What COSMOS Sample Finder does
The plugin scans a folder of WAV, AIF, OGG and FLAC files and assigns tags by instrument, key, BPM and other sonic characteristics, so samples can be sorted without manual labeling. Over 2500 royalty-free samples are included. The tagging runs on Waves Neural Networks technology.
Results can be viewed as a waveform, as a list, or in the COSMOS cluster view. Frequently used samples can be assigned to a favorites list or grouped into collections. Searching for a crack, a keygen or a repack is not needed here: the crack release of this utility circulates as a .rar or .iso, and queries often pair COSMOS Sample Finder with a working serial key, a magnet link or a torrent, but the plugin itself is distributed by Waves for Windows and macOS as VST2, AU and AAX.
Key features
- AI auto-tagging. The AI sort tags all samples on the hard drive, so instrument, key and BPM become searchable without manual entry.
- Three views. Samples can be shown as a waveform, as a list, or in the COSMOS cluster view, which groups similar sounds together.
- Favorites and collections. Often used samples can be assigned to a favorites list, and collections can be created from any selection.
- Descriptive search. Searches such as a saturated kick or a bright reverby drum loop at 120 BPM return matching samples from the tagged library.
- Standalone and CR8 access. The plugin runs as a standalone application and can also be opened from the Waves CR8 sampler.
