Soundfont -sf2-: Ensoniq Ts-10

Leo Focht is 73 now. He builds model ships and has perfect hearing for his age. He does not own a computer. But once a year, his grandson brings a laptop over. The grandson, a music producer named Leo III, loads up a DAW and pulls up a file. It’s always the same file. He plays a middle C. The "DreamPad" swells, its noisy, imperfect loop cycling forever, the ghost of the TS-10 breathing through a 26-year-old SoundFont.

Three months in, with 47 patches converted, a power surge fried his Pinnacle card. The hard drive with the raw samples was corrupted. He had backups of the loops, but the original multi-samples—the 2,000+ individual notes—were gone. The TS-10 was a rental. It was due back in two days. Ensoniq TS-10 SoundFont -SF2-
