Sound Pads

The RODECaster Pro comes with three “banks” of sounds available via the sound pad. These sounds and music beds can be played as part of your broadcast. Bank #1 are the RODECaster default sound effects, Bank #2 feature the News Open and News Close sounders as well as two different music beds for each format. Your school will be able to add eight sounds, music beds, or other effects to Bank #3.


To play a sound, simply press a button. Pressing again stops that sound. To load sounds into Sound Bank #3, your school will need to download the RODECaster Pro companion app for Windows or MAC.
