Experimenting with sound: record interactively and playback programmatically

Community Projects

Hi,

I’m working on a project with the following functionalities:

  • Record few customized messages at a trigger effect, for example press and hold a button to start recording an additional message. Sounds are supposed to be saved to playback later

  • The allowed number of messages and their duration should be predefined programmatically, through setting constants in a program

  • Record specific messages to use as predefined messages

  • Play sounds back at a trigger effect in a customized way (e.g. in random order, over a loop, with customized time between each)

    • A simple voice recording/playback example is found in a recordable greeting card, but I need the customized behavior I described above.

    I’m wondering what do I need in order to experiment with the ideas above. What I’m thinking about are a VS1063 Codec, Electret Microphone, a simple speaker and a microcontroller to orchestrate. Can you help make a list of all I need to make this project. Where can I find simple examples that experiment with such ideas?

    Thanks
