All those loops can be more useful than you think.

Loops can be tuned to fit your songs, just press the Key selector button near Macros in the right-hand corner and you will get the full rank of key notes that allow you to set the main key, and furthermore, there are two small buttons below that allow us to choose between major or minor scale. The next play mode is Loop, where we can find another set of 125 presets bringing various loops ranked over the keyboard inside every preset. I tried to make a few such melodies with Exhale and the end result is quite appealing because Exhale sounds really unique, giving a steady character to those simple melodies. As soon as you try to recreate this logic in your songs, playing a simple melody with your synth, it just sounds idiotic, a long way from amazing. As you know, most of the well-known hits contain simple hooks that can sound somewhat idiotic but still amazing since they are played with some special sounds. This play mode is perfect for building short-to-medium-length melody phrases that sound quite unique. Note play mode offers 250 presets containing various effected voices made from syllables, short vocal voices, or even vocal pads chromatically ranked over the keyboard. The sliders are visible in all of the three main play modes. You can assign any of the 24 parameters to each slider. Those parameters are different for different presets and can be easily changed by simply pressing the Macros button in the upper right corner. The first things we notice in the main window are four sliders for controlling the most useful parameters for a chosen preset. Everything is straightforward and quite logical inside the Main window, also inside the Engine window where you can go far deeper with the manipulations, changing vocal samples or basic parameters. After watching some video clips I realized it’s not rocket science and actually every user can do it without too many problems. Or if you are the less adventurous type of fellow, just changing parameters on existing presets. After all, we get more than 500 presets, and if this is not enough we can make our own, choosing up to two included vocal samples for the Note play mode or a bit of a longer sample like a vocal phrase in Loop or Slice play mode, further manipulating it (or them, in Note play mode) in many possible ways, tweaking various parameters.
#Exhale by output free vst professional
The only bad news is that you can’t use your own vocal samples, but the main reason for that is quite simple: to preserve the high quality of material – as all those included vocal samples are professionally recorded by professional session vocalists or band vocalists and are already pre-produced. Or even better as a short vocal line to spice up your instrumental. In most cases they are some “doo, doo-woop” and “yea – yeaah” sort of phrases, but they sit perfectly well as background vocals. Of course, presets don’t bring any specific words or long phrases. Exhale presets were not intended to sound like a recording take made with live vocalists, but in most cases, when you build a melody, it sounds like a real, live vocalist take that has been heavily processed with some weird effects. The main catch is that most vocal libraries sound somewhat fake – they are almost there, but you can still recognize the take is not a live recording. Presentation video clips somehow don’t show the full potential of Exhale because most of the presets are more for ambient-oriented music, but as soon as you start building melodies from the more vivid presets you will find Exhale to be one of the most inspirational and useful instruments of the latest round of releases. The end result is very impressive as all those vocal samples become almost unrecognizable, being heavily manipulated with all the tools, effects and modulators that are available inside the instrument engine. What exactly does that mean? Actually it’s a Kontakt player based instrument that uses vocal samples as a base for the included presets. It is truly unbelievable what can be done just with a collection of vocal samples and a few effects. We examine one of the most unusual, appealing and original instruments found in VST world.
