Splice has released INSTRUMENT, a new virtual instrument plugin built around expressive, artist-made presets and an ever-growing library of pro-quality sounds. If you’ve used LABS or LABS+ before, this feels like a natural evolution, repackaged in a sleeker, faster, and more flexible format.
Hundreds of Presets, Zero Fuss
INSTRUMENT is designed to be fast and frictionless. You get access to hundreds of presets ranging from cinematic strings and ambient pads to sharp percussion and textured synths. The browser is clean and easy to navigate, and every sound loads with minimal wait. There’s also monthly “Free Drops” series, so new sounds keep coming even if you’re not on a paid plan.

Built For Modern Workflows
You can run INSTRUMENT as a standalone app or load it into your DAW via AU, VST3, or AAX. The interface is intuitive, and the focus is clearly on sound rather than deep editing, which might be a plus if you’re looking to stay in the creative zone instead of getting lost in modulation menus.
INSTRUMENT integrates Splice’s cloud-based delivery model, offering unlimited preset access via a Creator, Creator+, or INSTRUMENT subscription. À la carte sound pack downloads are said to be on the way for those who prefer one-time purchases.
Free Download
