Music Soundboard

Hit the pad. It's already playing.

Music Soundboard is for people who cue live - announcers, podcasters, DJs, theatre and event sound.

Build a board for each show, tap a pad to fire it, and stack as many cues as you need. No hunting for the right file while the room waits.

GETTING YOUR AUDIO IN • Share straight to Soundboard from Voice Memos, Mail, WhatsApp, Dropbox, Safari — anywhere with a Share button. • Your sounds sit in the Files app, so you can drag a whole show across from a Mac in one go. • On iPad, drop files straight onto a board. • Import several at once, and let track names come from the files' own tags.

RUNNING THE SHOW • Tap a pad to play it. Tap again to restart from the top, or to stop — your choice, set per sound. • Play as many cues at once as you need, and ride any one of them from the transport without opening it. • STOP cuts everything dead. FADE takes it all down over three seconds. • Level meters on the transport and on every playing pad, so you can see what is still running. • Sound keeps going when you leave the app or lock the screen. • Send it to the PA over AirPlay, or out to whatever is plugged in.

SETTING EVERY CUE UP FIRST • Trim the start and end on the waveform, so a cue opens on the beat instead of two seconds of silence. • Set a level per sound, so nothing leaps out mid-show. • Loop a bed of ambience. Solo a cue so it silences everything else while it plays. • Name and colour every pad and every board, and drag them into the order you want. • Duplicate a sound, move it to another board, or swap its audio for a different file. • Search across every board when you cannot remember which one a cue is on.

ON IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both. Five columns of pads on iPad, and the transport collapses when you want more of the grid.

New here? Start with the demo board and you will hear what the app does in the first ten seconds — then delete it in one tap when you are ready to build your own.

A one-time purchase. No subscription, no accounts, no ads, and your sounds never leave your device.
