\n\tSplice has inked a partnership with ElevenLabs. Now, Splice, which specializes in offering royalty-free samples, will leverage ElevenLabs\u2019 foundational music models to build AI powered tools for its users. <\/p>\n
\n\tNews of the deal comes just a month after Splice debuted new generative AI products <\/a>to allow users to customize their library of millions of human-made samples. This announcement included three specific products: \u201cVariations\u201d (a plugin that lets producers create new versions of any Splice sample, including changes to the structure, key, and BPM of the sound), \u201cCraft\u201d (a new feature in Splice INSTRUMENT that transforms samples into playable instruments) and Magic Fit (a tool coming in Summer 2026, that allows any Splice sound to match the harmonic and rhythmic context of a session.)<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\tAll of these previously noted AI products from Splice compensate the people who created the original sample with every use. In a statement about the new deal between Splice and ElevenLabs for further AI product development, Kakul Srivastava<\/strong>, CEO of Splice, notes: \u201cIn this second wave of AI in music, the creator comes first. We\u2019re building responsible products from the ground up, and our partnership with ElevenLabs gives us access to powerful models to help shape what those experiences can be.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSplice has been moving into the realm of AI since 2023 with the launch of their product Create<\/a>, which uses non-generative AI tech to mix and match sounds in their sample library to spark new song ideas. At the time, Srivastava told Billboard <\/em>that she found the popularity of \u201cpush button\u201d AI music tools \u201cdisturbing,\u201d adding that with whatever Splice does in the AI space she wants it to \u201cmake more people curious about creating as opposed to less.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn late 2025, Splice announced a partnership with Universal Music Group to collaborate on developing \u201ccommercial AI tools\u201d and \u201cAI-powered virtual instruments,\u201d and in January, Splice announced the acquisition of Kits AI<\/a>, an AI-powered voice platform.<\/p>\n \n\tSeparately, ElevenLabs has been building its own approach to AI in the music-making process. The AI voice company began forming licensing partnerships with music companies starting in 2025 with the announcement of deals with Kobalt, Merlin<\/a> and production library SourceAudio<\/a>. Since then, ElevenLabs launched ElevenMusic<\/a>, its AI music platform allowing the creation of songs from simple text prompts. <\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement about the new collaboration with Splice, ElevenLabs co-founder Mati Staniszewski<\/strong> says: \u201cOur models deliver studio-grade audio ready for commercial use. By embedding them into Splice\u2019s workflow, we\u2019ll bring these capabilities directly to the artists and creators shaping the future of music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
