What is Output?

Output is a music technology company creating professional software instruments and effects for producers and composers. Founded in 2013, it’s known for cinematic, genre-defying sounds used across film, pop, and electronic music.

Core products:

  • Cinematic instruments — strings, percussion, textures
  • Creative effects — signature processing tools
  • Production suites — like Arcade, Exhale, and Signal
  • Sound libraries — professional-grade content

Its tools are built around one idea: give producers sounds that sound finished, so the music speaks.

How Output works

Output’s products work inside your DAW:

  1. Install a plugin — in Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, etc.
  2. Browse the sound library — curated, professional content.
  3. Play and perform — instruments respond expressively.
  4. Shape the sound — effects and controls for customization.
  5. Make music — the sounds are production-ready.

The quality is the point — Output’s sounds are designed to sit in a professional mix immediately.

Output is the professional choice — sound quality and depth that free tools and stock libraries can’t match. Free tools (like Suno AI for AI music) serve different purposes. Stock sounds are a starting point. For serious production, Output delivers.

Who is Output for?

  • Music producers seeking professional sounds.
  • Film and game composers crafting scores.
  • Sound designers building textures and effects.
  • Beatmakers looking for signature instruments.

It’s not for beginners without a DAW, casual creation, or free-music needs. For professional production, it’s a premium investment that delivers.
