Ive experimented with I2c EEPROMs and arduinos and DACing the audio. It worked, it was just slow. Have yet to try with teensy to see if the bottle neck was the arudino, which i suspect it was. It coulda been the serial speed wasnt high enough to retrieve and process across the pwm. I do know it worked however because recorded the output, and sped up the result and it sounded perfect. So its just a matter of playing back at the right sample rate.

Here is the v1 experiment if you want to see:

> Hello yall. I made some progress today on my pet project. The basic idea is to load up some roms with sample data and have an arduino play it back. It is still as of writing this topic a bit buggy, but it is far enough along to share some progress i think. This demos three things, The output of a linndrum’s snare eeprom dump raw. The output off of the eeprom fed through the arduino and output one of it’s pins The output, then processed by a Sallen-Key low-pass Filter. I am presently using …

If you just want a solution that works rather than an experiment that might not, get the wav trigger. You might find it a lil cheaper in the long run.

If you rather risk not having a project that works and would rather experiment, go for it, thats how new awesome things get built.

Just keep in mind polyphony is a thing with the wav trigger, and what you build may not have that support.
