Transform Your Computer Into a Powerful Soundboard with Soundplant

Soundplant is an innovative software application that lets you trigger sound files using your keyboard, providing musicians and performers with an intuitive way to manage their audio needs live.
Soundplant, now in its 15th year and winner of multiple awards, was designed to do one thing and do it well: to trigger sound files from the computer keyboard with maximum speed, efficiency, and ease of use. Users love its rock-solid stability for live events, its simple 1 sound per 1 key metaphor which eliminates the complications of other software samplers, and its ultra-optimized use of the computer keyboard with lowest-possible latency requiring no external devices or MIDI. Soundplant users include DJs, musicians, sound engineers, educators, broadcasters, and more, like bands Man or Astro-Man? and Nile, the BBC, the NFL's Tennessee Titans, National Public Radio, and Disney.
