Processing speed
Audio analysis is up to ~5x faster with lower RAM usage.
Tempo and loop detection now uses multiple algorithms (spectral flux, phase deviation, inter-onset intervals) cross-referencing each other. More accurate BPM, better loop vs. one-shot classification.
Waveform Visualizer
New dedicated panel with an interactive waveform. Click to seek, scroll to zoom, shift+scroll to pan.
Enable Tempo Sync and the timeline switches from seconds to beat/bar markers aligned to the sample's BPM.
Similar Samples refinement
The Similar Samples panel now lets you approve or reject results.
Hover a result → ✓ pulls search toward it, ✗ pushes away. Updates in real time. Hit Reset to go back to neutral.
Way faster to narrow down exactly what you need.
Recall
Sample Vault now remembers what you do. Every sample you drag, copy, search for, or discuss with the assistant gets logged per workspace.
Your recent activity automatically feeds into the assistant's context. It already knows what you've been working with.
Sample Vault v1.4.0 is out.
Three new features: Recall, Similar Samples refinement, and a Waveform Visualizer.
Processing is ~5x faster. Tempo detection got a full rewrite.

Discord Server
samplevault.ai/discord?utm...
Also new: redesigned Sample Info tab with General/Characteristics/Metadata views, an Activity Log for all background processing, and Discord OAuth for sign-in.
Per-Sample Analysis Control — choose exactly which samples get analyzed and uploaded to the cloud. During import or anytime later via right-click on samples or directories.
Similar Samples — a new tab that automatically finds the most sonically similar samples when you play one. Just play a sample and it updates.
Improved File Browser — behaves like the one in your DAW now. Collapse/expand directories, right-click to bulk analyze or delete, search by filename, smooth scrolling through large libraries.
Dock Layouts
Build your own workspace. Drag panels, split views, resize, save named layouts. Use as many or as few panels as you want. This layout engine is the foundation for a lot of what's coming next.
Sample Vault v1.3.0 is out and it's a big one. Here's what's new:
Plus faster search, auto-retries for failed samples, and smoother updates.
