Once assigned, the audio can be instantly played by pressing the key. It's simple once the Soundplant interface is open, you can click on any one of the 72 keyboard keys and open the sound file you want designated to that key. With this free software you can assign sound files in virtually any format and length to the keyboard keys of your choosing.
