How does the MP3 trigger work?

The MP3 Trigger board is built to make it MP3 sound integration easier than ever. The board has 18 external trigger pins that will directly trigger pre-selected MP3 tracks, and a full-duplex serial control port that provides full transport control, remote triggering for up to 256 tracks, and fast real-time volume control.

What is a trigger finger in music production?

M-Audio Trigger Finger. Its main attribute is a four-by-four matrix of finger-sized, velocity sensitive pads — similar to the arrangement you’d find on Akai’s MPC range of sampling rhythm workstations. But the Trigger Finger goes much further than just being a set of disembodied drum machine pads.

What would you like to see added to the trigger finger?

Probably the only feature I’d like to see added is the ability to create layered sounds by being able to assign more than one note number to a pad, and then setting up a velocity crossfade between the sounds. But as it stands, the Trigger Finger would prove a versatile addition to any MIDI studio.

How many external trigger pins are there on an MP3 player?

The board has 18 external trigger pins that will directly trigger pre-selected MP3 tracks, and a full-duplex serial control port that provides full transport control, remote triggering for up to 256 tracks, and fast real-time volume control. MP3s are stored on FAT16 formatted SDSC or FAT32 formatted SDHC micro-SD flash memory cards.

How many sounds can be played from a single trigger?

It can be set to play any number of sounds from up to 8 triggers, loop sounds on power-up, interrupt those to play an emergency message triggered by an actor or sensor, the list goes on. Try doing that with an iPod or CD player!

How many kbps does the MP3 trigger support?

In addition, optimized code can achieve 192Kbps stereo playback from a wider range of cards. The heart of the MP3 Trigger board is the Cypress PSoC CY8C29466-24SXI microcontroller which serves up MP3 data to a VLSI VS1063 audio codec IC.
