Waves COSMOS Sample Finder (Download)

paragraph: Quick—what sound is the sample with filename asdf_#12C.wav? You may not know, but COSMOS does. COSMOS uses an AI neural networks engine to analyze all the samples on your hard drive, and then categorizes and auto-tags the instrument, timbre, style, key, BPM, and sonic characteristics (loop or one-shot, dry or wet, and much more) in its database.

,
paragraph: Need to find a saturated kick? Just type “saturated” and “kick” in COSMOS, and all your saturated kicks will show up, no matter what the files are actually named. Need to find a bright reverby drum loop in 120 BPM? Or a saturated synth sample in F#-minor with a cinematic feel? Just choose the appropriate tags, and COSMOS will deliver the samples you’re after, instantly.

,
heading: Multiple Search Options,
paragraph: Search by Instrument, Tags, Key, and/or BPM. Or, enter a search term. Start a broad search like “keys,” then narrow it down to the keyboard type, and finally, choose from multiple sonic characteristics.

heading: Explore the COSMOS,
paragraph: The COSMOS view creates “clusters” of related one-shots like kick, snare, plucked notes, and so on. Prioritize views of different characters, then click on dots in the clusters to audition—and find—the right sample in seconds.
