Build Your Own Gadget

well..  It has been some time now since I posted something here.  Things i did since the last post is buying a bulk of C64 C-models. I know the first modification will fail so I need spare parts. Second is that I made my x-mas ‘thing I like the have’ list with all kind of things I will need to build my C64 laptop and also for my other projects like the midi player.

Why did it took so long for posting this you ask?  I was very busy working on my photography graduation assignments. I graduated, so I may call myself ‘Photographer’ now.

First taking some time off from all things I want to do and begin next year it’s time to build some gadgets.

Today after a busy weekend I got an email that my bid on marktplaats was ok. The Roland MIDI sound canvas was mine to collect. I jumped in the car to see the item in person and listen to a demo tune. It sounded fine to me so they gave it to me (in exchange for some money). At home I connected the Roland to my MacBookPro to listen to some tunes at home. It sounded much beter than playing MIDI files on my computer.

On the website http://www.coolcircuit.com there are a lot of cool circuits. If you want to build something and need help of simulair projects. You can find it here. I will check this site out for things for microcontrollers and MIDI. When I ever have time to realy start on the MIDI player project. I try to find some project here first.

Ok. Also for this little project I need thing. I only have microcontrollers but no MIDI Sound Module. So, the search begins. Searching on ebay, marktplaats (also from ebay but Dutch and less safe to buy). My eye hit a Roland SC55. An old sound module. Small and pretty good sound so it’s perect for my project.

Pretty right?

Well, it’s a small box and that what I need. Let’s wait and see if i’m able to ‘win’ a device like this for a cheap price.
