Hi all
I'm looking for a simple/cheap device which I'm sure must exist ... it would accept a series of audio files (via a pendrive or maybe SD card) and have a series of buttons on the front, with a small built-in amplifier & loudspeaker.

When the user presses button '1', file '1.wav' or '1.mp3' would play
When the user presses button '2', file '2.wav' or '2.mp3' would play
etc.

This is just for home 'novelty' use, no great quality needed. I've seen joke sound effects generators similar to this, but nothing which could be reprogrammed. Any pointers?

Cheers

Not quite what you want, but this (below) does allow you to put a
micro-SD card in and has a next-previous button.

Soundboard app on a mobile phone, or tablet? Surely there must be one
out there that allows the fart sounds to be replaced with your own?

Hi Andy

Soundboard app on a mobile phone, or tablet?


Hmm, a tablet app might be the way to go ... perhaps I can use it as an excuse to write My First Android App

Surely there must be one
out there that allows the fart sounds to be replaced with your own?

You'd think ... this is the closest I have found so far:

but I was hoping for something a bit cheaper & nastier, pre-packaged ;-)

Do you have a smart phone? Look in the app stores for "sound board".

Modules that can be programmed with MP3s and then play back at the push of
a button are plentiful and cheap. They are used in toys and sold in hobby
shops and on line.

Something like this:

Just use one for each sound, they are cheap enough.

Hi Dave - that looks like exactly the thing, thanks a lot. There are a few example projects for me to have a try ad developing my own Android App as mentioned above. Excellent ;-)

Have a look at http://www.voicemodul.de/. I think they have what you want,
provided 5 buttons will do you. There's one further down offering programmable
buttons...

They have others with more sounds -- the site is in German but the data sheets
("Datenblatt") are in English (as provided by the Chinese suppliers).
