Soundplant turns your keyboard into a low-latency sound instrument, assigning sound files of any format to 88 keys through a drag-and-drop interface. Quickly create personalized soundboards for efficient audio playback.

You can assign sound files of any type or length onto virtually all keyboard keys, providing hours of instant audio access at your fingertips, without the need for extra hardware. The hallmark of Soundplant is its flexibility, which is almost infinite because it can handle a variety of sounds and allow you to tweak them as much as you like.
Soundplant is not just for music producers, it can also be used as a performance and presentation tool or installed for a live event. You can use it as a drum pad or to mix tracks in real-time, trigger sound effects during a show, as an educational aid or to create music and loops. The software is easy to use, with an intuitive and user-friendly interface that allows for drag-and-drop configuration of each key. You can also control the way each sound is triggered with several lightweight non-destructive real-time effects.
When playing sounds, a progress bar and track time are displayed, and you can even trigger sounds while using another program. Soundplant is a software sampler designed to do one thing extremely well- trigger sounds from your computer keyboard. It's not a synthesizer, plugin, editor, or sequencer. Users appreciate its rock-solid stability during live events and shows, the simplicity of its one sound per one key metaphor, and its versatility in handling sounds of different types and lengths.
Soundplant also features ultra-optimized use of the computer keyboard with ultra-low latency, resulting in an incredibly smooth user experience. Overall, Soundplant is an impressive live performance audio software that provides endless possibilities for music production, live performances, and sound design.
