SUBSTANCE is the same instrument as Output SUBSTANCE above, attributed here to its developer. It is described as welcome to SUBSTANCE, a deeply produced bass engine, combining heavily processed electric and acoustic basses, real brass sections, the dirtiest analog synths, insane sound design, and so much more to make bass sounds unlike anything you've heard, and as a completely new breed of bass. Its architecture is documented: SUBSTANCE combines three layers of sources to create one massive sound. The real power comes in the engine, Output's largest to date, which blends them together with layer and global FX, filters, modulation, an advanced arpeggiator, flux control, and macros. The practical framing is stated as unshakeable bass designed to hit different, with doing the most accomplished through three symbiotic sound layers, an advanced arpeggiator, flux control, and front-page macro sliders to deepen the experience without sacrificing simplicity — the emphasis on front-page macros being deliberate, since a deeply layered engine is only usable if the essential controls are accessible without navigating. Preset content comprises 300 curated presets with an expansion library of 300 additional presets, and separate expansion packs at $35.00 each including Dystopian Bass, Base Bass, and Booty Bass. It is free Kontakt Player required and supported by all major DAWs that support third-party plugins (VST, VST3, AU, and AAX), with requirements of at least 18 GB of free drive space, 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended), and Kontakt 5.5.1 or higher. It is priced at $199.00, with an Output SUBSTANCE+ Bundle available. It suits electronic music, trap, hip hop, and cinematic production, and sits in the same territory as Output's wider instrument range — whose approach is consistent: heavily layered source material presented through a simplified front panel. #SUBSTANCE #OutputSUBSTANCE #Output #BassEngine #Bass #Layering #BrassSections #Polysynths #AnalogSynths #FluxControl #Arpeggiator #Macros #Kontakt #KontaktPlayer #ExpansionPacks #Trap #HipHop #ElectronicMusic #Cinematic #MusicProduction #VST #VST3 #AU #AAX #Standalone #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro #Cubase
