Station videos for sounds

[JR 500系]

I've been browsing youtube and saving videos for station sounds, which are really useful for video editing when filming your N scale trains, add that special touch of realism to the video!

I like this guy's channel for its clear sounds for stations

 

And just for fun, here's one just for doors, with more than 25 pure mins of doors closing and opening!

 

*To be frank, I got a headache from the chimes just from 8mins of listening to this!

Here's a video made by me of what I meant by using video sound edits in your N scale video:

Hi JR 500系,

 

Excellent -  just what I need  :)

 

I’ve been collecting various station sound effects for a project I’m working on building a real-time sound generator around a $35 Raspberry Pi.

 

For testing I’ve programmed 8 buttons (eventually I want it to trigger automatically as trains arrive and leave the stations):

1 - announcement

2 - train arriving

3 - brake/flange squeal

4 - door open & announce

5 - warning chime, announce & door close

6 - brake release & train departing

7 - horn

8 - station jingle

 

Here’s a quick demo:

 

 

One thing I like about doing it on the Raspberry Pi is that there’s enough horsepower to mix raw PCM sound samples on the fly, so any number of sounds can play at the same time.  That seems to be a problem with that fancy Taiwanese PCM / VVVF controller that was discussed a while ago.  If you listen carefully to the demo, you can hear the current sound effect abruptly cut off as soon as the button for the next effect is pressed.

This is seriously cool. Since it's a linux based pc, the possibilities are almost endless. I would like to ask what kind of input circuit do you use for the buttons and if the software and the samples will be open source in the future? (i have a surplus pi laying around at my workplace that was used as a signal generator in a previous project)

Instead of hijacking JR 500系’s “Station Videos” thread, I thought it would be better to start a new topic for my Sound Box project under “Personal Projects”.

This site has a large range of one off sounds for specific lines that may be of some help
