Find similar
Use a sound as the anchor and retrieve perceptually related candidates. Best when the current kick, impact, vocal, or texture is close—but not final.
Audio-to-audio discovery
Similarity solves replacement. Complement solves arrangement.
Start from any sound. Retrieve close alternatives, steer the result toward a verbal quality, search for a contrasting partner, or blend two references into a new retrieval direction.

Choose the relationship you actually need.
“Show me more like this” is only one creative question.
Refine a reference
Add “more acoustic,” “less harsh,” or another short direction. Sample combines the reference vector with independently embedded text concepts.
Find complementary
Look for a sound that can occupy a useful contrasting role instead of another near-duplicate. This is exploratory retrieval, not an automatic mix guarantee.
Blend two references
Choose two sounds and search the area between their semantic representations. Useful when one has the right body and another has the right texture.
Blend references
“The weight of A. The texture of B.”
Instead of writing a perfect prompt, pick two concrete examples. Sample interpolates between their audio embeddings and searches the existing library around the blend.
A+B
A retrieval direction—not audio synthesis
Blend does not merge waveforms or create a new sample. It ranks existing files that share qualities with both references.
Use locks with musical intent.
More constraints are not always better. Confidence-aware locks are most useful when tempo or tonality is structurally important.
| Situation | Recommended action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Replace a drum loop | Find similar + Lock BPM | Keeps candidates within ±10 BPM of an eligible reference. |
| Replace a tonal loop | Find similar + Lock Key | Matches the same normalized key or relative major/minor when confidence and explicit mode qualify. |
| Replace a one-shot snare | Find similar; leave BPM unlocked | BPM is commonly inapplicable to one-shots and should not shrink the result set. |
| Find an opposing texture | Complementary or “less like” steering | A near-neighbor can stack poorly when the arrangement needs contrast. |
What similarity means here.
Clear boundaries prevent a productive feature from turning into magical thinking.
Semantic and perceptual relation
Results tend toward sounds humans might describe alike across source, texture, timbre, impact, density, or mood.
Beat or groove alignment
Similarity does not align transients, time-stretch loops, detect copyright, or promise identical rhythm patterns.
Arrangement compatibility
Audition in context. Complement and blend improve exploration, but only your track can establish whether a sound belongs.
