Really the shruthi-1 control board is just a microcontroler with a an lcd screen, midi, some buttons, pots and two connectors to the lower pcb. With the right firmware it could work similiar to the ambika control board where the cards are stand alone synths.
you probably are right about that... so you could use that to manage the MIDI and controls, and make a PCB that does all the sound. Actually the good thing is that the AVR would not have to generate any audio, since that would be done by the SID (or swinsid)
Btw. I think it's great that you are using SwinSIDs! Too many C64 get stripped of their SID chips for projects like the SammichSID, often fully working ones... and it's a pity.

Re: MIDIbox SwinSID (83 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I think making a SID board for the Shruthi could be cool, but quite challenging. The Shruthi control board was made to work with analog filters, the SID is a synth-on-a-chip thing and hence might prove a bit tricky to get to work with the Shruthi. Probably it would be better to do something from scratch, but I reckon this mean a lot of work! But then if you had to develop a custom firmware anyway, probably it would be easier to start from scratch.
Polivoks voicecard for the Ambika could be cool, probably something you'd use as a monophonic voice on it. I don't have an Ambika though... but I have a Polivoks Shruthi-1 and love it!

yeah, but that will mean using a computer

Re: MIDIbox SwinSID (83 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
I'm a bit late for the party sorry, seems like a really interesting project, I think it would have some more potential with a new, redesigned user interface. I have a SammichSID but I've only made a couple of patches on it, because the whole thing is so cumbersome to program.
Something more along the lines of the Shruthi-1 would be nice.
Well just saying, in case someone wants to try again with something like this.
Btw. I'm wondering why all the downloads, videos and sound demos have disappeared...

Topic: Dubmood - Machine (7 replies, posted in Releases)
Anyone heard the latest Dubmood album? I think he (well actually they) really went from totally great to absolutely awesome with the last releases.
Machine is a bit of a mixed thing. There's some new tracks, some that have already been released as a single/EP thing, and a lot of remixed and reworked older ones.
Well it's totally worth a listen and fortunately they have it up on bandcamp:

That could be... need to check!
I was thinking about making a small PCB for this, one that uses standard components, not SMD, and casing it into an external box. The really small adapter is cool, but in the end it's not really necessary.
Well... first I need to figure out SIDWizard anyway

Too bad Hermidi goes into the serial port, doesn't it? That one's already occupied by my Infinity SD2IEC interface.
Also I'm wondering if anybody sells these assembled...

Thanks a lot! since I now got a way to bypass the lack of floppies on my C64, I tried to figure out SidWizard... but it scared me a bit. Though reading the tutorial I see that it's really a lot easier than what it looks like! Thanks a lot.

Re: [SOLD] C64c + MSSIAH plus various stuff for sale (7 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Sorry... I was completely swamped these last days... I checked with the Italian mail system, and a parcel of this size appears to be pretty expensive to ship. Costs about 60$, which is an express parcel with tracking. I have been looking for a cheaper solution (maybe slower, without tracking) but I couldn't find any, or better, I could not find any for a parcel of that size. For smaller packages I can send them as regular mail, and the price it a lot cheaper...
I checked also UPS, but they ask a horrendous amount of money (like 300$)... I don't know, I don't have a lot of experience with this, so maybe there's just some tricks I don't know...

Re: [SOLD] C64c + MSSIAH plus various stuff for sale (7 replies, posted in Trading Post)
I'm sorry, but I'm selling this stuff also because I need money, and need to make room in my flat. So trading is a bit out of question right now...

Re: [SOLD] C64c + MSSIAH plus various stuff for sale (7 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Shouldn't be a problem. i.e. the only problem I see is that for faster shipping solutions it's going to be expensive... For small items (like the MSSIAH cart) it should be about 15$ with a standard shipping solution (which may take some time though).

Re: [SOLD] C64c + MSSIAH plus various stuff for sale (7 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Since nobody seems to want the whole bunch of stuff (which is understandable since most of you already have one or the other piece, I guess).
I'll be selling the items separately, with the following pricing:
C64, with datasette and Ac Adapter: about 30 €
MSSIAH Cart: I'd love to get 40€, since it's practically new and has been used little.
Micromys mouse adapter 20 € (works also with amiga and atari computers, it's just a jumper you have to set)
Small TV-monitor: you can have that for 5€

or, you can buy a newer C64c and put the motherboard into an old breadbox c64. If you're not specifically after the sound of the 6581 SID, that is... I've bought 3 c64c in the years and they where all fully working!
