I get this asked via email a few times a year and I figured this time I’d write something to help everyone. The short answer is “No”, but the long answer is that I promise you that no matter how slow, cheap, illiterate, or busy that you think you are, there is no question, you can accomplish building one yourself.

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!

Midibox - Tascam MM-RC
