No need to re-invent the wheel unless the below program doesn't have the features you need. Not sure what the max amount of sounds you can store in it, but it worked great for me.

How many cues do you have? I'm not sure of a true equivalent, but you could look at any basic DJ program with a matrix sfx panel.
Interested to know what you come up with. Hope you find what you're looking for.
I really, really like the "Custom Soundboard" android app for my tablet - super basic, just "a grid of squares you can assign your own MP3s and labels to." Does exactly what I need it to, does it well, does it at the table.
You could download something like this and just put in the sound files yourself.
Great idea! And whilst I know the “I’m pressing PAUSE!” version of this works well enough… I’ve always wanted to put something together using actual remote control and bluetooth headphones. (At least until bluetooth enabled brain implants become a thing. ;)
The only reasons I’ve not done it is because it’s quite a lot of work, (Well… as much as you want to put into it) requires a subbie who’s into memorizing long lists of commands and so niche that it’d never pay for itself. We’re definitely talking about a passion project here.
However… If I had unlimited time and wasn’t such a lazybones when it came to creating hypnotic tools (That will take tens of hours to put together and never make you any money :P) here’s what I’d do:
Start out with a receptive subject who has a good memory when it comes to recalling and responding to lists of instructions. Someone with a robot / remote control fetish is ideal because they’ll want to respond to the file as powerfully as possible. Other subjects will be fine… but the more into it they are, the more fun you’ll both have. Once you have them, you will need the following:
EXAMPLES
Then you want...
Discuss with your subject in advance:
Then create your remote control soundboard accordingly! Have your subject get into a nice programmable robot mindset and “install” the commands.
I might put something together for a HypnoDolls movie at some future date... (As it’s far more likely I’ll find a performer who can pull everything off with a couple of takes than an in-person subbie who’s super into robo play.) But I don’t want to overpromise and under-deliver, so it’s still pipe-dream territory for now.
Though if anyone fancies commenting with their own ideas for robotic suggestions or recommended files for setting everything up, please do!
Cheers!
Maybe too late for tonight but Custom Soundboard (Andro iX) does most of what you probably need very simply.
My only annoyance is it only plays one cue at a time unless you set a cue to infinite repeat.
EDIT: Or there's Custom Soundboard Creator (Hipxel) or Custom SoundBoard (Project Trinity) or Soundboard Creator Soundpad (Tim L.)
I've not had a chance to play with them all yet (its 3:30am and I'm in bed!) but the one by Hipxel looks the most "pro featured" (it can play several samples at once without having to loop them. Some or all of them will need purchasing to remove the ads.
(Edited again to add developer names to the links as the similar names were confusing me!)
