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 and 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 and does not require any programming. Not with the Mini Sound Board! Connect up to 8 buttons or switches, each one can trigger audio files to play. Headphones, powered speakers or even wire up an amplifiers to make loud sounds when plugged into the stereo line out. You can create five different types of triggers which will cover a large range of projects without any programming. What do we mean by trigger effects? Depending on your project you may need to have audio play in different ways. Triggers include Basic, Hold Looping, Latch loop, Play Next, and Play Random.

The sound board is designed to be simple: it does not have polyphonic ability, can' t play MP3' s (MP3 is patented and 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, and 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.
