Hi Darren,this came at the perfect time as I'm currently doing a new build and was looking at more sounds to use on transmitter,great work as always keep them coming love the humour and content.
Thanks Mark. This video has been on the list for a while. The day I uploaded it, I received an email asking if I could make this video. So hopefully it’s good timing for a few fellow RC Pilots. I’m glad people are liking the intro to 😄
J'adore tes vidéos, continue à nous faire découvrir encore et encore 👍😉
Thank you. I’m glad the videos help 👍🏻
Definitely would love a LoS soundpack! Loving these videos man, helping me a lot getting the most out of my radio
That’s great Lucas. I’m glad the videos are helping. I will sort out the LoS soundpack. Due to work, it won’t likely be until the new year. But I will work on it.
Hi that would be really nice.do you have news about this soundpack?
I enjoy watching your video's and always learning how do things with Ethos. After watching I tried making voice flies with my own voice using a USB mic.
Thanks 😎😎🥸
Thank you. I’m glad the video helped. Sounds like you had fun.
Huge fan of your videos! I always build my own custom kwads. Unfortunately I'm not to smart with computers haha. Thanks to your knowledge and we'll explained videos I look like a pro when showing my toys off to friends and people in the field . Great video and bardwell who 😂. Your my go to guy when it comes to fpv!!
Thanks Nick. That’s some strong praise right there. I’m just glad I could help. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. But if we all work together, we all get the most out of the hobby.
Thanks again for another excellent tutorial!!
Thanks buddy. Hope you’re doing well.
Very informative and concise, thank you.
You’re welcome Charles. I’m glad it helped
Daren: thanks so much for making these videos. I would be lost w/o them
You’re welcome Darrell.
That's a fun stuff. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Silvio
Awesome tutorial, i just used it to make some sound files for my inav osd layout selection, and model name callout when selecting another model in the transmitter.
Awesome Herman. Glad to hear it’s been put to good use already.
That's interesting the ability to call out a model name when changing model. How is that done? many thanks
@@hectorpiercey7852 Just add a play track with your sound clip at special functions and trigger it to play with a switch called ONE, let it play 1x.
@@HermyH66 That's brilliant Thanks Herman.
Merci pour les vidéo very good thanks you
You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.
Kudos! Without your step-by-step videos regarding EthOS i could never had manage myself so far. Thanks a whole lot for your time and skills. Just went from Spektrum to X20S, so it's hard to get into something new as this. For your information: the first time I used the text-to-speech it worked on Edge. Now, after realizing that my X20S haven`t any voice for flap settings I wanted to crate some more audio, but i'm only getting African woman :P tried both Edge and Chrome, updated/refreshed. Adria US is gone :( Ever experienced that yourself?
That web site seems to change the voices quite a bit. Aria is still on Edge, but you have to get to her a different way. I’m working on a web page to allow people to use the Edge “Read Aloud” feature for voice packs. Some people are having problems though, so I need to figure out why that might be.

Hi Darren, thanks for all your videos ,they are a great help. Appreciate that you had this one for sound bytes as well.
A question, I fly Pattern aerobatics, we have what we call a calling card, which has a sequence of manouvres which have to be flown in that order. It would be handy to load this call card onto my TX and then by eg. pressing one of the buttons at the back of Tx . the manouvres can be called on the completion of the previous one.
Eg 1st manouvre, loop with half roll; press button:(2nd) half square loop on corner; press button (3rd manouv) ; inverted cloverleaf etc to manouvre 17 ; end
great video question I have on my x12s with open tx when i power down i had a bye wave. can this file be used on my x20s with ethos and how to i get it to do it.i have in the system folder like I did in opentx .I notice you the video you had a bye wave file yourself thanks you for ay info on how to do this .
Hey Darren, I love your Ethos Videos and they have helped me out a ton. I saw in one of them that you have your volume set up on the middle red slider on your X20S, I can not figure out how to do that. I dont suppose you can give a quick video on what you did you change that, Thanks again
Thanks Mike. I’m glad the videos have helped.
