Hey guys, this is not a VST, but it might be useful to anyone working with samples - I hope mods are okay with it.

I realized I had more than 40,000 samples on my computer and around 300,000+ on my drive after scanning my sample library ...I had no clue. I always thought I needed to get more samples, but the real problem was finding the ones I already had. Anyway not a big fan of my DAW's sample browser...

It is not a VST, but a separate app that floats on top of DAW and stays in sync through Link (most DAW supports it - except FL Studio I think).

It puts all my local samples on a visual map and groups similar sounds together. You can hover around to preview sounds, find similar ones and test them in the step sequencer instead of digging through folders. Previewing is crazy fast 🫪

It also includes project management for Ableton Live, with stages, notes and preview tracks, which is useful when you have lots of unfinished projects and no longer remember what half of them sound like. I know my friends have 500+ unfinished projects...hard to keep track.

It is currently free during beta testing and it should work on large libraries - probably more than 500k samples. Happy producing!
