Filters

Two surfaces drive what you see in the Sample Browser results: the search bar at the top of the results pane (your master control) and the filter sidebar on the left (for browsing values you don’t already know by name). Both stay in sync. Picking a tag in the sidebar inserts a %tag chip in the search bar; typing @Cmin updates the Key dropdown. For filtering by sonic characteristics like tonality, brightness, or stereo width, use the Sound Profile tab inside the sidebar — or type characteristic tokens directly (atk:30-80, bright:0-50).

Search bar (master control)

Every filter can be expressed as a typed token. See Search Syntax for the full grammar — short prefixes like %tag, $genre, &creator, +pack, * (favorites), and long forms like category:, collection:, sort:, plus all 16 sound profile characteristics. Selected filters render as colored chips inside the input. Click any chip to remove it. The × button on the right clears every filter at once. The smart suggestion dropdown helps you discover values without typing the syntax: type two characters of a name and pick from the grouped list of matching tags / genres / creators / packs / collections. The same dropdown also surfaces field shortcuts (creator:, pack:, etc.) so you can learn the syntax by using it.

Filter sidebar

The collapsible sidebar on the left holds value pickers for browsing. Use it when you don’t already know which tag, creator, or pack you want — the sidebar lists every value with sample counts. Sections, top to bottom:
  • Category — filter by directory or virtual directory, with drill-in chips
  • BPM range — minimum and maximum tempo
  • Key & Scale — musical key (C, D#, F, etc.) and scale (major, minor, modal)
  • Collections — jump to a saved collection, or create a new one (AI Collections available on paid plans)
  • Sample Pack and Creator — filter by detected pack or artist
  • Type — loops, one-shots, or all
  • Sort — newest, oldest, relevance, name A→Z, BPM ascending/descending
  • Genres — AI-detected or manually assigned
  • Tags — your custom tags plus auto-generated ones
The sidebar is hideable: click the panel icon in the toolbar to collapse it for full-width browsing. The search bar remains visible regardless of sidebar state, so you never lose your filtering surface.
Rename or delete library-wide: right-click any tag or genre chip — in the sidebar or in the Sample Info pane — and choose Rename or Delete. Rename updates the value on every sample that has it; Delete strips it from every sample after a confirmation.

Filter presets

The Presets button (bookmark icon) in the toolbar lets you save and reload filter combinations.
  • Save current filters — name and store the active state
  • Pick a saved preset from the dropdown to restore it
  • Click the × next to a preset name to delete it
Presets capture every active filter — tokens in the search bar, sidebar selections, sort order, and sound profile slider positions.
