Audio Feedback
Earcons are short sounds for requests, actions, and results. They complement the lights during normal agent use, not just Demo and Show. Working and typing stay silent.
Enable Sound
In Desktop, turn on Settings > Sound > Enable sound, or use the speaker button at the top. This setting covers live sessions, Demo, and Show. Desktop remembers your choice. Each browser has its own sound toggle and starts muted.
Sounds play through the computer, phone, or tablet, not the Launchpad. A Launchpad sends MIDI messages; it has no speaker.
Listen to the Sounds
These are the same files used by the app, played here in Session 1's pitch. Other sessions use different pitches so you can distinguish them by ear.
Action sounds follow the bridge's handling of the request, not just a click. Turning sound off never changes agent behavior. Old sounds are not replayed when you reconnect.
CLI
Enable live feedback:
pad-lattice daemon --audio-feedback
Try the guided Demo or the separate creative Show with sound:
pad-lattice demo --audio
pad-lattice show --audio
CLI host audio is independent of Desktop and browser sound. Enable only one output on the same computer to avoid hearing cues twice.
The host needs one of pw-play, paplay, aplay, afplay, or ffplay.
Desktop and browsers use bundled audio files instead.
With MIDI and host audio enabled, the Demo and daemon also speak the scrolling
greeting. Use --no-greeting to skip it.
