Switch Mixer Lite

Barrie over at One Switch has posted a great new activity called Switch Mixer Lite that plays wav sound effects randomly in a preset order or play the same sound repeatedly by pressing a switch (set your interface to "1").

This could be used as a cause and effect or in any or the following ways:
  • convert songs to wavs (use mediaconverter.org or similar site) and use as a music player
  • do the same with clips of audio books
  • record a spelling list, math quiz or similar with each question as a single wav file and have the switch user administer the test to peers
  • record commands for a game like red light/green light
  • play sound effects for a haunted house or similar event
  • play wavs of jokes
  • record the numbers one through six or the colors, set to random and use as an audio dice or spinner
  • record favorite quotes from a movie or book and play name the character
  • record the opening line or two from songs and play name that tune
Here are places you can get wav files

    If any one had downloaded the Switch Mixer Lite - there's a new version with some added functionality. You can now choose to have samples played neatly one after the other rather than the (fun) multi-layered cacaphony you can get otherwise.
