The Core Module can be equipped with following microcontrollers:

• PIC18F452 I/P - used for most applications
• PIC18F4620 required for MIDIbox SEQ V3, possible future default
• PIC18F4685 required for MIDIbox SID V2 due to the CAN peripheral

There are different possibilities to have multiple Cores.

• MIDIbox Link ^uCApps Linking multiple Cores via MIDI (a special configured MIDI forwarding pipe)
• MBNet ^uCApps //The new MIDIbox Network utilizing the CAN (Controller Area Network) Interface on the brandnew PIC18F4685 microcontrollers
