Stuff gets done…
July 5, 2006
Hrm. I got stuff done today. Personal stuff, but stuff none the less:
· MIDIbox SID-NUXX PCBs ordered: v1.0 S1 (photo gallery retired) (S1 means ‘set one’, as in, the first set of boards I ordered)
· MIDIbox SID-NUXX Bill of Materials mostly published to the forthcoming wiki, which will eventually become all of nuxx.net.
· Watched STS-121 lift off and reach orbit.
· Made more iced tea, and drank almost all of it.
Getting the PCBs to the state of ordering took a lot of time. Much of it involved manually looking over parts and ensuring things are exactly what I wanted, and that they fit. Then the documentation… Waiting for the online DFM check… Needing to eat… Writing a new CAM job… etc.
Anyway, yeah. Now it’s time for bed.
What synths are you going to control with the box?
Did your friend get that 909 kit because they couldn’t find a real one or that kit ‘the right price’?
Oh, I have a 9090 clone kit made by Trevor Page, it’s just waiting for me to build it.
And this will be a synth itself, which will be controlled by other things. The nifty bit is that it has a C64’s SID in it, and makes nifty blippy bleepy sounds.
