The leading royalty-free sample marketplace, now with generative AI built around its licensed catalog. Variations creates new versions of any Splice sample (structure, key, BPM), Craft turns samples into playable instruments, and Magic Fit adapts sounds to your session's harmonic and rhythmic context — and the original sample creator is compensated each time their sound seeds a generation. Integrates with major DAWs via VST3/AU plugins, with desktop and mobile apps.
