Project advice

Hello,

I am making an art installation. All I need is a panel of 32 panel mount buttons, momentary of some kind. The buttons would be connected to an Mp3 trigger of some kind and then play a particular sound individual to that button when pressed. I understand that the Mp3 trigger you have could do this.

What additional products do I need to connect 16 of the 32 buttons to one Mp3 trigger? Do I need pins of some sort for the trigger areas?? Do I need particular wires that connect from the button to the triggers/triggerpins… Also does the MP3 trigger automatically turn off after a time, as I would want to prevent that.?

Is the Mp3 trigger the right choice ? As I would need to purchase two of them to get 32 buttons to play 32 separate tracks, correct?

Let me know what you think. I know its a simple project, just need to know what I need to do it, and maybe be pointed at some helpful tutorials. Some of the tutorials you have are not simple enough for me at the moment.

Thank you so much for your time and helping me make dedicated work for Covid19 health workers.
