Gibellini Soundboard
GIbellini Soundboard - Professional Audio Trigger System
Transform your MIDI controllers and computer keyboard into a powerful soundboard for live performances, streaming, podcasts, and content creation.
Why GIbellini Soundboard?
I’m a live stage performer who plays music for improv shows, and for years I’ve been triggering sounds on Windows during performances. Existing tools never quite worked for me: full production suites like Reason were far too expensive and complete overkill, while lighter programs often struggled with caching issues and randomly stopped playing sounds.
Most soundboard apps I tried were either too limited, didn’t support MIDI keyboards, couldn’t distinguish between multiple input devices, or were priced absurdly high for what they offered.
So I decided to build the soundboard I always needed — simple, reliable, MIDI-friendly, and tailored for real-time performance.
GIbellini Soundboard is a professional Windows application that lets you trigger audio samples instantly using MIDI controllers (like the Akai APC, MINI, APC KEY) or your computer keyboard. Perfect for musicians, streamers, podcasters, DJs, and content creators who need reliable, low-latency sound triggering.

I typically respond within 24 hours on business days.
I’m a small independent developer, so the app is currently not digitally signed with a commercial code-signing certificate.
Because of that, Windows may show a warning the first time you run it — this is normal for indie software.
🪟 How to run the app on Windows
- Download the ZIP file and extract it anywhere.
- Launch the
.exefile. - If you see a “Windows protected your PC” message:
- click “More info”,
- then click “Run anyway.”
After this one-time confirmation, the app will run normally without additional prompts.
