Splice

Splice is a New York City-based music creation platform founded in 2013 by Steve Martocci and Matt Aimonetti that operates a royalty-free sample marketplace, a rent-to-own plugin store, and a growing suite of in-house instruments, AI tools, and DAW integrations for producers and beatmakers. Splice Sounds offers a credit-based subscription giving access to millions of cleared samples, loops, presets, and MIDI; Splice INSTRUMENT is the company's virtual instrument with free monthly preset drops; Astra is a Splice-built hybrid synthesizer covering virtual analog, wavetable, sampling, granular, and FM synthesis; Beatmaker is its drum-machine instrument; and Bridge is a free plugin that surfaces the Splice Sounds catalog directly inside Ableton Live, Studio One, Pro Tools, and Studio Pro with automatic key and tempo matching. Splice has also rolled out generative AI features including Create Mode (build "Stacks" from any loop), Variations (regenerate any Splice sample with creator compensation), Craft (turn catalog sounds into playable instruments inside INSTRUMENT), and an upcoming Magic Fit (harmonic/rhythmic auto-matching to a session), with an announced ElevenLabs partnership for next-gen AI music tools. The company acquired Superpowered and Audiaire in 2020 and Spitfire Audio in 2025, and operates a rent-to-own marketplace of 130+ third-party plugins (Serum 2, V Collection, Abbey Road, etc.). Splice does not publish a public developer API, SDK, or webhook surface; the business is a consumer/prosumer SaaS for music creators, distributed via desktop app, mobile app, and DAW plugin integrations rather than a programmable platform.
