MIDIbox SEQ V4 Teaser from Thorsten Klose on Vimeo.
"Demonstration of an early alpha version of the upcoming MIDIbox SEQ V4.
Many planned features are not available yet. However, most functions of MBSEQ V3 have already been re-implemented in C for the new MBHP_CORE_STM32 module and for an accurate PC/Mac based emulation. I also started to add new functions which were too complex for the old PIC based core.
[0:00] new frontpanel designed by Wilba (but the firmware will also support the frontpanel of MBSEQ V2 and V3)
[0:02] a drum track can play up to 16 instruments
[0:10] patterns are stored on a SD card now, and can be loaded (and stored) w/o sequencer hickups
[0:18] zoomed step view (shows 64, 128, 256 steps on a single page)
[0:10] snare is triggered with the overworked (more flexible) roll function at 384ppqn resolution
[0:20] new pattern selection page with pattern labels and categories
[0:23] MIDIbox SID V2 in bassline mode
[0:30] Roll function used on the bassline
[0:38] a loopback track controls the transposer, it doesn't matter anymore at which position this track is located
[0:53] Piano controlled from a track in chord mode
[1:13] some randomly selected chords
[1:24] simple synth line
[1:45] now with MIDI echo in Force-to-Scale mode (synth is in mono mode, therefore only one sound will be played - it sounds like an arpeggio)
[2:14] a second MIDIbox SID bassline is played
[2:43] slowly muting the tracks
[3:00] thanks for listening! :-)
This track has been made in a 2 hours session on a sunday afternoon after the last blocking bugs have been fixed"
MIDIbox SID V2 Bassline Demo #3 c64 from Thorsten Klose on Vimeo.
"The making of a new bassline demo with MIDIbox SID V2. This major update can conrol up to 8 SID soundchips with four PIC microcontrollers, connected to a CAN network. There are 4 dedicated sound engines for Leads/Basslines/Drums and polyphonic multi sounds, which can run on any PIC core as desired.
In this demo, four 8580 SIDs are used (...but my own box is fully stuffed, it just wasn't required to use the remaining ones)
The first core plays drum sequences, the second core two independent bassline sequences.
The sequences are interactively selected from a MIDI keyboard, and sound parameters like CutOff/EnvMod/Decay are changed with faders/joystick/Control Surface.
The Audio Output of the SID which plays the lower octave bassline is feedbacked to the Audio Input for increased resonance and distortion.
You listen to pure and unique SID sound - and it is sequenced live! Only external EQs, compression and delay effects have been added.

MIDIbox SID V2 Bassline Demo #5 from Thorsten Klose on Vimeo.
"MP3 with better audo quality available at midibox.org
Bassline demo played on a MIDIbox SID V2 in a MB-6582 case made by Wilba.
0:03 first bassline starts to play
0:10 selecting different sequences, drums played from a sampler
0:17 "pumping" effect realized by sending the bassdrum to the sidechain of a compressor
0:25 checking the new O23 feature: bassline played unisono
0:33 changing the oscillator phase offset
0:47 detune
1:05 disabling the O23 functions
1:15 second bassline w/ external delay Fx starts to play
1:22 showing the V-meter function in bassline mode
1:47 activating oscillator synch, second oscillator played with constant pitch
2:23 activating ring modulator, played with different pitches
2:55 tweaking cutoff/VCA release/O23 pitch (distortions are SID internal)
5:38 second bassline with detuned oscillators"
Note these are the only three videos on
Thorsten Klose's Vimeo channel at the time this post when up, hence no Demo #1, #2, etc. Be sure to check the channel for more if you find this in the archives.
( Fat Bastard got a nice mention and pic in the new SOS Modular feature too )"
