What it needs,
what it touches.
Point it at the folders you already keep your samples in. It reads them where they sit and builds its own index alongside.
- Windows
- A processor with AVX2 support, which covers Intel from 2013 onward and AMD from 2015.
- macOS
- Apple Silicon runs the full feature set. Intel Macs run scanning, browsing, playback, key and tempo detection, filtering, and drag into any DAW, but not the on-device models behind Similar Samples, Deep Search, and X-Ray.
- Formats
- Reads WAV, MP3, AIFF, OGG, and FLAC.
- Your files
- They stay where they are. Nothing is moved, renamed, converted, or uploaded. Cloud backup is opt in, per directory, on paid plans.
- Offline
- Scanning, analysis, search, and playback all work with no connection. Only the assistant, the cloud tagging pass, and cloud sync need one.
- Library size
- Uncapped on every plan, including the free one. A library of a few hundred and a library of half a million are the same to it.
