Arcade is an inspiration machine with new content delivered every day and tools to transform it all so it sounds like you. It even works with your own loops. The second version of Output’s sample-based synth now lets users write notes and melodies, adding much more versatility to the software. Note Kits feature velocity-sensitive, multi-sampled audio that can be performed polyphonically and with a range of 88-keys. These are organised under larger collections known as Lines, and each brings unique, pre-crafted sounds that can be easily implemented to productions.

Pre-existing Lines – such as Hooked, Drip, Memento and Modular Circuitry – now feature their own Note Kits. The UI gives you musical parameters that let you make broad adjustments to each sound, but if you need more control, there’s the Tweak page. The Tweak page lets you delve into each Note Kit to make adjustments to the individual samples making it up. You can also create your own presets using the library of samples provided by Arcade.

It’s also possible to use your own samples, thanks to the AI-powered preset generator. Simply drag your audio into Arcade and it will generate a custom kit – with locked tempo and key – to get you going in no time. Other enhancements include a redesigned Sampler Kit Keyboard with better visual feedback, and a refreshed Tweak page that’s easier to navigate. New content will continue to be added to Arcade on a daily basis.

"It’s really exciting to see a single ecosystem where creators can make music and tap into new content every day,” says Output CEO Gregg Lehrman. “What you can do in Arcade used to take a dozen different plugins. Now, you’ve got vocal chops, chords, melodies, basslines, loops, samples and one shots - all in a single place, all refreshed daily. I wish I had this when I was making music all day, every day."
