Tsunami Super WAV Trigger Hookup Guide

Introduction

NOTE:

 This guide is for the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger 

(Qwiic)

. For the previous version of this board, the

Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (without a Qwiic connector), please refer to the original Tsunami hookup guide.

NOTE:

 This can be a relatively complex and overwhelming product for novice users, due to the numerous

configuration options that make it so versatile. Novice users, may want to consider the WAV Trigger or MP3
Trigger first.

The Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (Qwiic) is a polyphonic WAV file player that was developed in collaboration with
Robertsonics 

(a portion of each sale goes back to them for product support and development)

. The Tsunami Super

WAV Trigger 

(Qwiic)

 is an improved version of the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (the bigger brother of the WAV

Trigger), which can now, be controlled through the Qwiic connect system.
