Built this little bench-top PCB to prototype some effects on the Daisy. Very similar to the Terrarium in a lot of ways, input/output buffers for guitar, tip negative 9v power input etc. Only real mistake I made on the board was forgetting that a TL074 is DIP14 not DIP16 so had to do a little half-deadbug retrofitting. Added some headers on the left side to be able to access the DACs from the Daisy, they connect to onboard LEDs with a pair of jumpers.
The multi-color knob interface is beautiful to look at and it’s also useful too!! I feel like it’ll make the process of figuring out what’s mapped to which knob way quicker. This project made me realize that color-coded UI should be done more in music tech.
Yeah, probably should have just broken out all of the IO possible (MIDI included) while I was at it… maybe for a V2.
Thanks Takumi, yeah I realized when I was programming stuff for the Pod how quickly I would lose track of which control I was assigning to which parameter, and that was only two knobs and two buttons!
