Semantic Search

Describe it. Find it.

Type "warm analog pad" and get pads ranked by how warm and analog they actually sound. Not by filename. Not by folder. By the audio itself. Works with any description — textures, vibes, moods, genres.

GrooveEngine generating a Boom Bap pattern at 90 BPM with drum roles assigned

28 groove styles

Boom Bap, Trap, Lo-Fi, Drill, House, Techno, and more.

Auto-assigns roles

Kick, snare, hats, bass, lead — mapped from your crate automatically.

Export to MIDI

One click. Standard MIDI file. Drop straight into your DAW.

Pro only GrooveEngine and MIDI export require a Pro license. Collections work on Free.

Workflow

Built for how producers actually work

Every feature exists because folder-diving kills creative flow.

Similar Search

Found one sample you like? Click similar and find 30 more that sound like it. Works across your entire library.

MIDI Export

GrooveEngine patterns export as standard MIDI files. One click, straight into Ableton, FL, Logic, or any DAW.

Collections

Save samples into crates. Build kits for specific projects. Search within a collection to narrow results.

Clean Results

Near-duplicate suppression keeps results diverse. No more 15 variations of the same clap clogging your list.

How it works

Three steps to the right sound

Step 1

Add your library

Point Vextra at your sample folders. It indexes everything locally — no uploads, no cloud, no waiting.

Step 2

Describe the sound

Type what you're looking for in plain language: "warm analog pad", "dark ambient texture", "punchy 808 kick".

Step 3

Find and preview

Vextra returns ranked results by semantic relevance. Preview directly in the app and drop into your DAW.

Use Cases

For anyone who works with audio

Beatmaking

Find drums by feel. Build grooves from crates. Export patterns to MIDI and keep moving.

Sound Design

Search textures, atmospheres, and one-shots by description. Find that specific granular pad you can hear in your head.

Film Scoring

Find tension risers, ambient beds, orchestral hits. Search by mood and context, not sample pack names.

Content Creation

Find SFX, transitions, and background tracks fast. Stop scrolling through folders when you should be editing.
