The problem

Producers lose their creative flow hunting through thousands of samples scattered across nested folders and sample packs. The original 2012 .NET version proved the idea; it needed a modern, cross-platform rebuild.

The approach

  • Rebuilt the 2012 VB.NET app as a Tauri desktop app: a Rust core streams a background scan, CRC32-hashes every file, and auto-generates searchable tags from folder and file names.
  • Virtualized React grid scaling to 100k+ samples with instant tag/text filtering, audition, waveform preview and drag-straight-into-a-DAW.
  • Producer tools: CRC32 duplicate finder with safe Recycle-Bin cleanup, bulk tag editing, and audio metadata (length, sample rate, channels).

The outcome

  • A cross-platform rewrite that ships as a tiny native installer instead of a .NET dependency.
  • Feature-complete against the original plus a modern audition and duplicate-cleanup workflow.
