Now boasting approximately 4,000 users, AI-powered sample generator Just 4 Noise has closed a $1 million round.

Berlin-headquartered Just 4 Noise reached out with word of the raise, which didn’t have a lead but drew support from BADideas.fund, Sound Hub Denmark, and others.

Founded by Max Shafer and Henning Nobmann in 2024, the startup deals in prompt-based samples that it says come from an ethically trained model. Per the appropriate website, the royalty-free outputs integrate into DAWs.

“Producers stop scrolling through folders and start generating one-shot samples and instruments that fit the track, then drop them straight into their DAW,” BADideas summed up when touting its Just 4 Noise investment. “The product focuses on quality, control, and ethical data sourcing, which is why users adopt it as a core creative tool rather than a toy.”

Among these users are Pan-Pot, Jamie XX, Alinka, and Manon Dave, according once again to Just 4 Noise’s site. On the business side, the startup counts as partners Native Instruments, Orchestral Tools, and UJAM.

Regarding pricing, despite the well-documented prevalence of subscriptions today, one can currently purchase lifetime access to Just 4 Noise (and its future updates) for a flat €99, or about $117 at the present euro-dollar exchange rate.

As for what comes next, Shafer touched on his company’s plans to continue expanding its userbase and building out its core product.

“With the $1m we took on,” Shafer said, “we are scaling the future foundation model for AI instrument generation—our goal: putting the power of technology directly in the hands of every audio creator.”

Earlier in February, Arthos – having secured $730,000 in pre-seed funding only seven months earlier – announced an oversubscribed $6 million seed raise. The newer tranche, higher-ups indicated, will enable continued expansions for the business’s central “generative audio workstation,” Mozart.

Furthermore, both raises followed multiple 2025 developments at the intersection of AI and music creation. Just in passing, June saw Suno scoop up AI-enhanced in-browser DAW WavTool, before Moises creator Music AI in late August rolled out its AI Studio.

That offering, Music AI communicated, marked an initial “step toward a friendly web-based DAW built from the ground up for AI-assisted music creation.”
