Groove Detective is a engine for Audio and MIDI drum/percussion loops based on patterns and 'sounds like'. Groove Detective is based on advanced DSP analysis of the audio in the loops (except MIDI files of course). It will find the exact location of the hits in three loosely defined categories: kick drum, snare drum and hihat as well as obtain a detailed descriptor of the sound characteristics of each hit. This information is placed in a database with a sophisticated indexing system allowing you to find what you're looking for almost instantaneously.

Groove Detective analyzes the sound of all the loops in your library and puts the resulting information into a database, which you can then search for rhythm patterns, sound similarity and more. Once you have found a loop you like in the search results, you can drag-and-drop it into a track in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or, if the app doesn't support that, navigate to the specified folder and pick it up there.

* Audio support: DirectX only
