Features
Sections & 16 button colors

Group buttons under renamable, collapsible headings and color-code them by category. Built for boards with hundreds of sounds.

Search

Find any sound instantly by label or filename — Ctrl+F jumps straight to the search box.

Batch play

Middle-click to queue sounds (or Select All), then Shuffle or Surprise Me — play them all at once or one after another.

Volume, Speed & Pitch

0–300% volume boost, 0.2x–3.0x speed, −12 to +12 semitones of pitch — independently adjustable.

Emergency Stop

The red STOP ALL button — or the Esc key — kills every sound currently playing, instantly.

Export & Import

Share your whole board — layout and audio — as a single file that opens on any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.

Play-count stats

See how often each button gets used, right from the File menu.

Updates

Windows and Linux check for new versions on launch and install them for you. Macs get told when one's out, with a link to the download.

Installing

Mac: open the .dmg and drag MSTech SoundBoard into Applications. The first time you open it, macOS will block it as from an “unidentified developer” (the app isn't signed by Apple) — go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Linux .deb / .rpm: open it with your software installer, or run sudo apt install ./SoundBoard-….deb / sudo dnf install ./SoundBoard-….rpm. Installing an update asks for your password.

Linux AppImage: make it executable (chmod +x SoundBoard-….AppImage) and run it. On Ubuntu 22.04 and newer you may need sudo apt install libfuse2 first.