To change the volume with a pot or switch, go to where you set the volume in the system settings. On the slider where you set the volume, hold down the enter button. There is an option there that activates it. Sorry I can’t be more specific at the moment. I’m not near a transmitter at the moment.
@@MrD Thank you so much super easy. Love your videos and appreciate all the help sir.
@@mikerochon4234 glad you got it sorted Mike. I was on a drive back from working away from home. So was hoping it would point you in the right direction 👍🏻
Did you ever end up making a soundpack for fixed wing? Couldn't find it on your webpage.
Love all these videos on Ethos!
The sound pack will be coming. It's just on a low priority at the moment. Plus, I have more sounds to add now.
I am surprised you didn't mention OpenTXspeaker for generating sounds. Been using this for any missing sounds in the amber pack.
To be honest. Because you can get much better sounding generated voices now. OpenTXSpeaker is from 2015. Comparing the voices on there to Aria, or some of the other natural voices on text-speech, is a night and day difference.
For the audio geeks - the sound files need to be 16-bit, 32000 Hz, mono .wav files. Otherwise they either will not play in Ethos or they will play back at the wrong sampling rate.
Thanks Mike
Thx for informative video. Are there any packs with "non speech" sounds, like beeps, chirps etc.? OpenTX used to have "Play Sound" command (next to "Play Track") with many built-in sounds, which I used for many different alarms. But this is missing in Ethos.
I will be putting one together. But I don’t have time at the moment as the INAV code freeze is soon.
Hey Mr D i edited my sounds like you did thanks. How do i edit the startup sound on my X20S from [Welcome to Ethos]
Hello, many thanks for your videos, just added my custom sounds and they work great. The thing I can't figure out is how to enable the system sounds for altitude, rate of climb/descent etc... when using a variometer. The numbers, units etc... all seem to be in the system audio file but when I use a variometer like on the SRX-8 the display works OK but I cannot figure out how to enable sounds
You’re welcome, I’m glad it was helpful.
I’m not at a transmitter at the moment. But I’m sure the special function is “play value”. Then you select what you want read out.
@@MrD quite right, this is how to do it. Thanks again
No problem
hey darren thanks for all your helping video's i received my x18s today and it came already updated to the latest version 1.3.3 Can you please tell me why u use an sd card in yours ? i presume it is to put all bigger file's like sound and pictures on so if so can you tell me can i just move the sound folder to an sd card ? greetz
I used the SD card for stuff that is not used often and just taking up space. For example firmware to install on receivers. There wouldn't be any benefit in storing those on the NAND drive. You can choose where you want to store specific types of file in the System -> General menu. You would need to move the files in a file explorer on your computer. They aren't automatically moved when you choose the storage location.
Hi!
Great tutorial again, it works but playback on transmitter speaks at low speed like a slowed down vinyl while it sounds normal on computer!!!
Hi there. Did you adjust the Hz of the file and resample the file? If it plays fine on the computer, but not on the transmitter it has to be something like that.ua-cam.com/video/2AcB_jrFFK4/v-deo.html
GREAT! Thanks a lot, it works :-))))
Hi friend, it is possible to start a video online recording from an external mini camera on the FrSky X20 transmitter
Hi Darren, Thank you for another excellent video!! Can I add the INAV sound pack to Regular EdgeTX 2.8 sound pack. I have a bunch of sound file folders in my sound file on the SD card, can I just delete the entire sound file and reload the 2.8 pack and then add the INAV sound pack to it, even if I have to drag the individual sound files over? And what to do with the telemetry folder sound file? BTW I have got my second INAV FPV plane in the air with the help of your videos, Its a Reptile Dragon 2, INAV 6.1. It flies Great, seems fast even on 3S batts
Yes, that IFWG sound pack can be added to EdgeTX no problem. No need to copy the files individually. You can copy them all at once. The sounds folder should be the same on EdgeTX. But the sounds for the INAV LUA script should be in scripts/telemetry/iNav/sounds/en. You will only see those folders if you have the INAV LUA script installed. If not, just ignore the scripts folder in the sound pack.
