General Use

 

This page explains the core sound playback features and interaction modes of the Engage Pro Elite.

⚠️ Some behaviour depends on the currently installed sound pack or character template.


🎛 Basic Button Behaviour

 

Buttons support multiple interaction types:

  • Click
  • Short Hold
  • Long Hold

Depending on the sound pack template, each interaction may trigger different audio categories or behaviours.


▶️ Click Actions

 

A normal button press (“click”) will trigger audio on the assigned button. Each press triggers the next audio. (Current audio needs to finish before next line can be played).


⏱ Short Hold Actions

 

Holding a button briefly may trigger a different category of sounds from the same button.

Example:

  • Click = Yes responses
  • Short Hold = Greeting responses

This allows a single button to support multiple sound categories.

⚠️ Behaviour varies depending on the installed sound pack template.


🔁 Long Hold & Polyphonic Audio

 

Some templates support polyphonic audio using a long hold.

Polyphonic audio allows a looping background sound to continue playing while other sounds are triggered simultaneously.


🎵 Example: Darth Vader Breathing

 

A long hold may activate a continuous breathing loop.

While the breathing audio is active:

  • Other buttons can still trigger voice lines and effects
  • Multiple sounds will play together

This creates a layered, cinematic audio experience.


▶️ Starting Polyphonic Audio

 

  1. Press and hold the assigned button
  2. The looping audio will begin

⏹ Stopping Polyphonic Audio

 

  • Press and hold the same button again (template dependent)

⚠️ Polyphonic behaviour depends on the sound pack template.


🎤 Q & A Mode

 

Some templates support an interactive Q & A Mode.

This is designed to simulate conversations between characters.


▶️ Entering Q & A Mode

 

Pressing a Q & A assigned button will:

  1. Put the device into Q & A Mode
  2. Play the initial audio/question

🎛 Q & A Controls

 

While in Q & A Mode:

Button 1

 

  • Replays the initial question/audio
  • Keeps the unit in Q & A Mode

Buttons 2 – 4

 

  • Play optional responses (check template)
  • Automatically exit Q & A Mode after playback

Button 8

 

  • Exits Q & A Mode without playing a sound

⚠️ Important Notes

 

  • Q & A Mode is only available on supported templates
  • Button assignments may vary between sound packs
  • Some templates may use different conversation layouts

👤 Character Profiles

 

The Engage Pro Elite can store up to 6 character profiles.

Each profile contains its own:

  • Sound pack
  • Button layout
  • Character interactions
  • Q & A behaviour

▶️ Default Profile Behaviour

 

When powered on, the device will always load the first installed profile by default.

The boot sound for that profile will automatically play during startup.


🔄 Switching Profiles

 

To switch to the next installed character profile:

  1. Hold Button 1
  2. Press Button 8

The next profile will load and its boot sound will play.

Repeat the process to cycle through available profiles
