THE most iconic ep sounds
of the 80s & 90s

*** $269 intro sale ***
limited time only!

Ear Candy is a collection of the best and most iconic EP sounds heard in the chart topping hits of the 80s and 90s. These were the “high dollar” sounds that took mountains of top-notch gear to create: Yamaha DX, TX, FS, SY and GS synths; Roland JX, JD, and MKS synths & digital pianos; even a few specialty sounds from a Rhodes Chroma, Prophet 5, and more... almost 80 obsessively sampled sounds captured through top notch British mic preamps, various analog tape models in some cases, and iconic effects processing from the 80s.

Ear Candy is all about quality. These aren’t emulations with thousands of presets; they are the real deal, and represent the best of almost 80 different source sounds. No junk or filler, just the most musical, usable sounds these instruments are known for. Every sound was meticulously recorded and programmed for every nuance of playability and expression you get from the original hardware. In fact, most of these sounds outperform the originals in several ways! Most important, they are all “radio ready” so they sound like the iconic versions we heard on the radio.

• Highly curated library represents the best, most musically useful, and iconic EP sounds heard throughout the 80s and early 90s.

• Includes custom reverb impulses from the AMS RMX16: the unmistakeable non-linear reverb that was a crucial ingredient in so many 80s/90s hits.

• Built from the ground up for uncompromising performance in a live setting with extremely low CPU/RAM usage, ZERO authorization issues or other hassles of 3rd party plugins.

• Modular rack paradigm featuring realtime control over major sound shaping aspects that weren’t available on the original hardware: each module has independent controls for volume, coarse and fine tune, solo & mute, 3 effects sends, and chorus effects that emulate the classic Dimension D and Juno chorus circuits.
