What's new.

Soundboard now needs iOS 17.

This one is mostly under the floorboards, but two things you may have felt are fixed for good.

• Restored your iPad from a backup and found every pad saying UNPLAYABLE? Your sounds are found again automatically on the next launch.
• A pad whose audio has genuinely gone missing now says NEEDS FILE instead of UNPLAYABLE, and there's a new Relink missing audio button in Settings for once you've put the files back.

Also new

• Trimmed cues now stop exactly on their out point, instead of up to half a second late.
• The timer, progress bar and meters keep moving while you scroll a board.

Fixed

• Deleting a pad no longer leaves its audio file behind eating storage, and deleting a big board is much faster.
• Re-importing a file you'd previously deleted no longer produced a pad that wouldn't play.
• Your own audio in the Files app is never touched when pads are deleted.

Getting your audio in is no longer the hard part.

• Share to Soundboard from anywhere — Voice Memos, Mail, WhatsApp, Dropbox, Safari. Tap Share, pick Soundboard, done.
• Your sounds now show up in the Files app, so you can drag a whole show across from a Mac in one go.
• On iPad, drag files straight onto a board.

Also new

• A demo board on first launch, so you can hear what Soundboard does in the first ten seconds — and delete it in one tap when you're ready to build your own.
• Level meters on the transport and on every playing pad.
• Ride one cue's level from the transport without opening its settings.
• Search across every board to find a cue by name.
• The transport collapses to give the grid more room, and remembers how you like it in each orientation.
• Settings, including a way to get in touch.

Fixed

• The master fader is remembered between launches instead of resetting to full.
• Touching the master fader during a fade-out no longer strands a cue mid-fade, still playing.
• Deleting a board now says how many sounds go with it first.
• Import is now a labelled button, and new boards get distinct names and colours.

• Fixed a bug where sounds could show "UNPLAYABLE" after deleting a board, and wouldn't play until you restarted the app.
• Fixed layered sounds being cut off when you switched boards.
• Added anonymous usage and crash reporting so we can fix problems faster. No accounts, no ads, no tracking across other apps.

Soundboard 2.0 — a complete redesign

A ground-up visual refresh and a much more powerful way to build and run your boards:

• Brand-new look — a clean, dark interface built for dim rooms and live use, with bigger, easier-to-hit pads.
• Powerful sound editor — tap and hold any pad to open the new editor: trim the start and end right on the waveform, preview your changes instantly, and set per-sound volume.
• Play your way — mark a sound as Solo (silences everything else), Loop it, or choose what a second tap does: replay from the top or stop.
• Manage your boards faster — duplicate a sound, move it to another board, swap its audio with Replace Sound File, and reorder both sounds and boards.
• Smoother live control — an always-visible transport bar with Stop and a 3-second fade-out, plus reliable background playback so sound keeps going when you leave the app.
• Import in bulk — add several audio files at once, with durations shown right away.
• More stable — fixes for crashes and data loss when deleting boards and sounds.

• Fixed a crash-on-open bug.
• Added a new feature to be able to replace the song for a given tile.
• Added a sample on the first launch so you can hit play straight away!

• We've fixed an issue that occurred when using Split View on iPad, where the player indicator and adjustment highlights weren't displaying properly - they now look right again.
• Also we have optimised performance, so we'll sip your battery a bit more!

• We've fixed a crash that happens when trying to play a track after not using the app for a little while. Delete and reimport your tracks if you continue to see the problem, apologies!
