I'm excited because today I received my SD2iec in the mail!  I'm going to test it out when I get home from work,  but I don't really know how to use it.  It came with a pre formatted SD card,  so I don't have to do that stuff... But I can't find any info on how to use it with MSSIAH...

Can anybody offer any tips on using the SD2iec with MSSIAH? First off,  where does it plug in?  In port 1,  port 2? Serial port?  I'm assuming,  perhaps wrongly,  that I can just attach it to my C,  insert the SD card,  and go to file ---> save,  etc.  to save songs in the sequencer.. But how do I then access those files later?  By choosing "load" from the file menu?  Or do I need to type stuff on that blue startup screen? :/

Forgive my ignorance but I've never really used discs with my C64 before,  just music carts.  And I know very little about using a C64,  obviously ;) Any help offered is greatly appreciated!  I'm very excited to start creating some C64 chiptune!  Thanx!

Edit:  i meant Prophet 64,  not MSSIAH.. Same difference though,  I believe.

Lookin at this one:

I have a thing for clear cases.

Ok,  so Fast Forward a few months and now I have 3 C64's,  2 of which are modified... One for Cynthcart and one for Prophet64 and Retroskoi+.  Anyways,  now I am looking to get a SD2iec so that I can start saving songs in Prophet. 

Just wondering,  are these easy to use?  And,  does it matter what size SD card I use?

Also,  I don't really know how to format an sd card for it...is this necessary?  Or can I just plug in an sd card and go?  Please forgive my ignorance -_-

Thanks in advance!

Nice work!

All I need now is an Alex Mauer comment for the trifecta! wink

I'll probably end up bending one of the other ones too,  instead of opening this one up again... I'll have to go a little more in depth to find the feedback mod and I'll probably add a simple rc lowpass filter  too.

(Brother Android,  another one of my favorite chip artists!)

It's about as simple as they get!  I actually have 3 of these now,  you can't really bounce tracks on them without at least 2...

I tried connecting the input to the output with a pot...but without flipping over the pcb it's sort of hard to tell what's what...


So,  after opening it up and tinkering around a little bit,  I ended up just adding a 1k pot before the motor to be able adjust the recording/playback speed.  I wanted to add a distortion/feedback knob and also perhaps a tone knob but I couldn't figure it out...There is barely any room inside the thing,  but a couple pots could still be added below where the track buttons are... so I may add these mods yet if I can get them figured out.

I used this one from Casperelectronics... It works so well that I've used it in several other projects too now.

Just finished this little metronome... You can control the rate with the knob or with the light sensitive photocell for irregular beats!
