SoundDeck

v1.3.1 "Elephant" Windows 10/11 Android 8+

The audio player for live shows. Fire sound effects from 32 pads, run walk-in music with crossfades, step through your show with one big GO, and silence everything with one STOP. Built for weddings, galas, conferences and theatre.

SoundDeck on Windows: two pads playing with live meters, the BGM playing Lobby Jazz while ducked, and the Cue List standing by on Walk-in music

Everything a show needs, on one screen

Pads, background music and a cue list side by side, so you never dig through menus during a show.

Pads

32 pads, ready when you are

  • 2 Banks of 16, each with its own keyboard key, colour, Fader, Trim and Pan.
  • Trigger modes: Play/Pause, Play/Restart, Play/Stop and Fade Stop.
  • Mute, Solo and Loop on every pad, with live meters and a red countdown in the last 10 seconds.
  • Exclusive pads: one at a time, so a new song stops the old one.
  • Drag a file onto a pad, or drag pads to swap them.

Cue List

Press GO. The show runs.

  • A theatre-style Cue List with Standby and Playhead. GO is the space bar.
  • Pre-wait, Post-wait, Auto-continue and Auto-follow for timed sequences.
  • Audio, Fade, Stop, Pad, BGM and Memo cues. Drop files to make cues.

BGM & Mixer

Music that gets out of the way

  • BGM playlist with sample-accurate crossfade or gapless playback, imported from files or a whole folder.
  • Ducking: the BGM dips automatically under the pads.
  • MC TALK: one button (or F4) lowers everything while the MC speaks, then brings it back.
  • Mixer console: 32 channel strips, Groups, Solo-in-place, Master Limiter and Mixer Scenes.

Show mode

Safe while the lights are down

  • Show Lock: editing is locked; playback, Faders, GO and STOP always work.
  • STOP (Esc) silences everything at once, hard or with a short fade, even while you type.
  • Autosave and crash recovery. Missing files can be relinked.
  • Show Packages (.sdpkg) bundle a show with all its audio to move it between computers and tablets.

Pro I/O

Plays nicely with your rig

  • WASAPI Shared and Exclusive on Windows for the lowest latency.
  • Output routing to any stereo pair of a multi-channel interface.
  • MIDI input with MIDI Learn, OS-wide hotkeys and page-turner foot switches.
  • English and Vietnamese interface and a full user manual (PDF) in both languages.
Settings: Audio tab with WASAPI driver, sample rate, latency estimate, STOP mode and Master Limiter

Android

The same show on a tablet

  • Pads, BGM, Cues and Mixer in tabs, designed for touch.
  • On phones a swipe scrolls the pad grid; a pad only fires from its Play button.
  • Open a Show Package made on Windows and play it as is.
