So lets have some fun and test some of our new add-ons

First up is the Sparkfun Trigger board. Im using a newer different one over the older common MP3 version.   This new version also has software that gives you more control over each track and trigger.

Such as track looping, locking a track to prevent it from changing, independent volume control, random playback, and I you can assign more than 1 track per trigger for additional tracks of random playback.

The older ones had some limitations the big one being only 1 track playback at a time.  So if your using those you will likely need 2 of them one for Sound effects and a 2nd one for music plus an audio mixer.  Then still run the risk of having tracks “cut-off” by sub-sequential tracks.  This new one uses wav files and can trigger up to 8 tracks  at the same time! Or 12 if you do the firmware updates   Id also suspect those trigger numbers to increase over time as did the original Mp3 trig board.

This LED controller may change to something more custom but for testing purposes it should do the trick

Next up adding lights Ill have at least 2 light additions here that I didn’t want to interfere with original lighting matrix setups so I’ll be adding starpost lights to the playfield as well as a stage lights to the backbox.
