"Heart Safe" Tones

[treyboothe]

I have been experimenting with two-tone detect software, and I'm currently working on a project that involves receiving a tone alert and gradually increasing its volume using a pylon script. However, I'm facing some challenges in implementing this specific functionality.

Has anyone ever created a pylon script to achieve a gradual increase in the volume of a tone alert received through the two-tone detect software? I would greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or code examples you may be able to provide.

Here are a few specific points I'm hoping to address in my script:

Detection: I have successfully implemented the tone detection functionality using the two-tone detect software. Now, I would like to trigger a pylon script to gradually increase the volume of the tone alert when it is detected.

Gradual Volume Increase: Instead of an immediate volume jump, I want the tone alert volume to increase gradually over a specified duration. For example, starting from a low volume and gradually reaching a higher volume over a period of 10-15 seconds.

Control and Adjustability: Ideally, the pylon script should provide options to control the duration of the volume increase and the maximum volume level to be reached. This flexibility will allow me to adapt the script to different scenarios and requirements.

If anyone has any experience or expertise in creating such a pylon script, I would be grateful for your input. It would be fantastic if you could share any relevant code snippets or point me in the right direction to achieve this gradual volume increase functionality.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, let’s make sure that we are on the same page here. TTD decides a tone set and records the dispatch audio. You may record a bit of the Btone depending on your settings. So TTD doesn’t really have an “alert tone”. If you want to add an alert tone you could record your heartsafe tone using audio software, save it as an mp3, then concatenate that audio to the beginning of each audio file from TTD. Then when a user receives the audio attachment the tone pkays followed by the message.

Otherwise if you are a IaR subscriber the tones available are listed in their app. I am not sure if you can use a custom tone. If you are delivering via pushover, you can create custom alerts.

That's still not going to have the outcome I'm looking for. I would want the audio the crews receive through the station to have a ramp-up effect. Thank you for the input, though!

The solution might be to just easily swap the mp3/wav file in the dispatch console. Rather than have a workaround with TTD.

Anyone have recommendations on tone alerts for an EMS agency? We have three districts and would need tones for each.

set it up with a unication or minitor and make the alert tone something that ramps, then auto reset after however long you want

You can use the "alert script" function of TTD to have it play an audio file of your choosing when it detects the paging tone. That audio file can be a ramped alert of your design. However, if you want to also have the voice audio played through the station, that gets a bit more complicated. TTD can play the audio it's recording in real time, but it doesn't ramp that volume, and whatever ramped audio file you're playing may overlap with the voice dispatch.
