That was my answer.

Still waiting for an answer.

Didn’t read your link before but was obvious what op meant.

What was obvious? That he wanted to have audio files on a device and play them back at the push of a button? Which is exactly what he said?
What is it that you think he said?

 

[Saul Goodman]

That was my answer.

Then using your logic, I'm sure he knows what a sampler is.
I assumed (as it seems you also did, based on a previous reply), that he wanted something like a doorbell or door entry system, that played back pre-recorded messages.
What was it that you think he said?

With several buttons that he could record several things into that could be played at a touch of one of those buttons at will. Was that what you were describing?

That's exactly what I thought he wanted. All of which can easily be achieved with an arduino.

Fair enough if so.

 

[Saul Goodman]

You can even add the recording side of it to the arduino, if necessary.
The only part I'm not 100% sure of is the 'instantaneous' part, as there would be a very small delay between pressing the button and the file starting to play.

I’ll need to check it out. Although not at 11pm.

Here's an example of an Arduino sampler.

And some more stuff.


Actually, I ordered a few of these lately but they haven't arrived yet. They have 32MB of memory (and WiFi, for remote operation), so, it might eliminate the need for an SD card, depending on the number of files and their size.

They're very recent. Teenage engineering only released their first synth in 2010.

The most annoying thing is that I used to have one of these. It came from a sound effect T-shirt that Shippy gave me. 16 buttons and an SD card slot. put 16 .wav files on the card named 1-16 and hit the button. Very cheap and cheerful

I thought of that when I saw this thread.

I still have the t-shirt with the wifi meter built in I got at the same time.

 

[Saul Goodman]

BTW. I think you can use 1023 buttons (play back 1023 files) on the Arduino, if you use resistors of known values. Or, if you prefer not to arse about using resistors to determine which key was pressed, look into I2C (I'd certainly be using I2C for this).
I'm only toying at this Atmega stuff, as I (generally) use PIC chips for most of my projects, but there's far more readily available information for Arduino projects, and a much better support group, should you need it.
ETA: Some people don't realise (or forget) that these Atmega processors are far more powerful than a lot of the processors used in a lot of samplers. And, if you want more, the newer RasPi is an awesome bit of kit.

If you just want a means of speaking without using your voice you can use one of the screenreader functions on your phone - type whatever you want to say in some kind of notepad app eg Google Keep and then have the phone read it aloud. In Android it's in settings under Accessibility > Select to Speak, and then you can activate it when you want it. iPhones I haven't done but some instructions here Hear iPhone speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback

 

[skyscraper101]

Presumably this kind of tech could be used for car alarms too?

 

[xenon]

If you’ve got an iPhone, look for customisable soundboard in the App Store. There are a couple. Tried one, not got it to work but that is because the buttons aren’t labelled very well for using voice-over. It is free though. Sure must be options on android too.

 

[xenon]

Remember that keyring craze in the late 80s early 90s, those things that played machine-gun sounds, bombs. Really surprised there isn’t one of those off the shelf. X amount of buttons that play X first files on flash memory.

I've got this

The audio quality is better IRL

 

[TopCat]

I need it quick too. Am recording the sounds and phrases at the moment. Fuck off, love you, 3-meo-pcp, please, thank you, may I. It's OK.
Any other suggestions? I guess I can 'record loads of stuff and add or change the phrases. Ah not on ROM chips though are they one time recordings?

A proprietary device available on Prime would be best though.

The idea that my phrases would be spoken in a Jim Bowen voice fills me with more horror than my prognosis.

 

[TopCat]

Are you a mind reader? Because he mentioned nothing of the sort in the OP.

Saul Goodman I'm soon going to have "issues" with talking. Might be permanent "issues". should have made it clear

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Any other suggestions?

That would be an ecumenical matter

 

[TopCat]

Ok I will actually read the posts properly and check the links. Thanks all.

 

[TopCat]

This does what you want (I think) and more. It fits in the price range that Crispy says is missing.

The effects the (rather lively) chap demonstrates are not a priority.

 

[TopCat]

Cheap even in the UK

Too big and needs to be ready to go or nearly so.

Got to be my voice.

[TopCat]

I just tried Google. Key words are hard to get right. What results I got were rather alarming and not needed now. Keep going hive mind please.

Dunno if this is any good. They do make good, robust stuff.
