# Using Soundboards

Each Soundboard contains 32 audio slots. Each slot is permanently tied to a hot key displayed in that slot. Drag and drop to add audio to a slot, or drag and drop to the desktop to remove audio. Adding and removing audio is explained more fully in the section called Adding and Removing Audio. To play the audio from a particular slot, press the associated hotkey, or click inside the slot.

Each slot has a popup menu with the option to Edit the audio, Label the slot by color, set the behavior for when the sound finishes - either loop or stop; when the trigger is released - either continue or stop; when triggered again - either start over or stop; show the original file in the Finder, or remove the audio from that slot.

Once loaded, each audio slot has a volume slider, with scroll wheel support, to control the volume of the audio in just that slot. You can set the master volume for all Soundboard audio in the Soundboard Control Drawer. You can also normalize the volume of each audio slot using the editor. The editor is explained more fully in the section called Using the Soundboard Editor.

To create a Soundboard click on the plus button in the top right. You can create up to 64 Soundboards. To delete a Soundboard click on the close button in the tab for that Soundboard.

Click on a Tab to select a Soundboard. If you have more Soundboards than can be displayed via tabs, click on the chevron button to display and select the hidden Soundboards.

You can also use the tab key, or the command } keys to select the next Soundboard, and the command { keys to select the previous Soundboard.

Any Soundboard and its associated sound files can be packaged up into a single file by selecting Export Soundboard from the File menu. To import a Soundboard file, just double click on the .soundboard file, or select Import Soundboard from the File menu.

To name a Soundboard, or edit an existing name, double click inside the tab for that Soundboard.
