Output Sounds has released a free version of their pulse engine, Signal, called, not surprisingly, Signal Free.
Working from the premise that “nearly all music is centered on a pulse,” Output, who also created the REV software instrument, gathered a team of 70 designers and developers to build an instrument “that pushes beyond conventional limits of synths and samples” in the creation of the original Signal product.
The Signal Free release is a “lite” version of the complete Signal, featuring all the same functionality with a few exceptions: 2GB of content (vs 40 GB in the full version) and 25 presets (vs >500 in the full Output Signal version).
Output Signal Free Features Include:
- 4 sound sources
- 2GB of content (uncompressed)
- 25 Pulse Instruments
- LFOs, Step, Arpeggiator, Looper™
- Basic & Advanced modes
- No time limit in Kontakt Full
- 15min time limit in Kontakt Player
