PadDeck v2.0.0

Soundboard has been renamed to PadDeck!

What's New

  • Playable Instruments — assign pads as instruments (Piano, Guitar, Strings, Drums, and more) with chromatic note layout across the grid. Includes instrument status bar overlay and full Launchpad support
  • Project Bundle Sharing — export projects as .soundboard bundles and import them on other machines. Includes file association so double-clicking a bundle opens PadDeck automatically
  • iOS Support — PadDeck now targets both macOS 14+ and iOS 17+
  • Live Vocal Pads — real-time mic effects (reverb, delay, pitch shift, distortion) triggered via pad press/release with Launchpad dry/wet scene button control (introduced in v1.1.0)
  • Microphone Gain Slider — adjustable mic input gain in Settings

Breaking Changes

  • App renamed from Soundboard to PadDeck (bundle ID: com.paddeck.app)
  • XY Performance Pad mode removed
  • ZIPFoundation added as a new dependency

Download & Install

  1. Download PadDeck-v2.0.0-macOS.zip below
  2. Unzip the archive
  3. Drag PadDeck.app to your /Applications folder
  4. If upgrading from Soundboard, you can remove the old Soundboard.app

Running an unsigned app on macOS

This app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate. macOS will block it by default. To allow it to run:

  1. Try to open the app — you'll see a dialog saying it "can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software"
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
  3. Scroll down — you'll see a message about PadDeck being blocked
  4. Click "Open Anyway"
  5. Confirm in the follow-up dialog

You only need to do this once. After that, the app will open normally.

Requirements

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
