Sononym v1.5.6

Sononym is a sample browser that offers a fresh perspective on how sounds can be explored and organized.

Powerful Sample Discovery
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.The space and chorus effects will make your guitar sing like never before and the filtering effects fit right into the most modern club track.

Similarity Search
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
Duplicate Detection identifies duplicate samples across your libraries. But it doesn’t 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..

AI-Based Categorization
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 ‘snare drums’ or ‘synth pads’. In addition, all sounds are classified as either looped or non-looped (one-shot) sounds.

Organizing & Exporting
Picking out sounds of interest and making them available elsewhere should be an effortless thing to do. But wait, isn’t 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.

Cloudless, Not Clueless
Sononym is fully functional without an internet connection – no clunky ‘online activation’ to deal with, no risk of forgetting to ‘deauthorize’ the software – and we won’t 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.
