A sample manager for automatic sample analysis and clustering, giving you access to properties like key, loudness or tempo of a sample!

Choose a directory on your PC as your sample library (Keybinding: D). Navigate through your samples in a grid that clusters samples by similarity. Select single or multiple tiles on the grid and drag and drop them into the "Favourites" section or into your DAW.

Sample Grid

Press on the cogwheel in the top right corner to access the clustering options.

Show all samples in your library in a table and sort the table columns.

Table View

Search through your sample library in folder view.

Folder View

Navigate through the samples in the grid, table or folder view with the arrow buttons. Use keybindings to switch between folder (Keybinding: 1), table (Keybinding: 2) and grid view (Keybinding: 3). Press (Keybinding: K) to start instant playback of any selected sample and (Keybinding: L) to stop playback.
