will come your way unless you hunt it down because it has been long since it was discontinued! And so I did hunt it!!. Two found and thus, the quest for the MidiBox SID began.
It is a stereo [...]
This is the day of the midibox. I started making 4 MidiIIC modules and 4 Core Modules (pic based)The four MidiIIC will be used for a midi router (again, a midibox project) I am making.One of the cores will be used for it too. The other one will be used for a SID engine (with [...]
This is the new babyBotte. I decided against the cardboard shoebox and dumped it. So I got a TRIPP container set from IKEA at first for putting the babybotte on the small square one and an 8MHz avrSynth I have lying around, inside the bigger one. My wife gave the idea of putting the babyBotte [...]
This is how fractalSynth looks like:
And this is how it sounds (a little tape delay added)
I had once stumbled upon Catweazle’s fractal synth. In the circuit benders forum it seemed that the project had come to a halt. But recently I realized that it was going on elsewhere.! Here.Also, the files can be found in [...]
Made this in order to test the samples I (again) got from microchip… (coolest guys in the world.. If I ever make something sellable in huge numbers with a microcontroller, it will surely be a PIC .I include the brd file of eagle so you can make it yourself (it is tested that it [...]
At least more serious than the one I had before.. The pickit2 from microchip (I felt guilty for all the free samples I got so I bought the original, but there are clones on, you guessed it, e-bay!!!). It can program a much wider range of chips, namely the 16Fxxx and 18Fxxx and also [...]
A (failed) experiment: I got 18F6621 samples from microchip.com (I LOVE these guys!!) and they are packaged in a TQFP64 package (a very dificult to use package if you are not a machine) so I decided to make a breakout box. Get those pins in pin header format so I can stick whatever I want [...]
These are the core components, etched, soldered, placed, programmed, working, but lacking a nice panel to sit on. This is my weak spot. .. Panels…
A big thanks to T. Klose and ucapps.de for exisiting
The midibox Core module is a monster of usability. It is a hardware core component and a software library that can turn the chip into a powerful midi/controller machine. There is a very active community that writes programms and creates modules and applications. The mastermind behind the midibox is T. Klose (and I wonder what [...]
