We’ll if anyone can figure that out, it’s you!I just have to figure out a way to squeeze an additional 12 spare hours into each day.....

that sounds fantastic! I think I'll definitely have to pick up a terrarium board soon! good to know about the tap tempo and stereo compatibility. I see no reason an analog dry path (with blend knob) and mechanical bypass couldn't be implemented to free up the sixth pot input for an additional parameter control if necessary too– would be a waste to do in most situations, but I can think of a few things that might be interesting. That gives me some ideas....
The sounds from that are way impressive, but even more impressive is that light show! man, eurorack stuff can be real gorgeous sometimes. I love inlaid light features like that.I mean come on, check this out. (Daisy powered)
Aurora | Spectral Reverb | Eurorack Modular Synth — Qu-Bit Electronix
Reverb. Well...kind of. Welcome to Aurora, a spectral reverb capable of a wide palette of sounds: from lush caverns and whale songs, to alien textures you've never created before. And likely, will invoke a hunger for exploration you felt when you first touched a modular synth. Aurora uses a phasewww.qubitelectronix.com
Think it's a what? a ghost?
I don't think I knew they had a dedicated dev board, or if I did know, I forgot.
Do I want? If you have no use for it I'd certainly love to give it a go. Did you ever get a chance to mess around and make fun sounds with it, or too busy holding contests and programming moon-pie-defacing sleeper agents?

Unfortunately the FV-1 supply shortage put this project on hold...
The six pot inputs are a limit of the Terrarium design only.... The Seed itself has 31 GPIO pins that you can use in any way you choose. Including using shift registers to increase that number to virtually infinite.

Interesting about the GPIO pins- I had looked at the data sheet very briefly and saw that it says pots can be used on any Analog-GPIO/ADC pin, and on the pinout I initially only saw pins 22-28 as ADC pins, which was where I got my 6-pot number from, but I see that 29-32 as well as 35 are ADC pins as well. Not sure what a Peripheral GPIO means in this scenario (pins 2-15), or why the two digital GPIO pins couldn't be used as pot inputs, but that's stuff to learn about as I go along.

The Perpetua started as a single effect (infinite sustainer), but the design evolved into it's own platform similar to the Arachnid / Pythagoras for other momentary-footswitch activated effects (such as pitch dive bombs, through-zero flange like the Zero-point, etc)
The Daisy is the most likely candidate, yes. Like you mentioned, around that time the Daisy was also affected by the shortage, but that's all over now and they're readily available.
This is why I left sourcing the FV-1 IC up to the builder... It's easier for you to buy what you need from whichever vendor is lucky enough to have them than it is for me to try to source enough to supply everyone. I tried to get one last batch for the 5 year anniversary, but alas, the waitlist was still just too long.

Shortage? I found four more behind a plant on the kitchen counter the other day.The Perpetua started as a single effect (infinite sustainer), but the design evolved into it's own platform similar to the Arachnid / Pythagoras for other momentary-footswitch activated effects (such as pitch dive bombs, through-zero flange like the Zero-point, etc)

Hey @PedalPCB and @Bricksnbeatles can you give me a dummy's rundown on the daisy seed/terrarium?

I’m a dummy myself. Only started learning about it thru forum posts and data sheets yesterday.
Have you shared that Daisy program? Great sounds!

I haven't, it's not quite finished. I think that demo was actually running on my Petal before I designed the Terrarium.
Hear that high frequency whine? This was created before we learned how to eliminate that and I haven't had a chance to revisit it.
Every time I listen to it though, it makes me want to get my act into high gear and bring it back to life.
Ever used an Arduino or Teensy? It's similar to that but tailored specifically towards audio projects. You can get a lot more info on their site, but it's basically a little plug-in breadboard capable module powered by an ARM Cortex-M7 MCU (I have computers with less power). The things it can do are just amazing, every time I play with it I'm like a kid in a candy store.
Good to have some "extra" projects in line just in case there is ever any downtime! Congratulations on 5 years with the site. Great milestone for sure.
