In this video, I walk you through how to use ARCADE made by Output.

Arcade is a Loop Synthesizer that allows you to play AND transform loops in real-time.

You can use the white keys to trigger the loops, and the black keys to modify the sounds.

There are SO many sounds and presets you’ll probably want to just start playing there first, but if you wanted to just use it as a sampler you can also use your own loops as well.

2 main components of Arcade:

LINES- have themes (SERIES)
Within the lines are KITS- think of it like arcade presets, Just a group of loops and sounds that go together (EPISODES)

The black keys transform the sounds using 3 functions:
sequencer
playhead
repeater

Hey friends! Thanks for watching my video! I apologize for the weird "flange" sound on my vocal. This video is older and I was still learning how to use screen flow at the time. People still got value out of the training so I left it up. Got another video on Arcade coming soon. 😁🙏

The one arcade tutorial i didn't click off of. So many valuable things, thank you so much. You're very good at explaining things <33

[mojoiam]

you're the first person to directly answer my question and tell me this is not a keyboard/piano like instrument library. Thank you for that because I've been pulling my hair trying to make it play chords and notes.

So glad you're enjoying arcade!! Keep creating!!!

Very Good video. I’m just starting out with Arcade. This video really solidified concepts for me. Cheers✌️❤️

[KaitavSapreMusic]

Loved your style of presentation. Great video! Keep it up! :)

[flowmaka]

Must admit I was reluctant to look at another Arcade video. Already I feel like you’ve opened up the understanding of this instrument in a major way. It’s starting to make sense now! Thank you for your help! Great video! Awesome teacher!

You're just one of the best on YouTube !! And Output Arcade is a blast to work with.

Dayum, Kris, you are SO good. I am trying to fast track my learning, and I'm doing a scoring mentorship but my engineering skills are way behind. Have some workshops and assignments and am getting totally stuck, started with one, then two then another idea and don't have soundproofing or proper studio setup and need to do real vox and acoustic guitar - don't know how to fade, drop volume then put it back up. ?! Now, suddenly my vocal track is registering super low. So frustrated, don't know how to use VSTs, or even colour the tracks/markers. But downloading Native Instruments and appreciate all your it-looks-so-easy tutorials. Wish me luck.

3 mins in and already the most informative video on Arcade! Thank u 🙏

Been paying for this for over 2 years....just couldn't get used to it. Your tutorial really made things clear. It's not a keyboard and I can't drag full midi really just a really nice sampler you trigger. Thanks for clearing that up, pretty sure I'm going to use it more from now on...

[AntBenskin]

You’re a really good trainer. Shows us exactly what is needed to know and very relaxed and clear explanation. Thank you

[kandr]

Arcade is all that, and a bag of chips ahoy's. I love it!!! Get your sound, tweak and manipulate, and Boom....you got a track. Keep up the good work Boss!!!

[lyteyearz]

You were so thorough unlike a lot of other tuts and that matters big time. I had to sub! Thank you for all of your efforts they are appreciated!

[wallace_nelson]

New to Arcade. I was searching for a really good tutorial / how to use and by far this is one of the best. New Subscriber Alert!

[bhavdeepghai]

Amazing. I always had second thoughts before using this plugin as i am a splice guy. But this is amazing.

[stephcarpediem]

You're the absolute best! Thank you so much for showing us how to use arcade. I'm SO excited to get started!

[jupiter]

Great Video, you sold it to me, I loved the way you consolidated the sample or bounce as some would say, you made it look so easy, and save the midi till you are sure you have your song. Made things so easy. Many thanks.

[elharrop]

Omg, this is a whole new world just waiting to be discovered!!
