DIY Eurorack Synth Stuff

MB-6582

This kit is a full fledged synthesizer based on the famous Commodore64 SID chip, the MOS 6581 (and MOS 6582/8580), designed around the MIDIBox MIOS system. A couple of years ago I bought a set of PCB’s and faceplates for this kit and last summer (2020) I decided it was time to build it. In the meanwhile I collected all the SID chips, which are quite hard to come be nowadays. Again, I had a lot of fun building this one, although it was somewhat hard to find all components. I’ve equipped it with the full 8 SID Chips (4 x 8580 & 4 x 6581) & went with a classic Green & Black color scheme.
