Heyo! I dunno about you, but I can’t remember the difference between all the different sample sounds in Sonic Pi. My day job is as a web dev, so I threw this together today: > **[Sonic Pi Soundboard](https://sonicpiboard.netlify.app/)** It’s very much a 0.1.0 website, but it gets the job done for now. If you like it and would like to see something added to it, feel free to reach out or do a pull request to the repo! > **[DarthOstrich/sonic-piboard](https://github.com/DarthOstrich/sonic-piboard)** > > Soundboard for Sonic Pi Samples. Contribute to DarthOstrich/sonic-piboard development by creating an account on GitHub. It’s built with Svelte, in case anyone was wondering. Enjoy! ---

NIFTY ! It would be nice to have similar for the synth sounds … ---

Agreed. I’m not entirely sure if that can be easily pulled off on the web though. There’s probably a way, but that’s beyond my skillset. It doesn’t seem like there’s a web version of SuperCollider. ---

You would have to use the Sonic-Pi ’ record ’ function , to make your own samples . ---

Yeah, it’s a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately. ---

Is there something different about the samples supplied ? I never use them , so know nada about them . ---

Nah, it’s not an issue with the samples. The problem is that I’d have to recreate the entire Sonic Pi app in the browser to get the synths to work, which I don’t think is possible. ---

Why not … 1. record the synth 2. take the sample and use in the same format you used ? ---

So just a single note for all the synths? That seems reasonable. ---

Hi @modulo, Sorry but I can’t see the interest of your little app… you can easily create a function into sonic pi on a side buffer to listen to each built-in samples right ? So could you explain how you feel the need of your app ? If you want to improve your board, may i suggest to add a filter at the top of it into an input field to access fast to a sample. Of course only the name of the possible samples would be proposed. Cheers. ---

There is, admittedly, a potentially helpful use case for this - folks could check out the available sounds without having to download the app for example 😄 ---

Agreed with @ethancrawford. Thanks for your efforts with this @modulo 🙂 I look forward to seeing how this evolves. ---

All good. The problem this little app solves is reducing a four-step process into one. You can easily “browse” through all of the samples at once. I agree the filter would be nice, as there are A LOT of samples. I appreciate the input. Thank you @samaaron and @ethancrawford! I’m looking for ways to improve it 😃 ---

Hi @modulo. This is cool. I would suggest you could also give each a personality. If there was a visual mnemonic like a generated icon that one could associate and help remember whats what that would be helpful. [This site](http://identicon.net/) can generate them for you. So :ambi\_choir becomes ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/9/92c0dc43285f1a9fe636dc484317dd6ed7eaf471.png) :ambi\_dark\_woosh becomes ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/3/338082c2dd6ce027d55eb2049b027f929cd3f8e3.png) etc… Maybe there’s a better mnemonic where different parts of the icon mean different things, grouped by color, etc. Just a suggestion. No pressure. 😅 ---

That’s a really cool site! I’m curious what the purpose of the icon is? Are you planning on memorizing all 166 samples? lol ---

Put a face to the sound I guess. Maybe it’s more memorable than the name. It would be even cooler if you could find a way to codify the ‘feel’ of the sound in a picture. Similar to how a spectrogram does for voices. Once you know [how to read](http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~robh/howto.html#) it you can tell what it is at a glance. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/0/0713bbc98d8556972185c7590e737367b35bc176.png) Total tangent but vaguely applicable - sound visuals.

Nice! Those are definitely pretty cool. A bit outside the scope of this project though. [Next page](https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/sonic-pi-soundboard/4536.md?page=2)
