Mutal Toolkit is the production sound mixer's daily companion — one app for everything you need on set. Frequency coordination, script reading, sound triggers, audio playback, file slicing, metadata — all connected in a single workspace, organized by project. RF — FREQUENCY COORDINATION Build a clean frequency plan for your entire wireless fleet in seconds. The engine scans for local broadcast transmitters, calculates intermodulation products and returns the best available frequencies — drawing from a comprehensive database of wireless devices. Share your RF setup with your team in PRO: invite collaborators by email or SMS from the project manager; transmitters, frequencies and shooting locations stay in sync across devices, with view-only or edit permissions. See supported countries at www.mutal.fr. SCRIPT — SCRIPT READER Drop in a PDF: dialogues, roles and scenes are detected automatically. View stats by role and by scene. Annotate, highlight, jump between scenes. Pin sound pads directly onto your script for instant playback. Full-screen mode with auto-scroll, cue system and Bluetooth foot pedal support. TRIG — SOUND TRIGGERS Tap-to-play sound pads with polyphony, loops, solo, mute, pan and per-pad EQ. Organize pads into banks or pin them directly onto your scripts. PLAY — AUDIO PLAYER Play back polyphonic audio files with markers, actions (stop, skip, cue, loop), BEXT timecode, LTC output (iPad only), auto-gain, 3-band EQ, time-stretch and vari-speed. Controllable from SCRIPT. SLICE — AUDIO SLICER Split recordings into selections — manually or with automatic detection. Name clips with Speech-to-Text. Export to Trig or as WAV, AIFF or M4A. FILES (iPad only) Inspect and edit embedded metadata from professional recorders, audition multichannel files instantly and bounce polyphonic files with configurable channel routing. PROJECTS Group scripts, tracks, trigger banks, RF plans and locations into projects. Import and export entire projects in one step. Brand names and models are trademarks of their respective owners.
