Critic Reviews

“For the first time, we’re moving beyond samples”: Splice unveils free plugin and virtual instrument platform with hundreds of free presets | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Splice's new INSTRUMENT plugin is a daring step beyond their sample library roots, offering over 1200 multi-sampled presets, mostly from Spitfire Audio. It's a treasure trove of sounds, ranging from pianos to hyperpop synths, and while it's free to download, full access requires a subscription. The plugin offers a seamless browsing experience and sound manipulation through its Play window, but the shift to integrating virtual instruments might not appeal to those who value the simplicity of Splice's original sample offerings. Splice INSTRUMENT is a promising evolution, though it might leave some wondering if it complicates the brand's core appeal.
