pegelWERK instant PLAYER, 64-pad soundboard for iPhone and iPad
Highlights

64 pads. Tap. Cue plays.

instant PLAYER is a 64-pad soundboard in studio cart style. 16 pads per bank, 4 banks, MULTI and SINGLE mode, AUTO-CUE, LOOP, optional cross-fade. Save the whole show as one .satkip bundle, AirDrop it to the next iPad and it's ready.

64 Pads

16 pads x 4 banks

64 cue slots, organised in four banks (A / B / C / D) with 16 pads each. Per pad: name, colour (7-colour palette), volume slider, LOOP toggle, AUTO-CUE toggle. Mini waveform with cue marker on every pad.

Multi · Single

MULTI or SINGLE mode

MULTI: pads stack voices, every tap adds another. SINGLE: any tap stops everything else first, like a classic studio cart machine. SINGLE plus FADE > 0 yields a clean cross-fade between cues.

Fade

Four FADE stages

FADE button cycles OFF / SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG (0.5 / 1.5 / 4 s), global for all pads. In SINGLE mode this becomes the cross-fade. No click on stop, no hard cut on stings.

Auto-Cue

AUTO-CUE + LOOP

AUTO-CUE skips leading silence, cues fire on the first audible sample, not at the file start. LOOP toggle for beds and ambient material, wraparound to the cue point. Both per-pad toggleable.

Show-Bundle

.satkip bundle

A complete show, manifest plus all 24-bit WAVs, in a single .satkip ZIP file. AirDrop to the next iPad, open, show is ready. No re-upload, no cloud, no account.

Round-Trip

Round-trip with easy EDITOR

The CHOOSE button hands the active pad off to pegelWERK easy EDITOR. Trim or R128-normalise it there; SEND BACK lands the result on the same pad. Without easy EDITOR an App Store hint is shown instead.

How it works

Four steps to a show

Tap pad, pick audio, set mode, save show. Identical handling on iPhone (portrait + landscape) and iPad (all four orientations).

01

Assign pad

Tap an empty pad, the Files picker opens. Pick audio from Files, iCloud Drive or via AirDrop. Pad shows a waveform thumbnail with cue marker immediately.

02

Configure pad

Volume by slider, one of 7 colours for the pad tile, LOOP for beds, AUTO-CUE for clean cue starts. Optionally hand off to easy EDITOR for trimming.

03

Pick mode

MULTI for stacking, SINGLE for cart-machine logic. FADE at SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG for cross-fades between cues. ESC stops everything, Fade-All gracefully fades all running pads.

04

Save show

SAVE writes a .satkip file with manifest and all audio as 24-bit WAVs. Via AirDrop or Files to the next iPad, open it there, show is up.

What sets it apart

One show.
One file.

What separates it from generic soundboards is the .satkip bundle: manifest plus all 24-bit WAVs in one ZIP. A theatre night, a podcast episode, a live set, fully portable. Forget the USB stick, forget "which audio belongs to which show", AirDrop the bundle and the setup is where it needs to be.
