Very Computer

I picture a robot taking off at the start with the bugle call of
CHAAAAAAARGE!
Or playing the first few bars of the Halleluja Chorus at the finish
line.
Or TA-DAH! when it finds the goal object

Or.....

What's out there for clever, appropriate sound effects?

The ISD sound recording chips fit this bill.  Go see www.isd.com. Their
parts are available from Digikey and many others, are reasonably priced,
and relatively easy to connect to switches, microcontroller ports, SPI
busses, etc.

Interactive C and Rugwarrior Pro come with tunes.c which has a few songs
you can play to a piezo buzzer.

I have added Hava Nagila at

I too am looking for sounds.  I want a police warble, cat call, etc. and
asked this NG but no answers.  We'll have to forge some new ground I
guess.

Before you buy.

Hi guys,

One thing you might try is the AY-3-8910 (Jameco carries it). It is actually a Yamaha chip that is identical to the old
GI (AY-3-8910). It allows you to produce most any sound (from sine, square, and sawtooth) and allows you to control ADSR
for the sounds. I haven't tried it yet, but I am looking at it. The only real problem is the lack of documentation and
the fact that includes two general purpose I/O ports on it that just add to the pin count and don't really do anything
for what we are looking at. It's a 40 pin chip.. so it is kinda large.

Good luck,
Russ

This chip doesn't go easy on the I/O lines, though.  It's made for PC
and game console-type architectures (I'm pretty sure it was used in the
Amiga, and several Atari machines, for example). It generally requires
the use of a data and an address busm which is fine for an 8 or 16-bit
uP system, but stretches a microcontroller-based system.

The sound quality is excellent, though. I have several of these,
purchased when Radio Shack sold GI's surplus product.

When you got your circuit up and working then
try this http://www.stoutman.com/wavs/index.html
I had a lot of fun listening to his impressive collection of waves.
