Output

Output is a music software company that develops creative tools designed specifically for musicians, producers, and composers. Their product line includes virtual instruments, audio effects, sample libraries, and production applications, all built with the direct input of working artists and producers. The core philosophy behind Output’s offerings is that the tools should emerge from real studio sessions rather than corporate boardrooms, ensuring they address genuine creative needs. Their plugin collection covers a wide range of sonic possibilities. For example, “Portal” is a granular reverb and delay effect that transforms any audio signal into evolving textures, pads, or rhythmic loops. It allows users to manipulate grain size, pitch, and density in real time, making it suitable for sound design, ambient music, and cinematic scoring. “Rev” is a convolution reverb that uses impulse responses from physical spaces and hardware units, providing realistic acoustic environments from cathedral halls to vintage spring tanks. “Signal” combines saturation, compression, and filter modules into a single channel strip for shaping and coloring sounds. Each plugin includes built-in modulation sources such as LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers, enabling dynamic movement without external automation. Output also produces sample-based instruments. “Exhale” focuses on vocal textures, offering layered choirs, spoken word phrases, and processed vocal effects with keyboard mapping and articulations control. “Substance” provides synthesized bass sounds ranging from deep sub oscillators to distorted leads, with unison stacking and filter routing. “Analog Strings” and “Analog Brass & Winds” reproduce classic analog synthesis sounds from the 1970s and 1980s, including tape saturation and osci
