AudioMap

Audio Map is an innovative sample-mapper-player plugin that expands on visual mapping ideas from tools like XO, Atlas, or Abyss. Samples are displayed as dots in an multi catergory XY map, playable and selectable by hovering with the mouse, curves or draw freehand-lines.

Core Features

Curve and Path Drawing: Draw curves or freehand paths to flexibly auto-map samples to keys—combinations possible for creative layering. XY Coordinates: Map sorted by properties like sample length, noisiness, brightness or other ones; global Attack/Release to quick shorten or declick Samples; Polyphonic; Quantisation.

Analysis & Loading

Load sample folders, tool analyzes automatically and sort into categories

Linux Support

Native Linux support available (this is not official yet but i use it on Linux), but polyphony not fully functional yet—minor XY calculation errors exist. The developer delivers quick updates;

I find the tool really great for Linux users, and it's fun to use my 20,000 samples more quickly and creatively than listening to them one by one (you know the "find the right snare" meme?). I think the tool is very effective and creative, and it finally allows me to discover samples that were hidden in the crowd.

Forecast: i bet all issue will be fixed soon so its 5/5.
