Today Output announced Substance, a “completely new breed of” bass engine.
Combining heavily processed electric and acoustic basses, real brass sections, and what Output deems “the dirtiest analog synths, and insane sound design,” Substance is a deeply-produced bass engine. The engine combines three layers of sources and blends them together with layer and global FX, filters, modulation, an advanced arpeggiator, flux control and macros. Promotional materials from Output call Substance “a massive engine for big bottom.”
“Our goal with SUBSTANCE was to create a bass engine that was not focused on emulation, but rather, on pushing the envelope with creative and powerful new sounds,” says Output Founder Gregg Lehrman. “It’s our most sophisticated engine to date and you can really get a sense of that from the first note.”
Output Substance Features:
- A playable instrument with 300 presets
- Powerful new 3-layer engine
- Preset menu with smart tagging
- Layer FX and global FX
- 4 central macro sliders unique to each preset

I was caught of guard by this as I thought it was a synth , but it’s software. What a shame.
I like a big bottom
And I can not lie! Honestly, you got the better part of the deal.
its a bass synth and the main video most noticeable sounds are leads, can hardly hear any bass
The bigger the cushion, the harder the button pushin’…
Listening to this on my iPhone speakers, there’s hardly any low end at all, what a rip.
“the result is unlike anything you’ve heard” um, not really I have heard sounds like these before.
That bottom is heavy, tight, and head shaking.
