Soundplant was designed to do one thing and do it well: to trigger sounds from the computer keyboard with maximum speed, efficiency, and ease of use. Playing sounds are displayed with a progress bar and track time, and you can even trigger sounds with Soundplant hidden while using any other program.
An easy-to-use interface provides drag-and-drop, point-and-click configuration of each key, including options which control the way each sound is triggered along with several lightweight non-destructive realtime effects. Because it's a standalone 'software sampler' that uses your own samples, Soundplant is an infinitely flexible electronic instrument limited only by the variety of sounds that you feed it. Use Soundplant as a performance, presentation, or installation tool, as a drum pad, to mix together tracks in realtime, as an educational aid, to trigger sound effects or background tracks during a show, to create music or loops, to sketch sound designs, or to give new life to old sounds - all via an input device you've been practicing on for as long as you've been typing. The Multi-FX is also a great way to add other hardware like a rack-mount soundboard or cabinet.Soundplant is a digital audio performance program that turns your computer keyboard (yes, your QWERTY keyboard) into a versatile, low latency, multitrack sample-triggering device and playable musical instrument, allowing the assignment of sound files of any format and size onto virtually all keyboard keys, giving you hours of instantly-playing random access audio at your fingertips with no extra hardware needed. The Multi-FX was engineered to allow any user to connect it to any other multi-effects processor, and even connect it to a virtual rack based soundboard similar to what you would find in popular live venues. But cannot produce any wah or lead guitar effects. A typical midi keyboard is able to trigger certain midi instrument sounds like a kick drum, snare, hi hat, cymbals, etc. The Multi-FX was designed to take ordinary midi keyboard sounds and combine them into complex percussive sounds that are beyond what a typical midi keyboard can produce. Soundplant's most interesting module, the Multi-FX, is being used by musicians and engineers as a powerful multi FX processor. In the mean time, Soundplant users can continue to upload their audio files to their hard drives, though audio files uploaded to the server will have higher quality sound effects and the ability to trigger more complex sounds via new modules such as the Multi-FX processor. SES will allow one to upload a file with one short effects (like an acoustic bass line for instance), and load it onto a server, where it can be played without any downloads. The uploading process will be made incredibly easy with a new feature called "short effect streaming", or SES for short. Soundplant's creators are currently working on a version 4.0, which will allow users to transfer their files directly from their hard drives to Soundplant's servers. Soundplant was developed by a string instrument technician and sound designer who left his job as an audiologist to pursue his passion and earn his doctoral degree in electronic music technology at university. Soundplant comes with a collection of more than 150 pre-programmed sounds including live musicians and recording artists. It works by transforming analog audio signals into digital data that can be played with specialized sound modules on personal computers.
Soundplant does not require any special equipment.
Soundplant is a revolutionary new technology that allows you to create your own sound and music virtually in the comfort of your own home.
