The idea
Music search should understand music.
Keywords can tell us that a loop is called “Deep House Groove 04”. They don't necessarily tell us whether it fits the track we are actually producing. BeatLocator is conceived as a different kind of search: one that can use musical characteristics themselves to locate compatible material.
Locate by sound
More than BPM.
More than BPM.
More than keywords.
Key

Groove
Go beyond tempo to compare rhythmic feel, swing, density and timing characteristics.
Sound
Explore compatible material through timbre, energy, texture and sonic similarity.
Future engine
Give us a sound.
Locate its relatives.
The future BeatLocator engine will analyze musical material and use its characteristics to search for beats, loops and grooves that can actually belong together.
