That reminds me of a methodology @tutschku showed in early FluCoMa stuff over in [this thread](https://discourse.flucoma.org/t/mfcc-comparison/484) (sadly his original vids are no longer available).

If memory serves me right he had an automated thing where he would pick a sound (don’t remember how, if it was 2d grid or via distance to an input sound) and then the playback engine would quickly play back the nearest _n_ amount of them, with the idea being that you could get a sense of what was matching better.

Actually looks like my vid is still up which was mirroring his:
