Hello, i've seen a few mentions of the Electrosmith Daisy Seed on the forum but haven't seen anyone mentioning their results. Ive just ordered one and am interested to see if anyone has had any AE related success with theirs?

I've got mine but I'm terrified of nuking it by accidentally putting 5v into it. I've got the Arduino for Musicians book and I'm hoping to upskill on electronics and then hopefully put it to good use

I've got the Arduino for Musicians book and I'm hoping to upskill on electronics and then hopefully put it to good use You can build an I/O interface similar to the hardware that is part of the Patch or the Pod, or something in between like I've done. Once you have input and output buffering you should be ok. ![]()  It has a stereo input (mini jack) and stereo output and I added a DIN midi connector and a 6N135 opto coupler for connectivity. The pots control the input signal and the trim pots the gain of the outputs. The quad op-amp in the TL-74 buffer / amplifiy the analog signals. I'm currently adding an OLED display.

I feel like the theory holds but i'm sure i'm just going to end up breaking the thing immediately |

wow this looks really comprehensive! any more details on input and output buffering? i appreciate it might seem trivial but just very worried about breaking hardware, very much living in the soft play area that is software normally EDIT** soooooooo..... rry, didnt realise the vocoder was the same project, really interesting use case! going to do a thorough read of your proj tomorrow! |

The vocoder isn't the same project. The board in the picture was made to give the Daisy a more stable home while writing software and hooking up signals to it (I was afraid to maybe short things out with stuff lying on my desk so I wanted its contacts to be less exposed.). So this is not the final 'rack' version. It can be used for 'any' purpose, and is meant as a development setup. The buffering is done using a TL074, a quad op-amp. You can have a look at the hardware designs Electro-Smith have put on github. The input and output buffering is shown e.g. in this schematic of PATCHI made a simpler version of this, see attached picture. The pots are not in there, they are 100k pots I used in stead of the 10k feed back resistors in the output op-amps.
