So where does Soundplant fit into all this? Well the glory of Soundplant is in its third way approach. Plenty of examples about – try mAirlist if you want to get an idea of what these systems can do.

Radio and TV broadcast playout systems usually offer both the playlist and cart machine modes of playback – you will have a playlist area into which you can drop your running order but short burst of audio can be assigned to big on screen buttons or a special hardware interface or custom keypad that fires your audio. Loose contact with your dongle and your show is going down – of course that is less likely to happen in studio than in a field somewhere at an outside broadcast. Spot On from Sigma Broadcast is a great example of a cart machine style interface – with loads of broadcast features and is widely used in UK TV and Radio – it has one Achilles heel – the usb dongle. A cart (a short loop of tape in a box) has a player with a very simple interface, big buttons, and is more like a sampler – big green go button but no fader – other than the fader on the mixing desk. A great example of a computer playlist for broadcast is CoolPlay – written by a BBC engineer and I see some guy has it running under Wine.īut then there is paradigm two – I want to fire (note the change from play to fire!) short bursts of audio, maybe repeat them certainly overlap them – now we enter cart world. You get most of these features with a playlist on a computer – you play stuff sequentially – you can move the order around – the only really tricky bit would be cross fades which in a lot of environments may not be necessary. Note your tape machines had a go button and a fader so you can control when audio is played and you can also do real time level adjustments. So for most docs you had an A roll and a B roll tape with alternate tapes on each roll. And generally if you wanted any sort of cross fade at any time you still needed two machines. And so you might for a fixed production like a feature or documentary – but in a fast moving news programme flexibility is key. Now you might ask why not just make a compilation tape of those reels and play it off one machine. A good tape op could get by with two machines but a typical radio studio had at least four or five. In the olden days you approached a ‘show’ with a collection of ‘tapes’, all on different spools – you had multiple expensive Swiss tape machines and your world was divided into the tape that is playing now and the tape that is playing next. And that is because there are already some paradigms for the context of what you want to achieve. Now the simple business of firing audio files from a set of keys is not quite as simple as it looks. The idea is that your computer keyboard (PC and Mac versions available) is a ready made interface and Soundplant allows you to load up a keymap with audio files on your computer and then fire them.

And Marcel’s background in synths and samplers are relevant in the design of Soundplant as the software is a subtle and sophisticated sample player. Soundplant is the work of Marcel Blum, who is a musician, coder and curator, connoisseur and cataloguer and indeed purveyor of rare electronica. I ran into one the other day – the intriguingly entitled Soundplant. The internet is 95% bollocks – literally as well as metaphorically but there are still gems of great price hidden in that wonderful 5%.

It has also been used as a sound design tool in the 2010 film Inception and the BBC television series Doctor Who. It is used by DJs, artists, musicians, sound engineers, broadcasters, and other performers including podcaster Ming Chen, rock band Man or Astro-man?, electroacoustic composer Darren Copeland (who wrote a composition for Soundplant ), breakcore producer Droon, experimental musician Annette Krebs, composer Tom Furgas, and comedy podcast Nobody Likes Onions. Soundplant is a popular digital audio application that allows the mapping of sounds of unlimited length to keys on the QWERTY computer keyboard for use as a software sampler.
