Audio FX Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger With 2MB Flash

Product Description

• No Arduino or other microcontroller required! It is completely st&-alone, just needs a 3 to 5.5VDC battery• Small
- only 1.9" x 0.85"• Built in storage
- yep! you don't even need an SD card, there's 2MB of storage on the board itself. Good for a few minutes of compressed stereo, & maybe half a minute of uncompressed stereo. Double that if you go with mono instead of stereo.• Built in Mass Storage USB (Universal Serial Bus)
- Plug any micro USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable into the Sound Board & your Windows computer, you can drag & drop your files right on as if it were a USB (Universal Serial Bus) key• Compressed or Uncompressed audio
- Go with compressed Ogg Vorbis files for longer audio files, or uncompressed WAV files• High Quality Sound
- You want 44.1 K Hz 16 bit stereo? Not a problem! The decoding hardware can handle any bit/sample rate & mono or stereo•11 Triggers
- Connect up to 11 buttons or switches, each one can trigger audio files to play• Stereo line out
- Headphones, powered speakers or even wire up one of our amplifiers to make loud sounds.• Five different trigger effects
- by changing the name of the files, you can create five different types of triggers which will cover a large range of projects without any programming Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+ Shield? Or maybe you don't even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play whenever you press a button. What about something that has to be small & portable? You are probably feeling a little frustrated: it's been very hard to find a simple, low cost audio effects trigger that is easy to use & does not require any programming UNTIL NOW! Don't get me wrong, I love the MP3 Music Maker shield, & our Wave Shield is a dependable classic. But you still need to get an Arduino involved. There's all sorts of tricks with ISD chips or recordable greeting cards, but they never sound any good. So after a lot of engineering & tinkering we've come out with the Adafruit Sound Board, the quickest way to add audio effects to a project! We think this is the best sound board for props & costumes! What do we mean by trigger effects? Well, depending on your project you may need to have audio play in different ways. We thought of the five most common needs & built it into the Sound Board so you just rename the file to get the effect you want• Basic Trigger
- name the file Tnn.WAV or Tnn.OGG to have the audio file play when the matching trigger pin nn is connected to ground momentarily• Hold Looping Trigger
- name the file Tnn HOLDL.WAV or. OGG to have the audio play only when the trigger pin is held low, it will loop until the pin is released• Latching Loop Trigger
- name the file Tnn LATCH.WAV or. OGG to have the audio start playing when the button is pressed momentarily, & repeats until the button is pressed again• Play Next Trigger
- have up to 10 files play one after the other by naming them Tnn NEXT0.WAV thru Tnn NEXT9.OGG. Will start with 0 & each one on every momentary button press until it gets through all of them, then go back to 0• Play Random Trigger
- just like the Play Next trigger, but will play up to 10 files in random order (Tnn RAND0.OGG thru Tnn RAND9.OGG) every time the button is pressed momentarily The sound board is designed to be simple: it does not have polyphonic ability, can't play MP3's (MP3 is patented & costs $ to license, so this board uses the similar but not-patented OGG format, there's tons of free converters that will turn an MP3 into OGG), isn't reprogrammable or scriptable, & you can't have any other kind of trigger type. However, there's a good chance the project you want to make will work great. We designed this board specifically for people who wanted to make props, costumes, toys, & other small portable projects. Check out the tutorial for all the powering options, you can power from 3-5VDC so a 3x AAA battery pack or a Li Poly battery will work well. You can even use our Li Poly backpack to fit on top for an all-in-one rechargeable effects board
