Usually when I set out to make a new guitar effect "thing", I develop it in a vacuum until I think it's ready, and then I'll share the finished product. This time, I thought it would be fun to document the development process, and bounce ideas off the community.
These are the current...
Oh no! So what I’ve been doing, and this is not a perfect solution, but I rip out the U2 capacitor and carefully clean out the solder holes if you can, and put some wires in there, connect that to a little board that has the replacement U2 cap, and the low pass filter containing the extra cap...
I’m working on a new stereo Daisy Seed based pcb, through hole, mainly to have a convenient platform for my own DSP development. I’m including some things for noise reduction, so I’ll share my results on the forum and maybe give some confidence either way on how to proceed on a new daisy seed...
Thanks for sharing the info, yeah it’s very strange, some people get it and some don’t. For sure let us know if the filter works for you! I’ve posted on the Electrosmith forums and discord but haven’t heard an official response from them on what’s going on, just relying on user data.
You don’t need to power the terrarium for your computer to recognize the daisy seed, just the usb to the daisy seed. Does your daisy seed light up when you plug it in?
Electrosmith has a forum and a discord that might be able to assist as well.
I’m assuming you followed the Zadig steps listed...
Interesting! Thats why I want more data, and you’re using a per build docs Terrarium? Using a TL072 output buffer
To clarify, if I connect directly to the Daisy Seed audio output pin (line level) it sounds fine, no noise. It's only when I use it with the Terrarium's output buffer circuit. The...
Do you have electrical tape or something to keep the lower 3 pots from shorting out the pcb on the backside?
I’ve had two daisys mysteriously die on me fairly recently, probably user error, but never figured out what happened.
@kylewetton can you share some pictures of your pedal? I’ve fried a daisy seed by accident before with similar results, I think in my case it was actually static discharge that did it. There were little bubbles on the ICs on the daisy seed, that eventually gave off a little smoke.
Also what...
This fixed it, low pass filter right after the audio output of the daisy seed. Used 3.3k resistor and 2.2nF cap for a 22kHz low pass, as shown in the diagram.
@Robert I recommend (after verifying with your own test) a revision to the Terrarium to include this LP filter for use with the Daisy...
Hardware, I believe they had to use a different audio codec because the old one became unavailable. I got a tip to try adding a low pass filter to the output of the daisy seed, prior to the output buffer, so I’ll see if that helps and report back.
Hey all, I was curious if anyone has built a Terrarium recently with the latest Daisy Seed v1.2 rev 7, I am getting horrible noise with it. I used a previous version of the Daisy Seed with the same Terrarium and it worked fine.
Here is an electrosmith forum tracking the issue, along with sound...
Good questions! I measured the latency on the Seed at one point, I think it was around 3ms.
To run NAM on the Daisy Seed (or H7 microcontroller device) it would take some doing, and likely the standard models would be much too slow on it. I tried adapting the NAM code for Daisy to see what...
