Audio Pad

AudioPad is a cross-platform soundboard: a grid of buttons, each mapped to an audio clip, built for firing sound cues live — at a table, on stage, or wherever a clip needs to land on time.

Runs on Windows, Linux, and Android from one shared codebase.

What it does

  • Latch pads play once; press again to cut them off.
  • Loop pads play until stopped.
  • Many pads can play at once, each at its own volume.
  • A playing pad lights up and shows restart / stop / pause as large targets, with elapsed time
    for loops and a countdown for one-shots.
  • Pages hold separate grids, navigated as an endless carousel — swipe, use the arrows, or
    pinch to zoom out to the page manager.
  • Grid size is per page, from 1×1 to 8×8.
  • Pads take four colours — idle and playing, each with its own hover shade — set per page and
    overridable per pad.
  • Edit mode separates arranging from performing: with it on, a tap opens a pad's settings and
    a drag rearranges the board; with it off, taps only play. Nothing can be reconfigured by
    accident mid-performance.
  • Clips and icons are imported into the app's own library, so a board doesn't break when you
    reorganise your folders, and behaves the same on every platform.
  • Export and import a page or a whole setup as a single .audiopad file, media included —
    build a board on the desktop and carry it to a tablet or phone.
