Sample Finder-music sample identification tool.

Example

A user hears the distinctive piano riff in Kanye West's 'Runaway' and wonders where it originated. By using Sample Finder, the user learns that the piano sample was not directly lifted but is stylistically similar to motifs from early soul or jazz pieces.

Scenario

Producers and DJs often want to know the source of a sampled beat or melody. A producer might be interested in recreating or reinterpreting a similar sound in their own work, or simply want to ensure that they are not infringing on another artist's work.

Example

A user finds out that a well-known sample in Eric B. & Rakim's 'Paid in Full' was originally taken from an Israeli band, The Hatikvah Orchestra. Through Sample Finder, they trace the history of how that sample has been reused across decades in various songs.

Scenario

Music historians and sample hunters often enjoy tracing 'sample chains'—how one original song was repeatedly sampled across multiple generations of tracks, spanning different genres. Sample Finder provides detailed lineage to satisfy this curiosity.

Example

A user is curious about the eerie background hum in a Billie Eilish track, but it's unclear whether it's a direct sample or an original recording. Using Sample Finder, the AI identifies that the sound is derived from an obscure 1960s experimental track but was heavily altered to fit the modern context.

Scenario

In situations where a sample is heavily modified or obscured, DJs, sound designers, and audiophiles want to understand the origins of the sound, even if it's been pitched, slowed down, or masked in some way.
