Sound Board project with switch activation

[DanDufaur]

Hi All,

Would anyone be able to help a Noob on a sound board project. I am looking to use the Raspberry Pi and the Wolfson Sound Board to create a sound board to fit into my Ghostbusters Proton Pack to activate sound effects by the press of certain buttons on the gun. I already have a very basic sound board but the sound is awful. The Wolfson Soundboard will give me great digital sound and I am looking to use an external amp for it to make it loud. What I don't know is if/how I can use the Raspberry Pi to activate the sound files from the press of buttons/switches on the gun.

Any help/advice/pointers anyone can give would be very welcome!

Thank you.

Python has a lot of functionality for this by default. It can read/write WAVs as you probably already know. More info: https://wiki.python.org/moin/Audio/

Otherwise, I'd look at something like pydub which can do everything Python's standard library does and more. Easier to use IMO, too: http://pydub.com/
