SonikStation have released SonikSearch 2.0, available fot $89.00.
SonicSearch is a professional sample library manager for music producers and sound designers. Browse, search, analyze, and audition your entire sample collection — as a standalone app or directly inside your DAW.
Import, tag, group, and browse — everything you need to keep even the largest collections under control.
- Import Folders – Import audio samples with automatic recursive scanning. All subfolders are detected and processed.
- Places – Pin your favorite sample library locations for quick access. Refresh a Place to detect and import only new sounds.
- Folder Browser – Navigate deep folder structures with a collapsible tree view, right from the app.
- Collections & Tags – Organize samples into custom color-coded collections. Create and assign tags with batch tagging support.
- Bulk Metadata Editing – Update BPM, key, and tags across entire folders at once. No more editing samples one at a time.
- Drag & Drop + Verification – Drag samples into your DAW or file manager. Detect and clean up missing or moved files with sample verification.
Select any sample and instantly find others that sound like it. Fine-tune what “similar” means to you by adjusting the weight of each quality.
- Brightness— spectral character
- Warmth— low-end presence
- Crest Factor— dynamic range
- Harmonicity— tonal vs. noisy
- Attack— transient sharpness
- RMS— perceived loudness
- Duration— sample length
- Timbre— overall tonal color
- Pitch— musical key and pitch content
Results update live as you drag the sliders. Pitch matching understands musical key relationships — it knows that C major and G major are closely related, and that C major and A minor are relative keys.
SonikSearch 2.0 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and standalone).
