We've got our TOS E, with lights....what about....

[Refit1701]

....the sounds?

Anyone tried making a sound system to mount in the plexi case so we can hear the normal cruising ship noises?

I'd like a control panel with:

Warp engine acceleration
bridge sounds
red alert
phasers firing
photo torpedoes
and ??

Anyone given this some thought? I know the new Art Asyum TOS E has sound effects, perhaps the electronics could be modified.

I've been thinking of the same thing but not so many overlaying sounds.
How about having the sounds sync with the lighting effects or having the lighting effects trigger the sounds.
Either way, very cool idea and I'ld be very interested as well to see some thoughts on this.

I had even thought of just playing the bridge sound effects at a low level. Your idea sounds good indeed.

I've been thinking of gutting my old Playmates ship and cramming the electronics into a little box with the buttons poking out to keep near the MR.

I thought of using an existing toy for sounds too. But certainly we can do better. There are sounds bytes on the web of the proper type for what we want to do. Does anyone know how to program a eprom with the sounds and a way to play them in a loop or what have you on demand?

I know there are some electronic techs out there somewhere.
