It sounds very much like it's just an issue of the wrong channel.

No, he means these: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card

The GNU toolkit will include pretty much anything you need for preprocessing, compiling, linking, debugging, etc.

I think the reason some people might recommend you learn within a *nix environment is because of the ease of interfacing with other elements of the operating system and/or hardware compared to Windows.

The forum is probably gone for good. It's a huge disappointment for me, too. Very sad considering the amount of work people put into it.
I don't want to comment on the details at this point. Just know that even though I was one of the admins, I was not consulted over the closure either.

I'm toying with the idea of opening a new 1-bit forum somewhere, but I don't have the resources to do so at the moment - I don't want to use one of those el cheapo freeboards with ads, and I don't have a server nor the knowledge to run a proper phpBB or whatever.

I could offer free hosting, db and/or a free sub-domain of one of my sites. Feel free to shoot me a message.

By default the first emulated disk contains a patched version of SID-Wizard and demo tunes and the second emulated disk contains lots of instruments for SID-Wizard.

Under the default configuration these two emulated drives will be set to 9 and 10, so simply select the drive you want with F8 and the load and save as normal.

Its kinda scummy to "reverse engineer" midines, no matter how you feel about the way wayfar handles business.

Reverse engineering it to sell a replica is shitty, but reverse engineering it to fix issues with it or add features is pretty alright in my books. If someone offered a drop in chip or documented some hardware mods that fixed things or added features I wouldn't feel bad at all about that.

So I'm going to have a c64 in my possession soon but I'm not sure what route I should go for for running trackers on it. I'll have a disk drive, but no floppies. Been eyeing that kerberos cart for SID Wizard and Cynthcart MIDI but I don't think it supports d64 and I'm also curious about trying defmon on ntsc.

There's also that ultimate drive but that's kinda pricey. Easy Flash seems like another decent alternative but I haven't seen if it'll support d64 stuff.

So what's the general consensus? Should I just find some big old floppies or what?

The Kerberos does support some d64 slots and prgs slots in it's flash; it also can hold a EasyFlash image. The down side is it doesn't save your SID Wiz tracks to it's flash, so you need a floppy or sd2iec. There are plans to update the firmware to include this.

It'll work with the internal floppy emulation, though. So as long as you've got space on one of your two emulated floppies you're still saving to reliable flash memory.

Would moving the prosound mod connections to the pre-pot positions eliminate this problem? Would that just make the output stay at max volume?

Yes and yes.

Sounds like the prosound mod was done incorrectly, bridging the two channels.

I have in the past manually removed clicks via Audacity by redrawing segments of the waveform. It's tedious, though.

an arduino-based solution.

Can you link me to an example?

I don't know of one that already exists but the arduino should be more than capable of doing it.

EDIT: Another inexpensive option is a PCIe card:

Most USB parallel devices don't fully support all the pins, as they are designed for those using them purely to connect a printer. If you can find a fully functional one it'll work but those are rare and if you want to go the USB route your best bet is probably an arduino-based solution.

Also, private message me if you want me to print something and send it to you. My printer's bed size is currently only 100mm cubed but I'm in the process of upgrading that right now, in case you need something larger. I can also print something in several parts for you to attach together with glue or friction welding.

I'll take you up in that offer. The board I did above would be even cooler with an enclosure. What files would you need? File extensions?

If you shoot me a manifold STL that'll do just fine.
