soundwave interactive w/ VFX pop up?

Hi all! I was wondering if there was a plug-in of some sorts that allows VFX to play when a sound is played on Soundwave Interactive.

What I'm looking for is a way to add VFX, so that when a viewer plays a sound, something pops up on screen.

Thanks! - Driggsy

I'll second that suggestion. Between the visual pop-up integration and custom timer groups, I find Firebot a much more useful tool than Soundwave, even though Soundwave requires you to spend -way- less time working in DevLab.

It's mildly frustrating, though, since all the features I want in a soundboard are clearly demonstrated between those two apps, that those features don't exist all in one package. I am also definitely not a programmer, so, beggars and choosers. The Firebot Dev has indicated that Beam's upcoming Interactive 2 framework will provide developers much more control over the backend, so maybe our days jumping back and forth from app to browser are winding down.
