Search runs against the audio, not the filename. Spectral shape, envelope, stereo image, key, tempo — every file fingerprinted on your machine.

/ 04 — Discovery
Find samples you
forgot you owned.
Your library already has the sound you're reaching for.
Ask for "atmospheric textures with long tails" or "a complete lo-fi kit at 85 BPM" and Sample Vault pulls a curated set from your entire library or tells you what's missing from the arrangement.
- Curate
- Plain-language collections built from your own files.
- Resurface
- Pulls up samples you haven't touched in months or never opened.
- Diagnose
- Gap analysis: "no mid-range melodic content in this project."
- Adapt
- Learns from what you search, preview and favourite.

/ 06 — Position
The kind of AI
that serves the producer.
You don't need more samples. You need to find the ones you have. Sample Vault's models exist to organise your library, not to replace your taste.
Generate new sounds for you
Listen to and analyse the samples you already own
Make tracks on your behalf
Extract 40+ audio characteristics per file
Train any model on your samples
Build a semantic index of your library
Add anything synthetic to your library
Find sounds you already have, faster
Editorial line — We reject the idea that the producer is what software should automate. The job is to put the right file under your cursor faster. Nothing more.
/ 07 — Pipeline
From a folder
to a searchable library.
Nothing leaves your disk unless you ask and the files stay exactly as you left them.
Point it at your folders.
Add as many sample directories as you like. Sample Vault scans every audio file and builds a local index. Nothing is uploaded, moved, or renamed.
- —WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC and OGG
- —Multiple folders, multiple drives
- —Files stay on disk, untouched

Analyse every file locally.
Each file is analysed on your machine. Key, tempo, brightness, complexity, stereo width — the metadata a file browser can't see. Free, offline, deterministic.
- —Key and scale from the audio itself
- —40+ sonic characteristics per file
- —Filter and sort by any property

Let AI fill in the labels.
An optional AI pass adds genre, mood, instrument, creator, and pack labels — then matches them back to individual samples. Prompt Search runs on top of the whole index.
- —Genre, mood, creator, pack
- —Library size is unlimited — AI indexing is metered
- —If indexing fails, your sample coverage is refunded in full
Heavy, distorted 808 with saturated harmonics and a dark, aggressive bottom end. Sits well in trap and phonk beds.