Thank you for the advice! I will give it a try, Your the best Mate please keep doing what you do, I know without you I would have given up a long time ago, you help to take the frustration out of the tech. Cheers@@MrD
Hi. What is the tape I see people use on foam planes? To say cover the leading edge. I have been using packing tape and an iron but was wondering if there's an actual monocoat type tape you recommend
For a just leading edge, you can use packing tape. However, you could use laminate, which is similar to covering material. In metric countries it’s called 75 micron lamination (or encapsulation) film. In the states it’s called 3 mil laminate. A mil is 1000th of an inch, so confusingly nothing to do with millimetres. Its not sticky, but when you heat it on, it melts the adhesive. It can add a fair amount of strength the the model.
Hey there!! I tried it but it didn't work, I'm wondering if I need a microphone connected to my my PC
Hi, just got an X20S and loving your videos, just a quickie, the Aria voice seems to have disappeared from the text to speech website which was clearly the best voice, any other recommendations?
Yes, a few months after making the video, I did find that the voices changed, seemingly randomly. I ended up making a page that could be used with the Edge browser, which gave access to the Aria and the other natural sounding voices. There is sometimes an issue with the page, which I'm sure is down to caching. But I'll hopefully have a fix for that shorty. www.mrd-rc.com/tutorials-tools-and-testing/useful-tools/transmitter-sound-pack-simple-phrase-page-generator/
This is awesome. I just got the X20S and am struggling. I am a Mac user so no MSFT browser stuff for me. Is there someplace that I can download a complete pack? Are you willing to share yours? I am more than happy to pay a fee for it.
Never mind..i got it...thanks for your videos they are very helpful.
Hi Darren, I have a Horus X10 TX running Ethos and have set up a bomb release function to the LH slider. I would like to add a “Bombs away” sound to this slider via special functions. However, although I have been able to add sounds to other switches successfully, for some reason the TX does not seem able to detect the slider as an output. Is this a problem with allocating sounds to sliders in general, or just this particular TX? Or am I missing something? Peter B
To allocate a sound to a slider. You need to create a logic switch that detects when the slider has moved in to the position where you want the sound to activate. Then use that logic switch to activate the special function to play the track.
Hi Darren , I have just loaded the amber sound pack into the audio file in my x20s but I can,T access them in special functions,it just shows this (-) .if I go into the audio file they are there under sound pack and show as a wav file, I,ve obviously missed a step? Cheers peter
It sounds like they’re either in the wrong folder or not the right format. If these sound ls are in an “en” folder. They won’t work. They need to be in audio. If they are in the audio folder and still not working. Try running them through the audio tool in ETHOS suite and re-installing them on the transmitter.
So I have the X20S and I added the files and I can even play them from the file manager but when I add it as a special function and I try to select the file its just blank there is nothing there. It's not even letting me select sounds from the OEM sound board on the controller what do I do?
It sounds like the sounds have been installed in the wrong place. They will appear in the list if they’re in the right location.
On the x18 where's best place for sound file's. On mine I put on sd card an if change models I have to restart it for the sounds to work. I haven't been able to get them to work if I put them on the radio. But I think that it was user error.
Ok I put a sound pack on radio,an it works don't need to restart it when charging models. Is this best to do this? An how do i back up models to sd card. Is copy it on the computer the only way,or a way on the radio?
Honestly, I don't have that issue with the sounds on the SD card with my X18. By radio, I guess you mean the NAND storage. Either that or the SD card should be fine.
The best way to back up the models is to copy the models folder on to your computer.
Thanks for your videos i just got my x20s but did i hear you say you maybe doing a sound pack yourself for Line of sight peeps if so please let me know :)
Hi Ryan. Yes, I have a some sound files that use the same voice as the INAV Fixed Wing Group sound pack. Mine are more for my LOS planes, so have gear, rates, flaps, ignition etc in there. If there was interest, I can make it available on my web site.
