Development Road Map
Maximum Metadata Coverage
We consider metadata coverage to be the most important quality of a good sample librarian, hence a lot of our attention goes into this part of the program. The Resonic meta core is extracting and reinterpreting deep metadata from files that is not visible to most other applications.
Resonic's ground-breaking Auto Tag system (to be introduced with the 1.0 release) and its advanced algorithms will round this off by predicting keywords based on the extracted metadata, processing millions of patterns and combinations on countless files within just a few milliseconds, building up a virtual keyword library automatically, which assists you in finding sounds fast that you didn't even know you had. A year of research and analysis and a lot of feedback from testers went into this particular feature and we're convinced that it'll be a driving force to your workflow.
Integrated File Management
Manage files and folders using Explorer-like management functions, tightly integrated with the operating system, directly from within Resonic.
From cutting, copying, pasting, recycling, and moving files, to advanced Drag & Drop inside Resonic, from Resonic into other applications, and from other applications into Resonic, in the most compatible way possible to cover as many third party applications as possible.
Available from Resonic Pro 0.9.
The Pro main window in 0.8.8b, listing all 25 GB of samples in a GDC game audio sample pack:
This video shows you some of the fundamental features of the first Resonic Pro Beta release (0.6.2):
Selections, Loops, Cues, Rulers
Draw, edit, move selections, loop in real-time, set slices, cues, and markers.
A major upgrade for the waveform visualization.
Audio Extraction
Decode and extract waveform selections or slices to .wav, with on-the-fly conversion to your preferred sample rate, bit depth, and channel count.
Reads existing markers, cues, slices, and transients from ACID WAV, AIFF, REX and MIDI files and displays them in the waveform as snapping points.

Pitch Shifting
Real-time tape-style pitch-shifting in semitone and cent steps and using the mouse wheel.
Also affects the audio extraction features.
Drag & Drop Selections
Drag & Drop waveform selections — i.e., extract audio — directly into Resonic's file list or browser, Windows Explorer, and most other applications that accept audio files, including popular DAWs as well as audio and video editing software.
Batch Targets
Batch Targets point to fixed destination folders or drives and are displayed in a sidebar tab. They can copy/move/convert files and folders via Drag & Drop, but can also have one or more batch processing options attached to them.

A little dated, this video shows you how to create new files from slice points, and fast:
Cue and Marker Features
From fast slicing and extraction to playing slices via letter keys on the keyboard to changing extraction format.
Have a look at this screenshot for a first impression.
