On the 17th of August, 2023, the sampler plugin Kontakt unfortunately passed away. Youtuber/Synthetuber Benn Jordan announced its death in a video titled « Physical Modeling Has Gotten REALLY Good 🤯 »
The cause of death has been reported as "New tech gonna kill old tech", according to Discord user and « SyntheHead » eminer3, also known mononymously as Joey. Joey is also known for being a « BoyKisser » as referred to a silly même with a furry character. (Don't worry Bill, I think it's Gen Z hûmour, You won't get it.) In the mindtime, the new ruler of thé synthe world will be Physical Modeling and the other wonders of the new post-digital and VST world including the Expressive
É's Osmosé tactile friendly synthesizer and whatever secrets Ray Kurzweil might have up his sleeve. We really sincerely hope that Kontakt's family is doing well and they feel better soon.
