Quick Deck
Big picture pads on your Dashboard that you press by hand during a stream
A card of big picture pads on your Dashboard for the moments you want to set off yourself: a meme sound, a thank-you line, skipping an alert. A pad runs any list of action steps an event can.
Try pressing the pads above, or press 1 to 9 on your keyboard.
Press a pad
Click a pad, or reach it with Tab and press Enter or Space. While the Dashboard is open, the number keys 1 to 9 and 0 press the first ten pads, and each of those pads shows its key on the tile.
A playing pad shows a ring and a Stop button. Stop all in the card's header stops every pad at once.
The number keys stand down while you type in a field, while a dialog is open, and while you rearrange the Dashboard. They also ignore Ctrl, Alt and Cmd, so your other shortcuts keep working.
Make pads from sound files
Drop MP3, WAV, OGG or M4A files on the card. Each file becomes a sound pad named after the file, with its own color. If the deck fills up, the files that do not fit are left out and the card tells you.
Add a pad
Open a new pad
Click Edit pads, then Add pad. On an empty deck, click Add your first pad.
Name it and pick a look
Type a Name and choose a Color. Under Picture, pick an Emoji, upload an Image, or choose a Gift to show its picture. Images can be PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP; a GIF keeps moving and must be under 4 MB.
Choose what it does
Under When pressed, add action steps: play a sound, speak a line, show media, press a VTube Studio hotkey, run an app command, and anything else an event can do. The steps can run in order, all at once, or one at random.
Test and save
Click Test to run the pad before you keep it. When it does what you want, click Save pad.
Under More options, Pad volume scales every sound the pad plays and every line it speaks, and Pad is on switches the pad off without removing it. A pad that is off stays on the deck but does nothing.
Start from the six starter pads
A new install comes with six pads: two spoken lines (Thank you! and Let's go!), Skip alert, Skip speech, and Applause and Laugh. The last two say Needs a sound; pressing one opens its editor so you can choose a file.
Fix a pad that needs something
A pad that is missing something says so in red under its name, with a red mark on the tile. Rest the pointer on any pad, or reach it with Tab, to see what it does step by step. For a pad that needs something, the same card says what is missing and how to fix it. Pressing a pad with nothing set up opens its editor.
Arrange the deck
In edit mode, drag pads into order, or move the focused pad with Alt+Arrow keys. Pads per row sets how many sit in a row, from 3 to 8, or Auto to fit as many as the card allows. Click Done when you finish. Clicking a pad in edit mode opens it for editing.
Right-click a pad to Play or stop it, edit it, duplicate it, switch it off, pick its Color, move it, or delete it. A pad deleted from the menu shows a notice with Undo that puts it back where it was. Right-click the card's empty space to add a pad, enter edit mode, stop all pads or change the pads per row.
Press pads from anywhere
Two app commands reach the deck: deck.press presses a pad by its name or id,
and deck.stopAll stops every pad. Use them from a global hotkey, an event's
App command step or the Local API. Hotkeys and command steps let you pick the
pad from a list that shows each pad's picture and name.
Pause and Panic
While Vfinity is paused, pads do not start; anything already playing carries on. Panic stops every pad that is playing.
Backups and stream profiles include your pads with their sounds and pictures.
