SoundDeck
The audio player for live shows. Fire sound effects from 32 pads, run walk-in music with crossfades, step through the show with one GO, and silence everything with one STOP. Made for weddings, galas, conferences and theatre.
One screen, the whole show
Pads, background music and the cue list sit side by side, so nothing is more than one press away during a show.
32 pads, ready when you are
- 2 banks of 16, each pad with its own key, colour, fader, trim and pan.
- Trigger modes: Play/Pause, Play/Restart, Play/Stop and Fade Stop.
- Mute, Solo and Loop on every pad, 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.
- Drop a file onto a pad, or drag pads to swap them.
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 on the list to make cues.
Music that gets out of the way
- A BGM playlist with sample-accurate crossfade or gapless playback, from files or a whole folder.
- Ducking: the BGM dips by itself under the pads.
- MC TALK: one button (or F4) lowers everything while the MC speaks, then brings it back.
- A mixer console with 32 channel strips, groups, solo-in-place, a master limiter and scenes.
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) carry a show and all its audio to another computer or tablet.
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, system-wide hotkeys and page-turner foot switches.
- English and Vietnamese interface, with a full user manual (PDF) in both.
The same show on a tablet
- Pads, BGM, Cues and Mixer in tabs, built for touch.
- On phones a swipe scrolls the pad grid; a pad fires only from its Play button.
- Open a Show Package made on Windows and play it as it is.
