Their first, Rev, was a sample engine for manipulating reversed sounds, and that was followed by Signal, which was marketed as the world’s most powerful pulse engine. The company’s latest engine, Exhale, also promises to break new ground and is said by Output to be the first truly modern vocal engine. There may be a flaw in the logic of that statement, but the important point is that Exhale is designed to service the needs of modern music producers who want to use highly processed vocals in their productions.Įxhale’s content is divided into Notes, Loops and Slices, but all three categories are accessed through a single Kontakt interface. #Exhale by output tpb plus#Īt the foot of the interface is a list of creatively named factory presets (200 in Notes, 117 in Loops and 100 in Slices), plus any alterations that have been saved by the user. To make it faster to locate appropriate presets, Exhale includes 12 category filter buttons (namely Dirty, Light, One Shot, Percussive, Electro, Creative, Pure, Heavy, Atmos, Looped, Complex and User), which can be used in any combination.
Upon loading a preset, its sound can be altered by four large sliders, which take up most of the interface’s Main page and control up to six sound parameters apiece, as specified by the user via a Macro assignment mode.
The sliders are great for real–time dynamic performance work, but deeper programming is done using the tool in the interface’s Engine view.Īt its top is a section called Sources, which is where the two samples that combine to make up a patch are chosen from. Each source sound passes through its own channel with tune, pan, EQ, ADSR envelope and options for reversing the sample and changing its pitch.
