What is Output?
Output's official slogan is "Creative tools for musicians, by musicians." It focuses on plug-ins and instruments for producers, rather than end-to-end AI generators. The official website states that its plug-ins are born in recording studios, not meeting rooms, and lists the names of artists such as Björk, Billie Eilish, Coldplay, and Kendrick Lamar. Its product line includes Arcade (a sampling and instrument category), Co-Producer (for finding and generating materials), as well as three effects pedals: Portal, Thermal, and Movement. Subscribing to Output One allows for unlimited access to all samples, plug-ins, instruments, and updates, and the official says it offers a 7-day free trial.
