Multiple Sounds Channels?

[Specter]

I want to control multiple props at the same time using LOR. Each prop will have it's own sound file and set of speakers associated with it.

How can I use LOR to control the props/lights AND completely different sound files/sound output speakers at the same time?

I'm not aware of a way to directly do this via LOR.

It could be "faked out" by using multiple digital playback devices containing each prop's audio, such that when LOR triggers the prop, the independent audio device gets triggerd as well and outputs audio to the local set of speakers. There's lots of info on this type of setup on the halloween haunt websites (e.g. Scary Terry's)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It might be the best way to go with it all. So what, you think a hacked MP3 player or something- and then have LOR trigger it with a signal or whatever?

You can use multiple Mini Directors (one per prop) - this is how LOR does their booth.

Just a note you also will need a controller per thing - think of each prop as it own LOR network. You could trigger multiple by using one LOR network to trigger the next director.

That would work... Or here's a Halloween-type product family that is basically designed for what you're doing:

Or as Harrison mentioned, you could use mini-directors, but that's quite a bit more cash. But that would have the advantage of consolidating your sequencing and audio in one unit.
