Darker Digital has released Rompulator, a Kontakt-scripted ROM-synthesizer designed for multi-layer patches built from synthetic basses, brasses, strings, bells, choirs and more.
Rather than being pre-recorded, each single Rompulator instrument is created with up to three layers of looped multi-samples inside Kontakt.
Utilizing a classic method from hardware ROMplers, Rompulator has a small size of roughly 500 MB and very little patch loading time.
The factory library consists of over 200 customizable patches. Rompulator's GUI and synthesis features have been optimized for multi-layer sound design. Rompulator is a three-layer ROM-synthesizer meant to be tweaked.
Rompulator comes in a Kontakt 4.2 version and a Kontakt 5 version, applying the new K5 ladder filter models.
Price: $89. Rompulator has an introductory price of $59 until January 1st.