@@MrD yeah to me they would as I fly line of sight and thank you for your videos not only have you showed me how to setup my new radio. Your the reason I bought x20s in blue hahaha.
No problem. I’ll get something set up for those sound files. It may be a couple of weeks as I’m just about to upgrade my PC. But I will get it done.
They do look awesome in blue though 🤣
@@MrD thanks good luck with pc upgrade I did mine not so long ago
Anyone know the max track length or file size that can be played back in opentx/edgetx?
I don't know to be honest. Though people have used whole songs. I know as they submitted a bug report that if they had the song playing, they couldn't shut the transmitter down before it finished 😆
Using these directions a number of sound tracks, some from Amber 22 and some custom made, were installed. They were perfect!! Now, however, the custom ones made in the exact same manner, broadcast by the X20S greatly slowed and cannot be understood. The original tracks are still perfect. The new ones play properly on the PC. No idea what the problem(s) is/are. Something has changed but what is unknown to me. Suggestions to go back to what was are appreciated.
No, I am not a computer tech although I am somewhat experienced.
You probably have the wrong sample rate set. It should be 32000Hz. Start at 9:00 ua-cam.com/video/2AcB_jrFFK4/v-deo.html
It's possible one had the wrong sample rate. The error was caught after the first try. They currently have a 32000 ghz rate. Didn't help. Deleting the track from the SD card did not remove it from the list in the radio. Is there a way to delete a track from where it is stored in the radio?
@@MrD Doesn't matter now. The navigation buttons have disappeared as well as all my model setups. Such is life.
Hi Darren, Installed Amber onto my X20S. Now on special functions I cant get any files to show on the WAV file box just a blank box. Done all the updates but still cant get any audio. Any Ideas???
They’re probably in the wrong place. The should just be in the audio folder.
where the high / low rates file, can't find it?
can you not play background music on ethos , its labeled bgmusic on opentx and when you select switch it plays the music wave you have selected and if you move switch it stops playing. dont see bgmusic on ethos only see play track only problem is it plays entire song and doesn't stop when you move switch.
No not yet. I don't know if it is planned to be honest.
😊😊😊
Hi Mr.D, I am unable to get sound out when i use the special functions trying to get VALUES to play. I have tried a number of different sources, RX battery, Clock, Lipo level, and nothing will play. I'm not sure if my files are in the correct location. I can get it to play a track. any help would be great,
Thanks,
Bill
The speech for the readouts are system sounds. You’ll either need to check on the SD Card (OpenTX or EdgeTX) or in ETHOS Suite (ETHOS) to make sure the system sounds are there and happy.
Is the end user able to edit the "System" audio files ?
You should be able to Frank. But I would keep a copy of the files you change on your computer. As they could get overwritten in updates.
Hey Darren thanks for the excellent video! I updated my X20S today to firmware 1.2.8 using your video as a guide. I then attempted to make sound files with Audacity and text to speech. Everything worked fine on the computer. However when I loaded the files into ethos as per your instructions, the files all played super slow and at least two octaves below where they were recorded on audacity. Very strange. Any ideas?
Thank you. You probably just have the sample rate set incorrectly, It needs to be at 32000Hz ua-cam.com/video/2AcB_jrFFK4/v-deo.html
@@MrD Hey Darren thank you for your reply. That is not the issue. All files were recorded at 32000hz as per your instructions. Must ba an unknown bug, as I noticed another subscriber had the same issue. Hmmmm????
I thought they had sorted it. Could you drop me an email on my web site. Then send me over a sound file that is playing slow. I might be able to spot something in the meta data that would take ages trying different things to make it fail.
It could be because the file is stereo. It needs to be mono.
Hi Darren from France! Can you tell me if it is possible to program a bouton than you can hear the actual time instead of having a look on my watch please? Many thanks
Hi Dany. I’ve just had a look in ETHOS, and there is no setting to do this currently. I will add it to the GitHub though, as I can see that being a useful feature.
