Splice INSTRUMENT the Labs replacement w/free libraries each month

[LinkedMusicians]

NOTE: This is not well-executed marketing communications or branding. To break that down, some people will read the below message and figure it out, while others will find it confusing. In short, Splice is rebranding Labs, but they’re not getting rid of the name, they’re still going to use the name in a different way (yes, that isn’t very clear and not well explained). Labs is being absorbed — or incorporated — into its replacement, called INSTRUMENT. Now here’s the good news, Splice is promising to release new free libraries for INSTRUMENT every month. Watch the video for more information. Also, Splice will be selling new libraries individually for non-subscribers, so they’re covering both bases, subscribers and non-subscribers.

Introducing Splice INSTRUMENT – the most accessible, creator-first instrument ever.

Studio-quality sound

INSTRUMENT puts expressive, high-quality tones—artist-made and one-of-a-kind instruments—right at your fingertips.

LABS is now part of INSTRUMENT

The iconic LABS library lives on in Splice INSTRUMENT, reimagined with a sleek, new interface, enhanced browsing, and individual preset access — all designed to inspire and supercharge your music-making.

And, just like LABS, there will always be a free version. But this time, you’ll get fresh free drops every month. Claim them and they’re yours to keep forever.

Download INSTRUMENT now and start creating.

What’s happening to LABS?

LABS isn’t going anywhere and we’ll continue to release LABS+ packs throughout 2025, with the plugin operating well into 2026.

For the best experience though, we would recommend downloading and using INSTRUMENT which will feature all the sounds that already exist on LABS and will know if you have LABS packs already installed, so no need to download them again.
