MIDISID - second batch and giveaway

The first MIDISID batch ('earlybird' pricing) have now all gone, I have the materials for the second batch and the first of those are now made. 

There are now black and purple editions. At risk of going all Tim Cook, the black really does look gorgeous.


Hardware-wise they're hardly altered but the firmware ('MIDISID OS') has come a long way, new features include:

  • you can set glide speed
  • modwheel support; choose vibrato, filter cutoff or pulse width
  • Increases the range of vibrato, to enable spooky effects
  • Now supports RPN 0 messages - for setting the pitch bend range. (This was important for getting my tiny MIDI theremin working - see https://twitter.com/midi_in_out/status/1574870874158764035 )

(The manual is here in case you'd like to read about all of the features.)

I'll shortly be mailing those who have bought MIDISID already with details for the new firmware.

Giveaway

Because I'm an idiot, I (genuinely) accidentally bought a second copy of @C64Audio Chris Abbot's book Little Book of Sound Chips vol2.

The format of the book is great, it has QR codes so that you can hear examples of what you're reading about. This volume is heavy on the SID chip, so it pairs really well with the MIDISID. Therefore I'd like to give this brand new copy away with one of the new batch of MIDISIDs.


[Update] Thank you for your interest - the book has now been taken. But the current batch of MIDISIDs is ongoing. See listings below.

Because Etsy fees are really heavy, if you're in the UK, I'd really appreciate you contacting me directly to buy but the choice is yours.