This option will be added to ETHOS in the future github.com/FrSkyRC/ETHOS-Feedback-Community/issues/1556
@@MrD so many thanks Darren
Gode job !
An other question : when will come back the CRSF from TBS ? For drones in FPV ( its a question of one of my friends wich i don't understand 😉🤣)
I think CRSF will be soon. One of the soon to be released transmitters is advertising ELRS compatibility. ELRS uses CRSF, so hopefully this is a good sign.
I got it, can I use these sound for RM TX16S?
Yes. Any OpenTX/EdgeTX or ETHOS transmitter.
I use an Apple Mac so no MS Edge. What is the next best text to speech app?
You’ll still be able to access some of the voices on that page. Some others have improved too. Other than that, a web search is the best option.
Hi Darren, Happy new year btw.... how do I stop the track from playing its full length on the transmitter? moving the switch doesn't stop it until the track has ended. Cheers in advance:)
Happy New Year to you too. Short answer, you can’t. Once the track starts, it plays to the end.
@@MrD Thanks Darren, thought as much.... better change that Britney track then, oops ;)
@@grumpyrse for that Britney track, you could set it up as background music. There is a special function to pause background music.
@@MrD WOW didn't know that.... thankyou for your help😀
@@MrD not found this in ethos :(
Hi Darren. I tried to post this a few days ago but can't find it. So apologies if this is a duplicate. What I really want for Christmas is to find a way for my X18 to stop reading out all sound tracks for the selected model on power up even when the "skip on startup flag" is on. It doesn't do that when you switch from one model to another. Anyone else have this problem? Happy holidays. love all your videos.

Hi Tom. Sometimes UA-cam deletes comments that it feels goes outside of the community guidelines. I’ve seen countless questions where the comments are fine, but UA-cam deletes them anyway. Some I catch just in time or get an email for, so can see they are fine. But when I go to answer, they have been deleted. The UA-cam AI is too aggressive, has no concept of the context, and UA-cam don’t want to do anything about it. I have asked a few times.
Anyway. That sounds like a bug in ETHOS. The skip on startup should work if the model is switched or if it is just powered on. The best place to report this problem is here github.com/FrSkyRC/ETHOS-Feedback-Community/issues
I would offer to do it for you. But sometimes they will ask for extra information or model files. So it is better to do this directly.
@@MrD Hi Dan... Thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware that UA-cam would censor comments. Anyway I did create an account on github and will report this. Meanwhile I took a read through a large number of reported issues and was that ever interesting! I would encourage all new Ethos users to take a look. You don't need an account just to read them. I learned so much just from reading other peoples comments and replies on issues. Regards... Tom
Yeah, unfortunately they do Tom. It’s not like they put the comments somewhere to be checked either. They just delete them.
The GitHub is very useful for information. If you have a problem, the closed issues can also show if it has already been fixed too.
No matter how many sounds I add or where I put them.i can't get a pep out of x18.
Hi, in Ethos I’ve managed to play a wav music file (through the functions menu) but when I switch off the switch the music keeps playing. Do you know how to stop it ?
That should have been fixed in 1.0.10. Which version of ETHOS are you running?
@@MrD 1.2.7
Sorry, I thought you were meaning switching off the transmitter. At the moment, there is no way to stop the music part way through.
I added some newly created tracks for high/med/low rates created from Audacity which play OK. Then when I power down radio and power back up the special function reverted back to the former amber sound track file. It's not saving the edited special function! Weird! Any ideas?
That sounds really weird. Are you exiting out to the main screen before powering down? Or have you tried switching to a different model and back to see if the new sounds are still used?
@@MrD x20s is brand new so I have only one model on it. I am going to main screen before powering down. I am using latest .14 firmware. Sounds like a bug, right?
Sorry about the late reply. I wanted to test this out for myself. I can’t replicate that bug. It works fine for me and stays on the new sound file.
@@MrD seems to happen only when SF is tagged as global. Might be an intended feature to prevent accidentally changing critical functions across many models.
