Wav Trigger – Fades & Crossfades without arduino/serial connection

Sensors Sound & Audio

Is it possible to use the fade in, fade out, and crossfade feature WITHOUT using an arduino or the serial connection?

I’m looking to do something similar to this:

Trigger #1 = cues a track

Trigger #2 = cues a different track (crossfading from track #1 if currently playing)

Trigger #3 = stops all track (but fades out)

Thanks!

Hi Isaac,

Unfortunately, I do not think you will be able to use the fade track function using just trigger inputs. There is no option using the InitMaker utility for setting a trigger’s behavior to fade a track, you can only do that using the “TRACK_FADE” command. Robertsonics’ [WAV Trigger User Guide has a full rundown on both the serial control protocol and all the trigger options.

The only idea that comes to mind to use that with an external//physical input would be to tie a button to another microcontroller and have that send the serial command to the WAV Trigger. It’s a bit convoluted but might help you find a solution here.](http://robertsonics.com/wav-trigger-online-user-guide/)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Makes sense… I guess my project would probably be better with incorporating a micro controller anyway…

Thanks!
