SIGNAL Black Friday pricing is $99.50, 50% off, until Nov 22, 2026, on Output's Kontakt instrument built around 500 Pulse Instruments.
The maker pitches it as a new way to pulse: fat analog synths and well-recorded live instruments combined in one playable engine.
It loads in the full version of Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player, so you don't need a paid Kontakt license to run this Kontakt instrument.
SIGNAL is a Kontakt instrument with 500 Pulse Instruments, each meant to be playable the moment it loads.
The library runs to 40GB uncompressed and mixes analog synths, digital synths and organic instruments.
The maker calls every Pulse Instrument a crafted starting point with a lot of depth and variety behind it.
You can run up to 4 pulses at once, and every pulse locks to your project tempo.
The rhythm tools are the Looper, step sequencers, arpeggiators and LFOs. The engine runs 4 rhythms simultaneously and offers Basic and Advanced modes.
So a single patch can stack several moving layers on one tempo grid, which saves you building that sync by hand.
Four central macro sliders sit on the front panel, and each of the 500 Pulse Instruments gets its own set of four.
That means the controls you reach for change with the sound, so you tweak what that patch was built around.
Built-in processing covers:
A tagging system helps you find sounds fast, so you can filter the library instead of scrolling through 500 patches.
The maker lists these system requirements:
Press quotes the maker features include DJ Mag calling SIGNAL "bloody immense" and Ask Audio Magazine calling it "a HUGE sound".
A free SIGNAL demo is also offered, along with a SIGNAL+ Bundle that is exclusive to Plugin Boutique.
Yes. The SIGNAL Black Friday deal is $99.50, 50% off, and it ends Nov 22, 2026. That gets you Output's Kontakt instrument with its 500 Pulse Instruments and 40GB of content.
No. SIGNAL runs in the full version of Kontakt or in the free Kontakt Player. The maker lists version 5.8.1 or higher as the requirement, on Mac OS X 10.11 or higher or Windows 7 or higher.
A Pulse Instrument is one of SIGNAL's 500 sounds, built from analog synths, digital synths or organic instruments. You can run up to 4 pulses at once, and each one locks to your tempo.
Each Pulse Instrument has its own 4 macro sliders. You also get rhythm tools (Looper, step sequencers, arpeggiators, LFOs) plus filters, convolution reverb, saturation and delays built into the instrument.
