64-pad soundboard with one-tap handoff to SATK Easy Editor for trim and R128. Send any pad over, get it back into the same slot. Save the whole show as one file.
SATK Instant Player is a 64-pad soundboard for live shows,
theatre, podcasts and studio work — built to work hand-in-hand
with its companion app SATK Easy Editor. Tap to play, tap again
to stop. Stack voices in MULTI mode, replace them with cross-
fade in SINGLE mode. Save the entire show — every audio file,
every setting — into a single .satkip bundle and reload it in
seconds on a different iPad.
WORKS WITH SATK EASY EDITOR — THE FLAGSHIP FEATURE
Instant Player and SATK Easy Editor are designed as a pair.
From inside your show, tap CHOOSE, pick the pad you want to
clean up, and the audio is sent over to Easy Editor. Trim the
silence, fine-tune the cut points with sample-accurate handles,
normalise to broadcast-grade EBU R128 (-23 LUFS) with
inter-sample peak protection — then tap SEND BACK. Instant
Player springs to the foreground and drops the edited audio
straight back into the same pad, with cue point and colour
preserved. No exporting, no file-juggling, no broken takes.
Editing a cue takes seconds, and your show file stays the
single source of truth.
KEY FEATURES
• 64 pads in 4 banks (A / B / C / D), 16 slots per bank.
• Tap to play, tap to stop. Pads show a green progress ring
while playing.
• MULTI mode: pads stack — every tap adds another voice.
• SINGLE mode: any tap stops everything else, like a classic
studio cart machine. Cross-fades when FADE > 0.
• FADE button cycles OFF / SHORT / MEDIUM / LONG (0.5 / 1.5 /
4 s) for musical pad-stop and pad-change.
• AUTO-CUE skips leading silence so cues fire on the first
audible sample.
• LOOP toggle for beds and ambient material.
• Master volume on iPad. iPhone uses the device volume keys.
• Save / load complete shows as portable .satkip bundles —
manifest plus all 24-bit WAVs in one ZIP file. AirDrop the
bundle to another iPad and the show is ready.
• Hardware keyboard support: 1234 / QWER / ASDF / ZXCV trigger
the 16 visible pads, F5–F8 switch banks, Esc stops everything.
• Universal — iPhone (portrait + landscape) and iPad (all four
orientations).
• Dark interface tuned for live use. No ads, no analytics,
no account.
USE CASES

between scenes.

sessions.
