Tsunami wav player : issue with 5.1 configuration

Sensors Sound & Audio

Hi there,

Here’s my issue :

I’m trying to implement a 5.1 looping player with a Tsunami board.

I’ve two triggers (play/stop) and 6 audio outs (RCA). I want the board to play all my 6 samples when I trigger a button and make it looped. I want it then to stop all my tracks when I trigger the second button.

Unfortunately when I trigger the play button, my tracks are strangely routed to the outputs (the file 1 is not outed on the first out etc.) and the 2nd and 3rd tracks are not played at all, plus 2 outs keep silent.

I’ve tested my wirings and that’s not the issue since I managed to get sound from it with other ini files.

I’ve tried to replace the problematic files with ones which are played with no issue and it has changed nothing.

I’ve noticed that when I change my ini file to “Track range : 1-8” and “Mono Output: 8” (instead of 1-6 and 6), I get back the 2nd track played, the first one is still missing (still with wrong routing, which is not that annoying)

Here’s my ini file :

#TSUM

#TRIG 01, 112, 0, 5, 14, 1, 6

#TRIG 02, 0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 6

Here’s the mono firmware I use :

Tsunami_20180325_v108m.zip

Here’s how I’ve named tracks :

“1_.wav”

Any suggestion ?

I hope someone can help me !

I see two things that are possibly wrong in your setup:

First, for the “Synced Set” trigger function, the “Mono Output” is the output you want the first track in the range to appear on, and the remaining tracks will appear on subsequent outputs. So if you want tracks 1 to 6 to be on outputs 1 to 6, “Mono Output” should be 1.

Second, although it may not be an issue, your track names should really start with a 3 or 4 digit number, including leading 0’s. “0001_.wav”, “0002_.wav”, etc

Hope this helps.

Also, you probably already know this, but in order for your 5.1 tracks to remain in sync after the first loop, the files must be EXACTLY the same length, i.e. contain exactly the same number of samples.

Hello Jamie,

Thanks a lot, this works now !

I had not understood the way “Mono output” works (though I’m actually not sure to have a greater understanding of it now…)

Thanks again !
