Yeah you could say that, but it's really more similar to the shruthi-1 case

Re: MIDIbox SwinSID (83 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I must say that I was a little suprised that nobody wanted a demo till now. I'll try to post something in the upcoming weekend. Ofcourse it won't do anything more or less than a sammichsid with swinsids 
But the thing I really wanted to share is that I just soldered the front panel and everything seems to work so I finally can post the schematics.
If you'll find any bugs please share your findings.
top.sch
top.brd
base.sch
base.brd
So it's time to design the case.

Would using a real sid be a drop in replacement? If so those prices are pretty good!
No real sids. Using swinsids allowed me to simplify the whole circuit and make it a bit smaller.
btw. Nice that you find it cheap because I was afraid it will be to expensive ;/

shipping cost to the US?
I think that in the worst case scenario is:
USA: 14eur
EU: 11eur

Re: MIDIbox SwinSID (83 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Hey, so after a quick talk with TK I can build max 10 units.
So with these quantities in mind the pricing would have to be as follows:
-just pcbs 50eur + shipping
-for programmed chips 30 eur + shipping
-case 30 eur + shipping
-kits with cases 155eur + shipping
-assembled units 230 eur + shipping
I know it's not cheap so keep in mind that I'll be realising the schematics in few days so you'll be able to build everything from scratch yourself ;D

Will there be an audio input?
Unfortunetly swinsid doesn't support audio input ;/

A nice project indeed. However, commercial sale of Swinsids is disallowed by the designer, despite some webshops selling them anyway. So you should definately get in touch with him if you intend to sell any larger quantities of these boards.
Thanks fot the info. As I wrote before I'll contact the guys responsible for swinsid and midibox before selling anything

What's the price gonna be?
It depends on if I'll decide to make fully assembled units, kits or just bare pcbs.
Also depends on how many people will be interested and I don't really have a clue how much should I compensate the guys behind midibox and swinsid.

Topic: MIDIbox SwinSID (83 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Hey guys, I'm in the process of making a MIDIbox SID synth that has a very similar control surface to the sammichsid but uses swinsids instead of actual sids.
IMPORTANT STUFF:
- No audio in - swinsid doesn't support audio in.
- No volume modulation. I think that it is again becuse of swinsid. You can set the attack, decay, sustain and release parameters in the oscillator section but adding an envelope or LFO to the volume doesn't work.
LEGAL STUFF:
-As you see below my avatar I'm not Wilba, I'm not affiliated with them and believe me I'm not trying trick you into thinking I am.
-As you can see in the picture it's not a sammichsid. It's just another MIDIbox SID project that happens to have a control surface similiar to sammichsid but uses SwinSIDs instead of real SIDs.
-This is not for sale. I included the sources so you can easily make one yourself. Maybe you will learn a thing or two.
-If you have questions please ask but remember to be polite and have some respect.
-You use the files provided on your own responsibility.

Topic: Recording problem (1 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Hey, while recording the latest bits of my music I stumbled upon a problem. When I record just one high pitched instrument everything is ok, but when I add some bass, the high pitched instrument volume decreases a little bit. You can notice it HERE. I wonder what's the reason for this. Is it my soundcard because I use a crappy integrated realtek circuit or maybe it's the drivers (directsound, xaudio,asio)? Anyone had problems like this?
PS: The funny thing is that I listen to the track while I record it and it sounds ok and the problem comes up when I playback the recording.

From what I read here and seen on your picture I think you should try amplifier pins 7 & 8 for audio. Those labeled LIN & RIN duh

Yes, a electrolytic one
And yes, the lead on the other side.

Topic: [GBC] Better noise filtering (8 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
So I've seen this gbc mod about making the gbc louder and I got intrested in the idea of adding a capacitor to the 5V rail so it won't produce as much noise.
So here are my results:
I've added a 470uF electrolytic capacitor between these two points. The second point is the lead on the back of the big capacitor. Remember to check the polarity
But how does it sound?
Here is a mp3 file. The first three notes are with the capacitor and the second thre are without.
How the noise reduction looks like
btw I also made the "gbc bass mod" and its super cool
