> Install Presetti, find your synths, build a preset library and search it by sound. Step by step, with screenshots from the app.

Presetti listens to your synth presets so you can search them by sound. You build a library once, then find presets that sound like another preset, a recording or an audio file. Everything runs on your computer, offline.

## Start here

If this is your first time, follow these in order. It takes about ten minutes, most of it waiting for the library to build.

- [1. Install Presetti](https://presetti.app/guide/getting-started/install-presetti): Download the Windows installer and get past the SmartScreen check.
- [2. Find your synths](https://presetti.app/guide/library/scan-plugins): Analyse your computer to list the synths and presets Presetti can use.
- [3. Build your library](https://presetti.app/guide/library/build-library): Pick one or two synths and let Presetti render a short clip of each preset.
- [4. Find similar presets](https://presetti.app/guide/search/similar-presets): Click any preset to see the ones that sound most like it.
