The audio pad app “Guerrilla Sample Box” is written using the ios 5 sdk and AVAudioPlayer class from AVFoundation.
The app source code can be downloaded from the Pumpún github repository
The part of the code that deals with the audio pad interface and sound manipulation is located at PMPPlayViewController.m. The process of playing sounds is quite simple, and can be divided in 2:
First, a NSMutableArray is created, which holds several AVAudioPlayer objects, one per sound. They are initiated with a pathForResource.
Second, a playButtonPressed method is created, which is fired from buttons located at PlayView nib. Each time they are pressed all sounds are stopped, and the sound related to the tag property of the button starts playing.
