What does soundboard do?
A custom soundboard assigns audio clips to pads that can be triggered instantly by clicking or pressing keys. SoundTools provides twelve overlapping local pads, per-pad trim and volume controls, IndexedDB storage on the current device, and downloadable exports without uploading the selected audio to a server.

FIELD NOTES / 01
A real local processor, not a decorative upload box
Web Audio playback + local IndexedDB runs after you choose a source and explicitly start the operation. The audio samples remain in browser memory; SoundTools does not send the selected media to an application endpoint.
Select one of twelve pads, add a local audio file, adjust its name, start, end, and volume, then trigger it from the grid or assigned keyboard key. Results remain available for preview and download only in the current tab. Closing or refreshing the page releases those temporary objects.

QUESTIONS / PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Questions about this tool
Answers based on the current browser processor—not promises about a future version.
01Is my audio uploaded for processing?
No. Audio samples stay in browser memory. The page may download a codec or model asset, but it does not send the selected file with that request.
02Why can the first run take longer?
This tool uses Web Audio playback + local IndexedDB. A browser may need to download and initialize that runtime before the first operation; later runs can reuse cached assets.
03Can I preview the result before saving?
Yes. Audio-producing tools expose local result players, while analysis and transcription tools show their detected data before download.
04What happens when the browser is unsupported?
The workbench reports the missing capability instead of uploading the media or pretending that processing is still running.
05Does the soundboard keep my sounds after refresh?
Yes, when IndexedDB is available. The audio blobs and pad settings are stored only in this browser profile on the current device.
06Can several soundboard pads play together?
Yes. Pad playback can overlap, and Stop All ends every active sound at once.
