“Will you build me a Midibox SID?”
I get this asked via email a few times a year and I figured this time I’d write something to help everyone.

Midibox MB-6582 completed
01:03 PM Oct.11, 2009
What is it?
- 8 Commodore-64 SID sound synthesizer chips, arranged in 4 stereo pairs.
- Controlled by 4 PIC18F4685 microcontrollers.
- The controll panel is milled and engraved by me using a CNC machine that I built.
Why?
- Because I like building things and playing with synthesizers. And now I have a CNC machine and a really fun synthesizer!
More information on the MB-6582 synthesizer project can be found here.
New CNC machine working great!

Last night I wrote some code to allow a high resolution optical encoder to work on the midibox platform. Here’s a link to my post there.
Midibox - Tascam MM-RC

Today I began taking apart a Tascam MM-RC remote tape control and using the Midibox hardware platform to assume control of all of the functions on the device. You can view the conversion process here on the midibox.org forums.
