I´m looking for a program which plays samples on a keystroke.
Multiple samples to choose from which will play with a keystroke for my summerparty to live things up.

You can simply use the Play command that comes along with MorphOS and add a keyboard shortcut to Ambient via keyboard settings with a command like this to play a sample:

Code:

Ambient_Play_Sample_20250609.png

Or if you want something fancier, it shouldn't be too hard to make a simple program, which could have an editable list of samples in a window with definable hotkeys for each sample, or something like that. I could take a look if there isn't a similar program available and you would like the idea...

Thanks!
Works for me would be nicer if I had a fancy program like you discribed.

Would it be enough to have the samples played when the program window is active? So that hotkeys would only work inside the program, but not globally if you're using other apps?

Yes that would work ok for me.

On my Site you can find a simple Soundplayer in Beebase. Not a fancy look, but hey, it works.
The program uses Sox as player.
You can easily change the program to your need.
You can find it here: https://tommaaktmuziek.nl/Beebase/Soundplayer.bbs
Don´t forget to install Beebase first
Let me hear when you find the program useful.

Haha, did an explanation how to use "play" in Ambient, only to read back cyfm already mentioned it :P

Didn't have as much time as I hoped, but here's the first test version. Made in a hurry and haven't tested it thorough, and still some ideas to implement. But as I don't have time for it in the next days, I'll share it for you now :)

Nice one jPV, seems to do the job well!

EDIT: heh, just spotted weird bug: added sounds, removed them, added new sounds...and the old (previous) sounds are played instead of the listed new sounds ;)

Hehe, nice. :)

Now, add big square buttons with pictures + keyboard shortcut and make a soundboard! If only we had touchscreens. :)

I just downloaded the Beta will do nicely! big thanks for everyone helping!
