16 PADS
The four rows map to 1234, QWER, ASDF and ZXCV. Triggering a pad sends its assigned sound and image together.

When this helps
This sampler is not for waveform chopping. Put sound and image on the same pad, then fire them together during a stream, live set or recorded visual take.
Send images to screen from sixteen pads
IMAGE PAD TRIGGER assigns images to sixteen pads. Use a separate output window to keep the controls away from the live display.
First five steps
- Choose one of the sixteen pads.
- Turn AUTO ASSIGN on and load AUDIO or IMAGE files into empty pads.
- Set PAD NAME, LEVEL, PITCH and LOW PASS.
- Choose CUT, FADE, PUNCH or FLASH for the image entrance.
- Open OUTPUT WINDOW and perform with pads or keyboard keys.
Basic controls
AUTO ASSIGN / PAD SETUP
Place several audio or image files across empty pads without overwriting media already assigned to those pad types.
OUTPUT STAGE
The stage shows the last triggered image. OUTPUT WINDOW opens a visual-only window that stays in sync with pad performance.
MASTER
Control overall level, low-pass filtering and echo. Turn off KEEP LAST IMAGE when pads without images should clear the stage.
IMAGE ENTRY
CUT switches immediately, FADE blends in, PUNCH returns from a larger scale, and FLASH adds a brief burst of light.
STOP ALL / BLACKOUT
STOP ALL silences active sounds and BLACKOUT clears the visual output. Learn both positions before a live take.
Practical setups
Stream scene changes
Put the most important pads in the upper left. Image-only and audio-only pads are both useful; not every pad needs a pair.
Live hits
Use CUT for drums and short voice hits, then PUNCH for a low-end drop. Keep FLASH for deliberate cues rather than continuous tapping.
External display
Move OUTPUT WINDOW to the display first, then trigger all sixteen pads once to check orientation, transition and level.
Save and export
Loaded local images and audio are cleared on reload, and the output window closes. Keep the source files ready and avoid reloading during a live use.
What this tool does not do
- This tool focuses on one sound or pattern task rather than final mixing.
- Keep output level conservative before pushing feedback, drive or repeated effects.
