great explanation! i'm just getting started with programming but have built lots of pedals, had looked at the terrarium schematics and wondered how the bypass worked so this cleared it up.

[@ImSamKnight]

Glad it helped!

[@rickysheaves2738]

Sorry for the necro-comment. The way the Terrarium is designed, the Daisy is in the audio path at all times. That's why Sam shows how to do the bypass in code. One could, however, wire a conventional true-bypass scheme up if willing to sacrifice one of the momentary foot switches on the Terrarium, or use a larger enclosure to make room for another foot switch.

I just bought a Daisey. I found your video to be very helpful, and insightful as to the potential of this board. Thank you!

[@suop1234]

this is exactly, what i needed, thank you so much! everything else was just using homemade cases with foam board or similar and i just knew i'd break it... but i didn't know where to start -- now i do!

[@ImSamKnight]

Glad it helped!

[@LubkoReminetskyy]

Thank you very much - this is extremely useful for beginners. Looking forward to your other daisy-based projects.

[@sound.workshop]

Awesome work and well done video! I love how you start making sound right away and use a real mic for your voice

[@ImSamKnight]

Thank you so much!

[@echodelta9]

I had to turn everything else off in the room just to hear something. Your audio level peaks at minus 12dB, average voice level is much less. Normalize your audio first.

[@ImSamKnight]

@@echodelta9 Strange, when I compare it to other videos, it sounds the same volume! Think that's on your end, might wanna check out whatever listening device you're using

[@nich2454]

Great!! thanks for share it. looking forward to try it

[@256k_]

brother, that was such a perfect presentation with exactly al lthe details one needs and zero fluff! fantastic job! thanks a lot

[@jordon7999]

Unreal video. Thanks man. V inspired to make one of these myself!

[@d3nt391]

Hey, just built and did a quick test of the Terrarium PCB. Thanks for this great walk through! I noticed that the Seed rev. 5 is significantly less noisy than the Seed rev. 7. Just wondering if you've experienced this and if so how you've solved it? I've read on forums that people experiencing the same things are trying RC filters

[@liagh6514]

I am just starting out with my first diy pedal using the daisy seed and terrarium PCB as well and this is a lifesaver, thank you so much ! I have a question about the enclosure though, as I am in Europe and cannot order from tayda electronics, I am struggling to find an alternative 125B enclosure with the same dimensions. Most of the ones I found are 35mm in height. Would that be too shallow ?

[@ImSamKnight]

I've heard people say the Hammond 1590N enclosure is basically the same as 125B and is available in Europe!

[@clifgordon]

Really cool video, thanks for sharing! I'm going to order some parts and get playing with this 😄

[@videosforthegoodlife2253]

Top Top Top Top quality video. I feel like that should be all in caps. Well done, Sam. Not sure what you could do to improve it. Maybe talk like George Clooney. As Batman.

[@eiliannoyes5212]

Albeit a tad skippy, really nice and down-to-earth intro to the topic - thanks! Perhaps you could shed some light - with the top sampling rate, how much DSP-ing that STM32 can really handle? How to evaluate that, huh?

[@MrRefractions]

Great tutorial. Only just got into the daisyseed - was previously using the spin fv-1. Trying to get my head around the coding. In the bypass function - how would you get one of the led`s to turn on and off? Many thanks in advance, and more tutorials like this please :)

[@ImSamKnight]

If you checkout the TerrariumMultiEffect code in the github linked in the description, you can find an example that changes the LED! May be hard to sift through, but search for "led1" and you will find the answer :) lmk if you need more help

[@gwenu8982]

I follow your TikTok, didn't know you were on youtube until I started researching this microcontroller lol

[@dmarman]

Thanks for the video! Where did you got those black knobs? They look so cool

[@ImSamKnight]

Thanks for watching! I got them on Tayda Electronics right here www.taydaelectronics.com/aluminum-d-shaft-knob-3010-black-6-x-18t.html

[@Typical.Anomaly]

Is it possible to put impulse responses on these? That could put Kemper and even ToneX out of business...

[@nectarinegirl]

u r the coolest ever.

[@majordabalert]

Sweet

[@chichili5ways]

I’ve been doing tons of research. Is there any reason why the daisy is preferred over the pico?

[@ImSamKnight]

Daisy is just dedicated for audio so much easier to immediately setup and get the ball rolling.

[@eti313]

Excellent video, but I can't read any of this on my phone or 13" laptop.

[@d3nt391]

What size DC jack? This hole is too small for the 2.1mm DC jack enclosed frame with switch

[@ImSamKnight]

What makes you think it doesn't fit? A 2.1mm jack was used in this video and every Terrarium build I've done with the same drill schematic. Works great for me!

[@d3nt391]

​@@ImSamKnightthe exact taydea sku number is A-2237. It has a 12mm shaft- It just doesn't fit. Do you have any reference for the jack you used?

[@ImSamKnight]

@@d3nt391 I used A-991 but it has the exact same dimensions so there should be no difference. Don't forget that they are both panel mounts, so you need to put it in through the outside of the casing. I typically solder on the wires to the jack before hand and then put them in

[@d3nt391]

@@ImSamKnight thank you for the clarification! According to the data sheets this one has a smaller shaft which makes sense

[@ImSamKnight]

@@d3nt391 ahhh sorry yes I see now!! Glad to help, good luck with the build!
