hallo list,

i know this is not a special pd question but i think there are some points which touch pd. i ask this question here cause i think maybe here are some people which are familiar with this.

i am planing to do something like an art sound installation. many different speakers should be placed in a room, and every speaker should do a different sound.

now i need a cheap possibility to get as many audio units as possible.

i am thinking about two ways of realizing that stuff.

first version of my project works with autark/isolated sound. so for example, every sound objekt in the instalation has an audioplayer and a speaker. how would you trigger the sound in this case? or would it be just random?

the second version is that all speakers are connected to a computer, so i need many outputs at the sound card, and only many speakers. in this version the speakers could for example interact, or do other serialized actions, managed by puredate.

i dont have so much money. what do you think is the cheapest way to realize what i want to do.

the sound doesnt have to be verry good and mono is enough.

a friend of mine owns a little key hanger, on which you can press to get some funny spoken words of a german singer artist. i think it was very cheap. maybe an advanced version of this would be enough for my needs.

have a nice day

best regards robert grah
