You can use your own samples right?

Seeing that you sell bundles:
Do you have an intro offer for owners of Signal, Rev and X-loops?

No, EXHALE is not designed for users to add their own samples. However, with some experience with Kontakt's sample mapping, you can get in to the back end and add your own samples. Also, you must have the full version of Kontakt 5. Output does not offer support on adding your own samples, but feel free to try!

LOVING Exhale so far!!!

[Monkberry]

This one's on my radar. Love the interface. I echo the sentiment that bringing in your own samples would have been a great feature but Output did a really nice job with parameter tweak functions as is. Looking forward to getting this.

I just tripped across this on Twitter, of all places. Are there any third party reviews? Here or elsewhere?
It certainly feels like a great product from the demos and walk-throughs, but has anyone had real-life track-making experience with it?

{Yes, I'm a blast from the past, but I am just getting back into e-based music again....)

Tom Cosm did a nice real time demo on YT.

Thanks. That was useful. Any others have an opinion or review. It's expensive, but it sure sounds good....

It was on my list of libraries to get by the end of 2015. I did pick it up after watching the walk through video. I still had concerns that not being able to bring in my own samples would make this limited, although it has a lot of presets content. Once you get under the hood and realize how much you can alter that content with effects and swapping out internal samples you'll soon realize how great this product really is. The GUI is brilliant and a joy to work with. I have much respect for Output. They are ahead of the curve.

Now, that's a pretty good answer. I _think_ I have other ways to play with vocal samples if I really, really want to. What I like about Exhale is its comprehensive set of features, and pretty good existing samples.

So I guess this goes to the top of the wishlist. Wishing, of course, there'd be some kind of specialoffer in coming weeks
