“I was just changing the— and it was in Arcade. Arcade, that's it. I can't remember the patch.”
Oli and Dan spent hours building the bridge/drop-down section of Kool-Aid from an Output Arcade patch, modulating and reversing it with the keys; they note they rarely use it but leaned on it heavily that day.

“I used this plugin Portal a ton. It's like an Output audio effect, it's like a granular reverb.”
Daniel James used Portal to mangle a slide-guitar part into the 'dying robot' chorus texture on Kill Me.
“Here's another time I use Portal. So this sound, this is the sample, and then this is the original.”
Portal is used again to transform a pitched string sample into an ambient texture buried in Kill Me.
“I started again messing with Portal. There's a setting in Portal I use a lot called Ambient Lake.”
Portal's Ambient Lake preset on a vocal tail created the dreamlike transition into the Parachute chorus.
“I threw a little bit of another Output plugin I use a lot, it's called Thermal. It's a distortion grain phaser filter thing.”
Thermal, on a 'drum overhead slam' preset, was used to rough up the dry drum loop leading into Parachute's chorus.
“I use Output a lot. I love their stuff. They also have this thing Arcade that I use.”
Asked for go-to gear, Daniel names Output as a favourite maker and Arcade as a regular tool.
“Throwing different, like the Portal effect on stuff.”
Portal is again cited as a key processor for turning samples into textures.

“then I just ran it through distortion and this thermal thing... it's basically making it louder with drive”
Thermal added drive and width to Daffodil's drums, but he bounces stems with and without it for mixing because it does too much.
