More control over large audio libraries.
BardBerry v0.1.16 focuses on track themes, smoother libraries and calmer menu behavior for game masters with many prepared sounds.
The audio side of the table in one local app.
BardBerry separates sound direction from map work. It focuses on mixer control, track library, combat switching and soundboards so audio stays fast during play.
Live Mixer
Run music, ambience and combat channels with clear volume controls.
Combat Mode
Switch quickly into a prepared combat atmosphere.
SFX Boards
Keep short sound effects ready in local board slots.
Scene Deck
Save reusable soundscape states for recurring scenes.
Track Themes
Organize larger libraries with useful track assignments.
Music, ambience, combat and SFX stay reachable at a glance.
BardBerry is designed for repeated table use: fewer browser tabs, fewer last-minute searches and a calmer surface for prepared sounds.
- Assign local tracks to music, ambience or combat roles.
- Store scenes and reapply them when a location or mood returns.
- Trigger short sound effects from a dedicated board.
Scenes, SFX and combat switching as a prepared package.
