I dont understand why didn't you just send me a a PM or post a message here saying "Hey, I'm back, STOP whatever you are trying to do here" and actually take time to read the whole topic and check the files I posted?
I would respond that I didn't really sell anything, just the prototyope I made and everyone would be cool I think.

No comment ;/

However, sammichSID is my copyrighted design,

I would advice to actually check the license and look for a paragraph about derivative work wink

Wilba wrote:

If you copy it and start selling it under the sammichSID name,

Yeah I already admitted that the topic name sucks and I'm sorry

Also I didn't really 100% copy you design. Yeah I looked at your design and it was my main inspiration. But I also looked at other designs as well - SwinSID, schrabs stereoswinsid and the shruthi. And I advice you the same. You can easily simplify the lcd circuit for example.

Wilba wrote:

Are sammichSID case design files available?

I hope you don't imply that I copied your case design yikes

The point: If you're going to copy something of mine and then call it a sammichSID, people may associate your project with my project; they may think (incorrectly) that it has my approval, or has the same parts, or same build quality; you are effectively trading on my reputation....

For the record the topic states that it is a clone. So I'm sure everyone knew it wasn't the real deal.

I don't think I have anything more to add. I hope we are cool now wink If anybody is still interested in me ripping off people you can check my Ambika Polivoks voicecard down at the mutable-instruments forums and hopefully in the future another sid synth with less cubersome interface similiar to the shruthi. Bye

Why don't you just change the topic title already if you know it's bad?

Edit: Also, in the guitar pedal world "clone" usually mean "exact copy" so that is not a word to bandy around lightly. Many guitarists look down on "true clone" pedal-making companies because it is considered unethical. Most of the "clones" ("bad monkey is a tubescreamer clone", etc) that AREN'T regarded as shady aren't really "true clones" but are more "copy-cats", since a true clone will actually have reverse-engineered parts to try to match exactly the parts of the pedal they are cloning, and "copies" are simply designed to sound/behave the same way as the pedal they are copying.

I say all this to say: the word "clone" is not as clearly defined as you seem to assume.

Edit: OH GOODY you changed it :3
