WAVE FILEI have the seance routine set-up for IR 1, I re-set on IR 2. Can I have a .wav file play on IR 3 or do all the programs need to be VSA set-ups?
Best regards

Put your WAV file onto a sound player, using sound players is exactly the same as using VSA

WAV FILESo let's say I have the .WAV file on an IPOD. How does this interact with the EXORCIST unit?

I think that maybe we have got confused here.
Inside Exorcist there are 8 sound players as well as 8 VSA Players, these can be used for just playing sounds.
there is currently no way of controlling something like an IPod from Exorcist.

WAV fileSo - if the WAV file is on my PC, can I just "point to it" like I do a VSA routine, and set it to play when I hit a button on the remote? My goal is to trigger the skull routine when people approach and play the scary music in between. Right now I have the Seance routine set-up to run in IR 1 and reset on IR 2. I assume I need to reset each time so it plays from the beginning - right?
Lastly - where is the best place to pick up a trigger mat? Do you think a trigger mat would work as well as me just pressing the remote when I want the routine to start? If you use a trigger mat how does the Exorcist know to reset? I thought I need to tell it to reset. Is that done through the timer I assume.
Best regards
Mark (as you can tell a complete novice!)

Being a novice is not a problem, Exorcist was written specifically for the novice, however, its often a hard balance to get right between simplicity and versatility.
Yes you can control a sound file that way, you may want to write the control so the sound player loops, ie triggers on the sound finished, as well as triggers when the routine finishes
Sound 1
trigger Function 1
Reset VSA 1 active
Function 1
type: OR
Trigger 1: VSA 1 Done
Trigger 2: Function 2
Function 2
type OR
Trigger 1: Sound player done
Trigger 2: IR RC 3
mat switches are available from SkullTroniX, we feel these are the best way to trigger routines, it is a good idea to use a timer to reset a routine as it gives your guests a change to move away without triggering teh routine again.

RoutineI copied the code you sent into a Word document to try when I get home.
When you say "Sound 1" is there a way inside Exorcist to point at a .wav file? I remember when using VSA - I doubled clicked and it allowed me to browse to where my VSA seance file was.
Will the code you presented allow me Press 1 on my remote to activate the skull routine (Seance) and when it's done kick into the .wav file. Also how do I reset the Seance so that when the next batch of vistors arrive I can press 1 again and have the routine start from scratch (and automatically stop the .wav file).
Thanks

If you are just using your remote to trigger then use VSA 1 DONE as a reset, or if you feel you want to have an option to reset from the remote in case of accidental triggering try
VSA1
reset: Function 5
Function 5
Type: OR
trigger 1: IR RC 0
Trigger 2: VSA 1 Done
programming a sound player is exactly teh same as a VSA player, yo9u double click on the filename box and search for teh sound file
