Find the sound.

Pin it · hear it · place it
Three moves.
One idea intact.
A small, quiet loop through the part of a session that usually breaks your concentration: finding the sound, hearing it, and getting it into Live.
From folder to Arrangement
in three moves.
Find it
Pin the folders you live in — drums, textures, vocals — as workspaces. Flip between them in a keystroke, search Live's full tag index inline.
Hear it
Select a file and it plays. Immediately. Decoded locally — no spinner, no beachball. Loop it, or listen raw.
Insert it
One button. The clip lands exactly at your playhead, on the track you're working on — or a fresh audio track when it can't.
Everything you keep
reaching for.
Pinned workspaces
Several folders open at once, each with its own tab, its own history. The folders you actually use — not Live's idea of a tree.
Instant previews
Audio decodes in-app. Select and it plays — no spinner, no beachball, nothing routed through Live's preview tab.
Insert at playhead
Playing: at the playhead. Stopped: at the insert marker. Wrong track type? A new audio track is created and named for you.
Native drags
Drag real file URLs onto Session, Arrangement, Simpler, Sampler or Drum Rack — exactly what Live expects, first try.
Live's tags, read-only
Search Live 12's full tag index — and tag your own samples the way Live writes them, so they show up in Live's browser too.
Back. Forward. Recents.
Per-workspace history plus a recents list of what you actually inserted — not a cache of every keystroke.
Read-only by design.
Safe by construction.
HM 01 never writes to Live's database. It reads the index — Places, packs, tags, everything Live already knows — previews audio locally, and talks to Live through one thin Remote Script bridge. If Live is busy or locked, it waits. Your set is never at risk.
It's a native macOS app, not a browser tab. Fast to open, fast to search, fast to close. And it stays out of the way until the moment you need a sound.
