Output

Output is a Los Angeles-based music software company founded in 2013 by composer and CEO Gregg Lehrman that makes creative virtual instruments, audio effects, and a cloud-connected subscription platform for music producers, songwriters, composers, and beatmakers. Its flagship product is Arcade, a cloud-powered playable sampler and instruments plugin whose library of vocal chops, chords, melodies, basslines, loops, samples, and chromatic instruments (organized into product lines such as Hooked, Poolside, and Drip) refreshes daily. Output's catalog also includes Co-Producer, a sample-discovery plugin that finds samples that fit the current project, and the Output FX suite — Portal (granular synthesis engine), Thermal (interactive distortion engine), and Movement (rhythm engine) — alongside legacy Kontakt-based instruments such as Exhale, Analog Brass & Strings, REV, Signal, and Substance. Products are sold as one-time perpetual licenses and bundled in the Output One subscription ($14.99/month or $119.99/year) covering Arcade, Co-Producer, and the three FX plugins with all expansion packs included. Output raised a $45M Series A from Summit Partners in 2020. Products are delivered as VST3, AU, and AAX plugins (Arcade also runs as a standalone desktop app) installed via account.output.com and the Output Hub; there is no public REST API, SDK, or developer program — integration is through the industry-standard DAW plugin formats.

Output is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Music Software, Music Production, Audio Plugins, Virtual Instruments, and Audio Effects.

Output’s developer surface includes developer portal, pricing, signup flow, support, YouTube channel, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/output-audio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
