What about something that has to be small and portable? You are probably feeling a little frustrated: it's been very hard to find a simple, low cost audio effects trigger that is easy to use and does not require any programming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNTIL NOW!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't get me wrong, we love the MP3 Music Maker shield, and Adafruits Wave Shield is a dependable classic.
