Now you do n’t need a Mac to dally gaga sound effects . Ambrosia Software ’s Soundboard app , already a Mac app that lets you assign sound effects to each headstone on your keyboard , has arrived on the App Store asa $ 20 iPad app .
Soundboard is great for broadcaster , podcasters , and DJs , and we apply it ( combine with Ambrosia ’s $ 129 Wiretap Anywhere ) for certain installment of the Macworld Podcast . Now you may piece an iPad into anactual , forcible soundboard and use it to flirt back jingles or sound effect , turning that tab into the modern equivalent of an old - fashioned cart automobile .

Soundboard for iPad can apply Soundboard files copied over from the Mac variation , or you could load up audio files aright onto the iPad and than add them to the interface . All the intimate Soundboard for Mac features are there , including colouring - coding of clips , dousing , looping , and volume control .

This is n’t the last Soundboard newsworthiness from Ambrosia , either : The company ’s working on another iPad app that will function as a remote - control for the Mac version of Soundboard . ( It look more or less like Soundboard for iPad , but triggers the sound outcome on the remote Mac instead of playing them itself . ) That ’s great if your Mac is wired into your studio , but the soul operating the reasoned effects does n’t want to ( or ca n’t ) sit right at the keyboard . According to Ambrosia , that version should ( pending approval ) seem in the App Store in the next week or so .
