Search takes ordinary words and reads the parts it recognises as filters. Type kick a minor 140 and you get kicks in A minor around 140 BPM, with three chips above the results showing exactly how your words were read. Remove a chip if it guessed wrong.
Instrument words
kick, snare, clap, hat, ride, tom, 808, sub, bass, pad, lead, pluck, keys, guitar, string, brass, vocal, chop, riser, impact, foley, texture, loop, one-shot. Plurals and common short forms work: hats, perc, vox.
Key
Write it how you say it: a minor, Am, A min, F# major, Gb maj. Enharmonic spellings match each other, so F# also finds Gb. Add relative to include the relative major or minor — Am relative also returns C major.
BPM
- A bare number between 60 and 200 is read as BPM, matched within two either side:
140finds 138 to 142. - A range is exact:
120-128. halfanddoublewiden it to the halved and doubled tempo, which is how a 70 BPM loop and a 140 BPM loop end up in the same search.
