Keyboard Soundboard

Have you ever wanted to play the piano and never had the chance? Well, now you can turn your own computer into a playable instrument with an application such as Keyboard Soundboard.

What this software utility actually does is display a virtual keyboard that has most of the keys assigned to different sound files, allowing you to generate different sounds when hitting a button.

Keyboard Soundboard comes in two different flavors. While the installer application requires you to go through a standard setup process, the portable package can be placed in any location or directly on a USB flash drive and launched from there. No traces on the host computer are left behind by the portable application, which is quite convenient. Moreover, you can use it on the go.

When running Keyboard Soundboard, a virtual keyboard is displayed on the screen. The buttons of the real keyboard are mapped to the virtual one and, moreover, a sound file is assigned to each of the keys. Generally, you get to play funny sounds that will make you smile, such as honking horns, whistles, squeaky kisses and toy sounds, male and female voices, and more.

Aside from the defaults, Keyboard Soundboard enables you to add your own sounds by redefining the key associations. You can easily assign any WAV file to any key on the keyboard.

While not particularly useful, Keyboard Soundboard is a fun application to have around, especially to children. It allows you to play sequences of funny sounds on the keyboard, turning your PC’s keyboard into a customizable soundboard.
