About the software<\/span><\/h2>\nSononym 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 Mac OS X.<\/p>\n
Sononym extracts a great deal of information from your samples and puts this information at your fingertips, including \u2018exotic\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
Similarity search enables you to find similar-sounding samples in your sample collection. Basically, pick any sound as input and \u201csee where it takes you\u201d \u2013 finding variations has never been this easy. The software can even record live audio and use these recordings to find new samples.<\/p>\n
Duplicate Detection identifies duplicate samples across your libraries. But it doesn\u2019t just detect identical sounds: by leveraging our Similarity Search technology it also looks for sounds that are nearly identical. So if you happen to own a sample pack with .wav and .aiff versions of every sample, you can use Duplicate Detection to streamline things, and potentially free up some disk space in the process..<\/p>\n
While analyzing your samples, the software uses machine learning to categorize the content. The default set of categories in Sononym are broadly based around electronic music production and describe distinctive groups of sounds such as \u2018snare drums\u2019 or \u2018synth pads\u2019. In addition, all sounds are classified as either looped or non-looped (one-shot) sounds.<\/p>\n
Picking out sounds of interest and making them available elsewhere should be an effortless thing to do. But wait, isn\u2019t that what we have copy-paste for? True, but sometimes your project demands that you keep track of the file origin, that certain naming conventions are enforced, etc. In Sononym, this is the purpose of Projects: to bookmark, organize and export in a single workflow.<\/p>\n
Sononym is fully functional without an internet connection \u2013 no clunky \u2018online activation\u2019 to deal with, no risk of forgetting to \u2018deauthorize\u2019 the software \u2013 and we won\u2019t offer to upload your samples somewhere either. Sononym aims to be your deserted-island sample browser. That said, you are of course free to point your cloud-synchronized folders at Sononym: this is the 21st century, after all.<\/p>\n
