Output Arcade is a cloud-based loop-based tool. A new approach to working with samples.
Output has released an unusual synthesizer called Output Arcade. The instrument has an interesting approach to the principles of working with virtual synthesizers.
Arcade's sound is based on loops from a cloud library, accessed through a paid subscription ($10/month). After starting the synthesizer, the user selects a set of sounds and begins to independently shape the sound of the instrument. You can change the sound using 11 built-in effects and modulation capabilities.
Further work with the synthesizer also differs from the usual scheme, in which the keys of a MIDI keyboard reproduce the same sound with a semitone increase. Instead, the white keys are responsible for triggering various loops, and the black keys change their sound.
Loops in the cloud library are accessed through the built-in browser. All content is divided into three categories (Product Lines, Kits, Loops), and you can search for suitable sounds by tags or keywords.
The synthesizer comes with several sets of sounds (Kits, 15 loops each). There is no point in talking about their versatility: the developers focus on the ability to create a synthesizer for yourself based on the proposed loops. If there are no suitable sounds in the catalog, the user can import their own content and process it using Arcade.
