Tsunami super wav trigger auto play on power up

Sensors Sound & Audio

Hi,

Love the Tsunami and i’m now trying to make it play random files on power up.

I found this info on the Robertsonics blog:

“Assuming you want the audio to play automatically on power up, without waiting for a trigger, you can set a Trigger to be type “Level” and then check the “Invert” option. If the function is set to “Random”, then what should happen is that on power up, with nothing connected to that trigger, random tracks should play continuously until the power is shut off. Similar, if the function is “Next”, tracks should play in order continuously until the power is shut off.”

It works fine with “next” function but not with “random”, it just sits there silent!

Works (next):

#TSUS

#TRIG 01, 9, 0, 0, 2, 1, 4

#TRIG 03, 0, 0, 0, 9, ,

#TRIG 04, 0, 0, 0, 8, ,

Does not work (random):

#TSUS

#TRIG 01, 9, 0, 0, 4, 1, 4

#TRIG 03, 0, 0, 0, 9, ,

#TRIG 04, 0, 0, 0, 8, ,

I’m on the latest firmware.

I have tried all the combinations that I can think of so far!

Hmmm, that should work…perhaps try reverting back to an earlier firmware/INIT-maker and see if that changes anything?

The best way to do this would be to use the production release firmware (v1.00) and then jumper one of the triggers closed.

I’d suggest picking a trigger input you’re not using and jumper that closed and then assigning that trigger the random function.

For example, I’ve jumpered trigger 16 closed and put this in my INI file:

#TRIG 16, 208, 0, 0, 4, 1, 16

With trigger 16 jumpered to ground, the Tsunami will randomly play a track between 1 and 16 whenever the Tsunami is powered on but ONLY plays random tracks at power on.

Thank you for the quick answer, I will try this and report back!

Hi,

It worked like you said, for one track , with the latest firmware!

Is there a similar solution to make it continue to play random tracks after the first one has finished? I would like it to select from a large number of files to do a random playlist of sounds for an art installation.
