bulkbpm. for Ableton Live

Stop Digging. Start Creating.

You know the feeling. You're in the zone, the beat is locked in, and you need that perfect loop to take it home. But instead of creating, you're clicking through hundreds of unnamed samples trying to find something in the right key.

Sample Tagger fixes this forever.

What It Does

Sample Tagger analyzes your entire sample library and automatically renames every file with:

• 🎵 Key — Know instantly if a sample will work with your track
• 🎹 Relative Key — See the minor/major relationship at a glance
• ⏱️ BPM — No more guessing or tap-tempo math
• 🥁🎹🟢 Content Type — Drums, melodic, or full loops—sorted visually with emoji tags

Before: funky_groove_01.wav

After: funky_groove_01_G_Em_124_🟢.wav

Now every sample in your library tells you exactly what it is, just by looking at the filename.

Works With Your Workflow

Runs directly inside Ableton Live as a Max for Live device. No external apps, no complicated setup. Drag in a folder, hit process, done.

Batch Process Thousands of Samples

Point it at your sample folders and let it work. Process your entire library overnight. Already processed files are automatically skipped—run it again anytime you add new samples.

Actually Accurate

Built on professional audio analysis algorithms (Essentia.js) that detect key and tempo the way your ears do—by analyzing the actual harmonic and rhythmic content, not just guessing from transients.

Your Files, Your Way

Creates renamed copies in a new folder. Your originals stay untouched. Organize however you want.

Supported Formats

WAV, AIF, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, M4A, OGG, AAC — if Ableton can play it, Sample Tagger can analyze it.
