AudioCortex 2
Your sound library finally understands sound.
For 20 years, sample browsers have known your files by name. AudioCortex 2 knows them by ear. It listens, understands, organizes, transforms — and it has an AI collaborator living inside it that can do all of that for you, by voice or by hand. Not a librarian with a search box bolted on. A creative instrument that happens to have perfect memory.
Free upgrade for AudioFinder customers who purchased in 2020 or later.
New at launch — intro $99 for beta & early buyers, $149 at 1.0.

🎧 It hears what things sound like
Audio-to-audio similarity search
Drop in a sound — a breathy pad, a gnarly kick, a field recording of rain — and AudioCortex 2 finds everything in your library that sounds like it, even if the filename is Untitled-47.wav. No tags. No folders. No lies. Just: “find me more of this feeling.”
Aesthetic ears
It classifies your material by character and quality, so the good stuff surfaces and the junk sinks.
🤖 Oscilla — an AI that actually operates the app
Most “AI in music” is a text box that spits out a loop. Oscilla is different: it drives the whole application. Ask it to find a lush guitar, stretch it into a cathedral, run it through a bell, lay it on a track, and bounce it — and it does the work, tool by tool, right in front of you. It's not a chatbot glued on the side. It has hands.
🌫 A furnace of texture engines
This is where AudioCortex 2 stops being a browser and becomes an instrument.
XXL Stretch
Time-stretch 2× to 200×. Transients dissolve; a guitar strum becomes a twenty-minute glacier. The engine behind the Monolith and Aquaphoria pieces.
Mosaic
Rebuild any sound out of grains of another sound. Paint a melody in whale song.
Convolution — where the hall is anything
The impulse response can be a bell, a choir, a mosaic — so your material rings inside other material. The library becomes the room.
Spectral suite
Crossing, Freeze, Morph, Veil, Sediment, Wavesets, Ascension, Widen, Resonate. Clean-room spectral processing from the electroacoustic canon, rebuilt in fast native Swift.
🎛 A studio, not just a shelf
Tracks
Real DAW-style lanes to layer and arrange what you make.
Node UI
A patchable canvas where you wire sources through effects like a modular rig, save and load patches — and Oscilla can wire it for you.
Synth + Drum Machine
Sound generation built in, so you're never starting from an empty library.
🌀 See your sound
Spiral
The pitch spiral. Chords bloom as constellations, drones burn as a single spoke, detuning smears off-axis. Harmony you can watch.
🧠 It gets better the more you use it
A Factory Journal turns your sessions into the app's own growing intelligence — so new users don't start from zero, and you don't either.
AudioCortex 2 is a sound library that listens, an effects rack that dreams, and an AI collaborator that does the work — in one native Mac app.
