#Soundplant full software#
Playing sounds are displayed with a progress bar and track time, you can turn on 'background key input' to trigger sounds while using any other software with Soundplant hidden, and launch an unlimited number of Soundplant instances to allow output to multiple audio devices, expanded polyphony, and more banks of sounds. A simple graphic interface provides for drag-and-drop configuration of each key, including several options which control the way each sound is triggered, along with several non-destructive realtime effects including reverb, pitch, and fading. Because it is a standalone 'software sampler' that uses your own digital 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 quickly sketch sound designs, or to give new life to old sounds. It can assign sound files of unlimited size and any format onto virtually all keyboard keys, giving you hours of instantly-playing audio at your fingertips with no extra hardware needed.

I know there are programs to let you activate MIDI with your keyboard but I'm not really experienced with MIDI stuff and not looking for a full DAW for this, so if there's a standalone program that does this with MIDI and I could use that in conjunction with a keyboard-MIDI program that should also fit my needs.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. I'm just wondering if there's anything out there already that you've had good experiences with.

I know this stuff is possible, I could program it myself if I knew how to do UI stuff and wanted to go through the effort.

And as far as I can tell it doesn't record keyup events (to play the sound for as long you hold the key, then kill it when you release it) or even really properly record keydown, since repeat is on by default as if you were entering text. Certain keys aren't available for use and the ones that are (besides the letters) aren't really convenient for my keyboard's layout. Soundplant is good and I'll be using it for right now but it's just a little too limited. Just looking for a way to press a key and have a specified waveform play according to which key.
