 <note warning>
 **Required breakout rework:** The Adafruit 3006 breakout (and clones) includes a 1 MΩ SMD pull-up between ''SD_MODE'' and the chip's V_DD (5 V). This must be **desoldered from each breakout before installation** — otherwise the GPIO LOW state would fight the pull-up and shutdown never engages. Once removed, only the chip's internal 100 kΩ pull-down remains.
-**Do NOT bridge any breakout channel-selection solder jumpers** (''L'', ''R'', ''Mono''). If bridged, they hard-tie ''SD_MODE'' to the chip's 5 V VDD, and driving the GPIO LOW would short 5 V to GND through the 3.3 V GPIO pin and damage the Teensy.

   * **Reset defaults test.** Settings → Reset → Reset. Confirm voice count = 8, concert pitch = 440 Hz, scale = Chromatic, all effects off, sine waveform selected. Confirm BPM / metronome / metronome volume are **NOT** reset (the looper EEPROM blob is intentionally preserved).

   * Hardware bring-up problem-solving — the jack-detect issue with the AC-coupled UDA1334A outputs was a real "oh no, the board doesn't work" moment that turned into a clean 10 kΩ-per-jack fix once I traced it.
-If I were to do it again, I'd probably move the metronome's audio path into a dedicated I2S channel rather than ''master.port1'' so the click is even more obviously separated from the looper record bus. And I'd add a real Concert-Pitch fine-tuner (cents) on top of the existing 1 Hz step. But for a one-semester project I'm pretty happy with where it landed.
+If I were to do it again, I’d do better PCB routing, use discrete components instead of daughter boards, go with SMD instead of THT, make the PCB easy to install in a 3D printed enclosure, design an enclosure, add velocity sensitive keys, add better power management, use SDIO instead of SPI for SD card communication, find a way to record longer loops, maybe using a different type of memory. I'd also probably move the metronome's audio path into a dedicated I2S channel rather than ''master.port1'' so the click is even more obviously separated from the looper record bus.
