The Output FX Black Friday deal puts Portal, Thermal and Movement in one bundle at $199.50, 50% off, with the offer ending Nov 22, 2026.
Output FX is a three-plugin effects bundle from Output. It covers granular processing, multi-stage distortion and rhythmic modulation, and it adds 5 expansion packs with over 500 presets.
The maker pitches it as a starting point for working with Output's effects.
Portal is a granular effect. You can feed it VSTs, drums, vocals or live guitar and re-synthesize the signal.
The maker says older granular tools tended toward chaos and abstraction, while Portal's results stay closer to the original input.
The advanced page covers grain controls, modulation and FX. Time Stretch slows and stretches a sound, synced to your master tempo or left free.
Humanize adds natural variation to envelopes. Pitch Shift changes pitch without touching length or timing, and it can be locked to a scale.
There are 250+ presets, a circular visualizer tied to the granular parameters, a tempo-synced grain delay, and 7 built-in FX plus a master compressor and filter.
Thermal is a multi-stage distortion with an XY control you can drive in real time. Each layered engine combines analog and digital distortion algorithms with effects, modulation and imaging.
The advanced page has a waveform display. Drag the handles to target a frequency range, and switch on band split to activate the crossover filters.
There are 19 analogue and digitally modelled distortion algorithms. Each stage also gets Mid-Side and time-based width, plus a Tone panel for shaping highs and lows.
It ships with 250+ presets and 9 built-in FX, along with a master compressor and filter.
Movement is a rhythm effects engine. It adds rhythms to any input in real time, from guitars and synths to drums and full mixes. The maker describes it as built for studio and live use.
You start from one of 300+ presets or build from scratch, then tweak with the XY pad. The original source is blended with 4 rhythm engines, each with sidechain, LFO and step sequencer modulation, plus Output's Flux and Randomizer.
Advanced sidechain modulation lets the input signal modulate up to 38 separate parameters. That covers filters, reverb, distortion, EQ and delays, all at once.
The plugins run in any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU or AAX host.
Yes. The Output FX bundle is 50% off at $199.50, and the deal ends Nov 22, 2026. It includes the Portal, Thermal and Movement plugins along with 5 expansion packs holding over 500 presets.
Three plugins: Portal (granular), Thermal (distortion) and Movement (rhythm FX). Five expansion packs come with them: Chaos, Ignition, Beyond 4/4, Current and Spacetime. Together the packs add over 500 presets.
Output FX plugins need a 64-bit host that supports VST, VST3, AU or AAX. That covers the three plugins in the bundle, Portal, Thermal and Movement, which all run as effects on your tracks.
Movement adds tempo-locked rhythms to any input in real time. It has 300+ presets, 4 rhythm engines, an XY pad for performance and advanced sidechain modulation that can drive up to 38 parameters from the input.
