Sound Source as a trigger

Hello,
This is my first year creating a pneumatic prop and I needed a controller so I purchased the Prop 1 and must admit it has been great. Being a newbie and all I do have a quick question in regards to something I would like to do, I would like to use a sound source as a trigger for my program. Is this possible? I would imagine that I would need to convert a sound source to an electrical current. If that is the case, does anybody have any suggestions out there on the best way to do so.
Thanks

It could be as simple as an open collector opto-isolator.  If you'll give more details I'll whip up a suggestion circuit.
