Just got around to testing it with Dreamblaster X2, it is very quiet compared to my Roland cards. It is set to the high volume setting. Any ideas? I don’t have another wavetable or external midi to try at the moment.

^ the card does nothing to the volume output of the daughterboards - unless you use the jumpers to limit it. So in the "high" setting you get a straight connection from the daughterboard's output. Do a test with the X2's onboard stereo jack: it will be the same.

A sidenote: there is some weirdness on the 'line out" output level, it used to be higher but the standard changed and now devices use a lower setting , it's an issue for example when you record directly from an old pc using a modern sound card - at least with the combos I tried over the years....

X2 plays with low volume, comparing to S2 and DB50XG. I only have these 3 here. This is not a defect from either boards. It's just the way they are.

X2 is a more quiet as it has high polyphony (81 voices) : avoid clipping even if all instruments play at once.
using the preset utility, you can change the gain if you like

@keropi,
Could you help me with Amibay account activation? I have same ID as here.

Thank you!

Fantastic work on the card, gents! I love It! Wish I'd bought 2 of them...

@Xeen
it's done 😀

@eviljoeclark
contact Marmes 😉 or if you bought from me send me an email to forward your request

Hello there, I am new to this forum, and may be interested in purchasing one of your cards. But I dont know if I really want to post my information in that spreadsheet.

How much do the cards cost? And can you reach out to me with a PM on this forum? Since I just registered a new account, I am not sure if I can PM you or not. And I saw there were only 9 cards left.

Do you accept Paypal as payment for your cards?

Last one from me, I sent email to one user from google docs list.
After that no more from me.
Thank you all for your trust and patience.
I will get back to you soon!

Edit:

All sold!

Has anyone heard from Marmes recently? I sent couple emails to him for checking my order status since last week, but no response yet.

Man, i'm here , i have to do stuff on my job, i Will send tracking Numbers tonight.

Hey it’s good to hear from you again. 😘

Sorry I don’t mean to rush you, just looking for some updates. 🤣

I have too many emails now 🙁. My job keeps me also a bit busy. I had to take 3 days just to send all.
If anyone is interested, please send me an email so I can give the tracking number. I sent packages in 2 parts, 15 at once, so I have a list with paypal names of people that paid for cards.
Thank you for understanding 😀

Kind Regards to all !

Much appreciate that you take time after work to do this!

Sorry, I am very late to this thread, but is there maybe a summary of how to get hold of one of the cards? I.e.:

* How much does the fully assembled card cost?
* Are Kits, bare PCBs (+BOM) or PCB schematics available?

I did find the Google sheet for ordering. Are the information in there up to date? It says there will be a new batch in 1 month -- but 1 month from when?

Keep up the good work!!

^ check out Phil's review: https://youtu.be/ymQJvwOTM0E it has all the info
there are no kits or schematics available for now and atm the google sheet is the only way to get on the list... maybe there are amibay sales threads like the previous version mpus, maybe a fb group or maybe a simple store page but no work is done in that front as of now.
I would say that 1 month for now is a good guess before more cards appear 😀

I did receive my card too. Did not have the time yet to test it but looks really good! Thanks!

I got mine in the other week and have tested it out a little with my SB Pro 2 and it works beautifully, nice work! Only thing to note is that the bracket doesn't quite line up with the screw hole, but that is indeed a minor thing. I can wedge the screw in to keep it steady nonetheless, not like I can see it all the time in the case anyway. Now if I can find an SB16 that lets me disable its own MIDI port, that would be awesome, as my CT2940 conflicts with this card.

Always nice yo hear another satisfied user 😀
The CT2230 is a nice SB16 model, allows midi port to be disabled, use port 300 or 330. Disabling/300 works great for this purpose.
Can you take a picture about the bracket issue? There is some working space to adjust it on purpose but maybe we can improve the design more.

Yeah this is what it looks like. Top is MPU, bottom is SB Pro 2.

You can see it doesn't quite line up. I've already tried forcing it a bit more since it was completely off when I got it, but at least now I can wedge the screw in there to keep the card from moving around, the screw just kinda goes in there diagonally.
