About Sononym
Sononym is a sample browser that offers a fresh perspective on how sounds can be explored and organized. The software is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Sononym extracts a great deal of information from your samples and puts this information at your fingertips, including 'exotic' properties that you might not find elsewhere, perceived brightness, crest factor, and timbre, to name a few. Combine this with powerful tools for searching, filtering, and sorting samples, and you might just fall in love with your sample collection all over again. Similarity search enables you to find similar-sounding samples in your sample collection. Basically, pick any sound as input and "see where it takes you", finding variations has never been this easy. The software can even record live audio and use these recordings to find new samples. Duplicate detection identifies duplicate samples across your libraries.

Sample Vault
Sample Vault is a desktop sample browser for producers whose libraries have outgrown their filenames. Point it at your folders and it analyses every file, reading key, tempo, loudness, stereo width, and sonic character, so you can search by describing a sound instead of remembering what you called the file.
Drop a track into X-Ray and it lines up the closest sounds you already own.
It doesn't sell sounds and doesn't generate audio. The whole job is finding what's already on your drive. Local analysis is free and runs on your machine, with nothing uploaded; an optional AI pass adds genres, creators, and pack names for deeper search.
Sample Vault runs on Windows and macOS, drags into any DAW, and auditions in tempo with Ableton Link.
