It's a super stripped down rhythm machine that is in many ways the antithesis to Astra. I had a load of fun tweaking it and building strange bass sounds but it definitely has a bit of a learning curve and a lot of the presets are pretty ho-hum.īeatmaker, well, allows you to make beats. There are two oscillators with options for virtual analog, FM, wavetable, granular and sample playback, a sub oscillator, a noise source, a multimode filter, two LFOs, two envelope generators, a 32-step note sequencer, a 32-note macro sequencer, a pretty robust modulation matrix and built-in compress, reverb and delay effects. Astra is a surprisingly deep virtual synth that reminds me a bit of Arturia's Pigments. But I don't know that I'd say they're worth $10 extra a month on their own. The two Creator-exclusive plugins are potentially pretty interesting. Still, the ability to do some simple sample manipulation before you spend a credit on a sample is welcome. You can also transpose a sample to match the key of your track, but unfortunately Splice can't automatically detect what key you're in. When you add it to an empty MIDI track it automatically syncs the BPM with the Splice desktop app allowing to you timestretch and tempo match a loop before you copy it over to your DAW. It's not quite the deep integration with your DAW than many producers were probably hoping for, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. (Sounds+ only gets you 100 credits.) Honestly, even if you're a professional and producing dozens of tracks a month, 200 samples a month is probably plenty.Īll of the plans also include the new Splice Bridge plugin. The only real difference between the Creator and Creator+ subscriptions is that you get 500 sound credits with the latter and 200 with the former. Where as Sounds+ will set you back $10 a month, Creator and Creator+ are $20 and $30 respectively. Obviously the new plans are a bit more expensive.
