A MidiBox SID gets into the groove.
This project is hot! The goodness of the C64-sound build into a C64 case, but with far more under and over the hood. The keyboard was totally removed and replaced by magical circuitry and a nice looking user interface. The knobs glow and some LED-indicators show the amplitude of the single tracks. This machine isn’t any real C64 anymore – it is a beast. Under the hood 8 SID chips found its place. In total this machine can generate four stereo pairs of sound, and four synthesizer voices at the same time. It gets very futuristic with all that knobs and lights. Very well done interface-design that brings back the good old action- and scifi-movie feeling. A great mod and a jewel for everyone who likes to look at electronic gear.
The worklog of this project is available at subatomic and an extended review can be found at technabob. Oh, you can also build your own C64 MidiBox.
The holy glowing mod.
