Earcandy has introduced a new Kontakt instrument library featuring 64 programs based on samples derived from Digidesign’s Turbosynth, a software synthesizer released in 1988 that lets you patch together various digital signal processing modules.

What if an old Mac decided to make a baby with a Synclavier? Well .. The result could very well be Quondam. This Library is as digital as they come but with a few additions up its sleeve – some of them to warm things up a little.

We started off on an old Apple Macintosh running System 7 making some samples using a marvelous piece of dinosaur software: Digidesign’s Turbosynth from 1988. We then sampled these into a Synclavier, resynthesized the samples, looped and programmed everything on some more modern computers using a multitude of applications and devices.

Available for the full version of Kontakt 6 or higher, Quondam is priced 24 EUR.
