￥Output, Inc., innovative music software developer for producers, composers and musicians, is proud to announce the release of the world’s most powerful pulse engine, SIGNAL. SIGNAL is a revolutionary software instrument focused on generating pulses, combining the warmth of fat analog and digital synths with beauty of organic instruments.

 

Inspired by the realization that nearly all music is centered on a pulse, Output gathered a team of 70 designers and developers to build an instrument that pushes beyond conventional limits of synths and samples.

 

The new instrument features a massive 40GB library of multi-dynamic and round-robin samples recorded in Los Angeles and London. Where SIGNAL sets itself apart, is how it allows for the combination of these synths and instruments across multiple layers and rhythms. Using the underlying step sequencers, arpeggiators, LFO’s and SIGNAL’s proprietary tape LOOPER, one can create a sound not yet heard previously.

 

Though SIGNAL is a hefty engine, its interface was designed to be friendly for those who want to start up and play immediately. Those looking to dive into effects, mods and sound design, will find the Advanced section complete with all the depth one would want.

 

“After a year-and-a-half of hard work, we are beyond thrilled to bring this powerful and inspiring instrument to music makers.”, says Output Founder and CEO, Gregg Lehrman. “This is a big milestone in our young but growing company and we’re excited to hear the music that people create.”

 

Features:

 

• 500 Pulse Instruments for instant playability
• A massive array of content – 40GB including analog synths, digital synths and organic instruments
• Up to 4 separate pulses at one time
• All pulses lock to tempo
• Rhythms: Looper, Step Sequencers, Arpeggiators, LFO’s
• 4 central MACRO sliders unique to each of the 500 Pulse Instruments
• Effects control globally and per layer
• Convolution reverb engine
• Advanced mode for access to all parameters
• Copy and paste settings between layers
• Smart tagging preset menu
• Simple design and ease of use

 

NOW NKS-ready

 

Now supporting NI’s Native Kontrol Standard. NKS allows all Output products to work seamlessly with Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine, giving you the ability to access 1000s of snapshots and quickly dive into sound design with the custom mapped control knobs.

 

When your product is properly updated, you will notice a new ‘Legacy’ NKI. This legacy NKI file is only there for compatibility purposes – it does not contain any of the updates that were introduced with the NKS rollout on March 7th. Using the legacy NKI is to use the older version of the product. If you find that your version of Kontakt is too old to support the new ‘product.nki,’ use the legacy NKI.

 

If you find that your Output engine doesn’t immediately show in the Komplete Kontrol/Maschine factory library, close KK/Maschine and do the following:

 

Open Kontakt in standalone, remove the library in question (say, REV).
Close and reopen Kontakt standalone.
Add REV as a library again. Then close Kontakt standalone.
When you open Maschine or Komplete Kontrol, you will now see your Output library in the factory browser.
