    \n\tAs part of the rollout, the company\u2019s press release also notes that its established creator payment model will still compensate sample makers for any AI augmentations of their work, as well. Creators will be compensated each time their sound is used as a source and each time an AI-powered variation of it is downloaded.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe three new tools are described as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Variations<\/strong>: A plugin that lets producers create new versions of any Splice sample, including changes to the structure, key, and BPM of the sound. <\/li>\n
    • Craft<\/strong>: A new feature in Splice INSTRUMENT that transforms samples into playable instruments.<\/li>\n
    • Magic Fit: <\/strong>A tool, coming in Summer 2026, that allows any Splice sound to match the harmonic and rhythmic context of a session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      \n\tAll tools are available via Splice\u2019s Sounds and INSTRUMENT plugins in any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), like Ableton, Logic or ProTools. <\/p>\n

      \n\tThese tools, according to Alejandro Koretzky<\/strong>, the company\u2019s vp of applied AI research, move Splice into the next generation of producer tools. \u201cOur first generation of tools helped producers discover sounds. Now we\u2019re making the catalog itself more adaptable and contextual so any sound can be transformed while still preserving its DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \n\tCEO Kakul Srivastava<\/strong> said in a statement, \u201cProducers have always used samples as a foundation for new ideas; these tools extend that tradition, enabling sounds to be reshaped and reimagined. Grounded in deep, long-standing relationships with producers and sound creators, they reflect real creative workflows and reinforce the value of original work.\u201d<\/p>\n

        \n\tNews of these new tools arrives about five months after Splice announced a new partnership with Universal Music Group to collaborate on \u201ccommercial AI tools\u201d and \u201cAI-powered virtual instruments.\u201d Srivastava also took the stage at HumanX in San Francisco last week with UMG\u2019s Chief Digital Officer Michael Nash<\/strong> to share her thoughts on AI.<\/p>\n

        \n\tShe described the partnership with UMG as containing three key points: \u201cThe first is working with Universal to really work out what\u2019s the right way to train on the incredible catalog that UMG has,\u201d she told the crowd. \u201cSo, we\u2019re having some conversations around exploring how we do training the right way, as opposed to the wrong way\u2026The second thing that we\u2019re working on is, how do we bring some of the incredible artists that are part of the Universal Music Group\u2019s portfolio to the seat at the table with us, to help us create novel experiences?\u2026 And then the third thing is, can we invent new ways for people to engage with music? There\u2019s one thing that\u2019s passive listening, there are more forward-looking things that users want to do with the music.\u201d<\/p>\n
