The software uses machine learning to organize your sample library, including features for recording, feature extraction (audio analysis), searchable and sortable file/results views, and a streamlined user interface.
Features:
- Deep audio analysis?: extracts pitch, tempo, brightness etc. from samples.
- Self-organizing content?: Automatically groups samples into relevant categories,
such as loops and oneshots, kicks or snares. - Similarity Search?: A unique and powerful way to discover variations of any sound.
- Live recording?: Quickly and easily find samples based on any input sound.
- Integrated bookmarking and export?: Don’t lose the creative flow while browsing.
- Cross-platform?: Sononym is available for Windows, Linux and OS X
Price and Availability
Sononym 1.0 is available now for 89 Euro, or US $99. A fully functional 30-day demo version is also available.
First Atlas and now this I´m glad that I have waited seems much deeper than the version from algonaut.. And saved 10 €
EDIT: Its no vst version avaible only standalone so no buy!
+1 for Atlas
sounds like one day my biggest gripe about sampling might one day not be an issue… but i’d have to see how it handled glitch, industrial and home field recordings.
Great idea, and I’ve certainly been having a blast with Atlas from Algonaut so this got my attention. But Sononym’s workflow doesn’t look like it’d work for me with having to drag each hit out to Live. Atlas has the VST that can receive (and send) MIDI so it’s trivial to hook it up to a drum rack in Live and get jamming. And it still has the option to drag and drop samples into a Simper, etc. That ease of workflow and it’s UI makes it a fun app to interact with. I’m finding and using samples in all sorts of ways I’d never think of (even if some of them are in totally wrong categories).
+1 to adding a VST version. Would be an instant buy for me. Or licensing the tech to a DAW or two (this would make an amazing sample browser).
Could someone pinch me?
Great looking application!
As a producer, composer and programmer, working in the studio, I often have to be quick on the button and while this does look impressive, I can agree with the previously mentioned requests for having a vst version to streamline workflow.
I have a great set of tools which allow for me to quickly peruse my library which is comprised of probably over a million sounds (or very close) but as organized as I am, SONONYM looks to be an amazing solution to expedite “the process”.
