ReORDR

A sample library tool that arranges sounds by how alike they sound. Sweep the map to audition, slice loops into one-shots, resynthesise a hit into an editable preset, breed new ones and export finished kits.

Runs in your web browser. Your audio is analysed on your device and is never uploaded.

ReORDR in its Steel look: a similarity map of drum sounds with a list of nearest matches.
ReORDR · Steel look

What it does

Similarity map

Sounds placed so alike sounds sit together

96 built-in drum hits plus your own files. Sweep to hear, click to select, lasso a region.

Nearest matches and drum type

Find the closest sound fast

The 15 closest sounds to the one selected. Drum type is read from the filename, otherwise guessed by rules, and you can correct it.

Audio chopper

Loops into one-shots

Cuts loops and recordings into one-shots, trims, fades, normalises and skips near-identical slices, then lets you review before adding.

Resynthesis

Any hit into an editable preset

Fits a small 18-parameter drum synth to a sound, then gives you knobs and variations.

Breed and fill the map

Evolve new sounds

Eight children per round: star the ones you like and breed again. Fill the map tries 480 presets and keeps the best for each empty cell, and you listen before anything is added.

Kit builder

Take it into your DAW

Up to 16 pads on General MIDI notes, downloaded as a zip with an SFZ file and 16-bit WAVs.