@@ccaputo35possibly. I only set up my sounds on a per model basis. The only thing I ever had global with OpenTX was the volume on a pot. ETHOS handles this with standard settings now anyway.
I went on the text-to-speech website the other day to test out the Aria voice and it worked flawlessly. And then today when I was ready to record the files, I went on the website again and Aria is gone...
That website has become pretty hit and miss. If you check out this page. There is an alternative method which gives access to all the natural sounding voices www.mrd-rc.com/tutorials-tools-and-testing/useful-tools/transmitter-sound-pack-simple-phrase-page-generator/
@@MrD Great! I'll give it a shot. I used ivona to try it out and it's not that bad. I'll try your suggestion though, thank you!
Hi All... I also found that the voice selections are hit and miss on different browsers and even change from time to time with the same browser. But I emailed the support contact person listed on the web site and got a response with 2 hours! He/She updated some sort of script and now even more voice selections are there including Aria and they now seem to persist with each launch (using Edge). BTW, I tried a few other voices and found I liked "Libby" a lot more that "Aria". Her voice has a slight British accent, is easy to listen to, and more closely matches the system sounds in my new X18. Love it! Keep the videos coming Dan! Can't imagine doing all this without you.

@@doranngottlieb2482 Awesome. Thanks Tom 👍🏻
Sorry to bug you again have you ever had it in special functions where it shows wav file its just ---- some dashed lines and you can't pick anything ?
That sounds like the files are in the wrong folder, or all the file’s names are too long. The --- is the selector for nothing.

Tem do rádio frsky x20s de como fazer pra colocar o sons nas chaves?
Desculpe, a tradução não é muito boa no Google. Você poderia reformular a pergunta?
Gostaria de saber como adicionar voz nas chaves do frsky x20s tipo Flap, Flap1, Flap2
Obrigad por aguentar comigo. Às vezes, as traduções podem ser complicadas.
Para isso, você só precisa usar as Funções Especiais. Você cria uma nova função especial com a Ação "Play Track". Em seguida, defina o Estado para "Ativar" e a Condição Ativa para a posição do interruptor onde você deseja que o som seja reproduzido. Por fim, em Arquivo, encontre o arquivo de som que deseja reproduzir.
Vejo que não tenho um vídeo sobre como configurar um arquivo de som para um switch, então farei um vídeo mostrando isso em breve.

Hi Darren, Have installed the Amber sound pack and inav sound pack but there are no Wav files when I try to programme a sound, just a box saying Wav file that just takes me back to the screen.If I plug the transmitter into the computer it is showing all the files are there. Going into file manager in the radio/ audio there are only language files. Also on the SF page there is a Global switch that does not seem to be on your one in the video, what is that for? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Running Firmware 1.0.19. Than
Hi Paul. On ETHOS your custom sound files should be in /audio/. They don’t go in the language folders inside /audio/. In the video, all the files you can see in the audio folder are custom sound files that I've already made.
The Global Switch is a new setting in ETHOS to allow you to use Special Functions on all models. It was added after the video was recorded.
@@MrD Thanks for your speedy reply Darren, I'll try again. Unfortunately Audacity will not work on my computer.

escucha... Porque no empiezas tu vídeo diciendo que Trabajas con Linux AudaCity y que esto se puede hacer en cualquier Idioma... yo tengo una Tanden X20 habla como mi B-767 y lo importante de la Telemetría, me lo canta en Castellano, como mi 2° Piloto en la Cabina.
Disculpa, no te estoy siguiendo? No estoy usando Linux, estoy usando Windows. Audacity funciona en Windows, Linux y MacOS, por lo que es una excelente opción para una gran cantidad de personas.
Funcionará con cualquier idioma que elija. La carpeta en ETHOS es la misma. Realmente no entiendo los problemas?
Looks like they removed "Aria"
It appears randomly on that site I’ve found now. The Aria voice is a part of the Microsoft Edge browser’s real aloud function. That’s where that site gets the voices from. But, a lot more of the “natural” voices are sounding just as good now.
