  • Filter samples by file type (WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, WMA, OGG)
  • Full drag-and-drop support (simply drag a sample from Aural Probe into your sequencer/sampler, just like Windows Explorer)

  • Automatic rescan and categorization of samples on changed categories or sample folder layout

  • ‘Always on top’ mode to make frequent dragging of samples into other windows easier
