I ordered the WAV Trigger and have had it arrive recently. I tried setting it up, but I found it extremely confusing.

From what I understand, I need to download the JUCE library for VisualBasic and use that to run the provided WAV Trigger init setup file to get going.
However, I have 0 idea on how to get visual basic and install it, much less using JUCE libraries to setup the setup. I've tried googling for VisualBasic, but I can't find any help. I need some guidance on how to start using the WAV Trigger.

Besides setting it up, I was wondering how I would use another arduino to control the WAV Trigger. I saw that the Trigger has 16 default "buttons," but if you connect an arduino you can activate 2048 tracks through code.

I'd really like to use the WAV Trigger for a bunch of projects, but I can't figure out the basics.

Not sure where you got the idea you had to do all that stuff. Just go to the WAV Trigger download page, get the Init Maker app for your platform (Mac or Windows) and run it.

Here's a tutorial on using an Arduino to control the WAV Trigger. The article includes links to the WAV Trigger Arduino Library which in turn contains example sketches.

Also, SparkFun has a very helpful "hook-up guide" for the WAV Trigger. A link to it is right on the product page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the links! I think I ended up downloading source code for the .init file maker or something like that. Anyways, this is very helpful information, thanks again for your time
