ADSR Sounds has announced an update to its virtual instrument that makes your entire sample library searchable with smart and custom tags.

Sample Manager lets you audition samples in real time, key matched and tempo synced.

Access thousands of samples in your DAW or on your desktop with convenience to fit your workflow. Sample Manager makes organising, finding and auditioning samples refreshingly simple. Search by tags like genre or sound type, browse on your desktop in standalone or audition sounds directly in your DAW in key and locked to your project tempo before purchase with your credits.
