"Soundplant is a self-contained digital audio performance program that turns your computer keyboard into a fully customizable sample-triggering device (yes, your QUERTY keyboard!). It allows the assignment of sound files of unlimited size to virtually any keyboard keys, with no external devices needed and no MIDI involved. It can be used as a drum pad, to add a live track to an already made song, to mix together tracks in realtime, to create music or loops from scratch, to quickly sketch sound designs, to give new life to old sounds, or as a performance, presentation, or installation tool. Because it is not a synthesizer and instead uses your own digital samples (it's a 'software sampler'), Soundplant is a virtually limitless electronic instrument. A simple graphic interface provides for drag-and-drop, point-and-click configuration of each key, including several options which control the way each sound is triggered, along with pitch, offsets, looping, volume, and panning. Sounds can be easily batch assigned across multiple keys at varying pitches and offsets, and keyboard configurations can be saved and loaded." - http://www.soundplant.org/about.htm

It's portable "out of the box" and writes to a .cfg and .ini file in the program directory.
The current beta is not portable, but I wrote the author and he replied that he will re-introduce some option for portability in the next version of the beta!

Hmm, that's actually a pretty concise description!

Re: Soundplant
Old thread update:
The program is out of beta and still seeing updates as recent as Jan 2016. Unfortunately the program functionality for free users is fairly limited http://www.soundplant.org/support.htm and for personal use only.
