A small synthesizer/effect/whatever utilizing the [Daisy Seed DSP Board by Electrosmith](https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy/daisy). The Daisy-Seed is essentially a high powered Arduino with two audio inputs and two audio outputs, inputs for up to 12 knobs or faders and a ton of memory.
- 1.3" OLED Display (black and white) with 128×64 pixels
- 8 Knobs (7 can be used in code, 1 is for input volume)
- 6 Buttons (Cherry MX with nice keycaps)
- 2 TS Input Jacks (up to +62 dB gain, works for electrical guitar, dynamic microphones and sound interfaces)
- 2 TS Output Jacks
- RGB-LED for display of audio input levels (color/brightness can be controlled from code)
- DIN-MIDI in (opto-isolated)
- Powered via USB or via external input (7 to 17 VDC)
Soldering instuctions [can be found here](solder_instructions.md)
## Software
The Daisy Seed is a microcontroller with audio capabilities. This means it can become many different things depending on the code uploaded. The Daisy Seed can be programmed using multiple toolchains[^1] – in the course we will hover mainly use the Arduino IDE which can be downloaded on [arduino.cc](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). After setting up the toolchain (see [here](https://github.com/electro-smith/DaisyWiki/wiki/1a.-Getting-Started-(Arduino-Edition)) for instructions), the code can be uploaded using the Arduino IDE and a USB-cable.
