“Really enjoying the infinite possibilities of Quantum. The sounds are very cool with a lot of analog character, and it’s lovely to just play some chords and hear the sonorities evolve. The GUI is easy to navigate, but there’s loads of control so you really feel like you can sculpt, modulate and perform to your own taste. I can see this being really useful for scoring anything from dramas to dark thrillers.“
DAVID BUCKLEY COMPOSER
JASON BOURNE, NOBODY, THE TOWN, THE GOOD FIGHT
“Quantum is a beautifully designed virtual instrument that will transport you to another dimension. Evolving textures and evocative timbres abound. It’s awesome to have this software in my sonic world!”
JORDAN RUDESS KEYBOARDIST & MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
DREAM THEATER
“My search is over for a library that bridges the orchestral and soundscape worlds. Quantum is amazing out of the box, and customized, the options are endless. Emergence Audio truly captured the feeling of infinity – it’s an all-around great plug-in, a must-have for all studios, and a great addition to my dual synth keytar.“
NOMI ABADI COMPOSER
SEBASTIAN, NASA, NORY® DOUBLE SYNTH KEYTAR CREATOR
“It’s rare to find a synth library that doesn’t sound cheesy or unoriginal, but Quantum shines with uniqueness whilst having a professional and cinematic sound. The pads, drones and pulses of Quantum are really inspiring to any composer, and quick sketching can result in a fully formed sequence. Where I really loved using this library was in addition to more traditional orchestral elements, layering Quantum with strings and piano for a subtle yet powerful textural addition. With an ability to control almost everything for each library preset, the possibilities are endless.“
SID ACHARYA COMPOSER
NASA, LISBON AQUARIUM, HOUSTON SPACE CENTRE
“The pads are all tasteful and totally usable, none of those ‘filler’ presets that you get with so many libraries. Each one is so well crafted, I love this thing!“
JACOB YOFFEE COMPOSER
THE WONDER YEARS 2021, AMAZON’S FREE MEEK, DISNEY’S ANDI MACK
“Quantum has become an essential instrument in my toolkit for adding rich texture and movement to my compositions. It features an intuitive GUI that inspires endless possibilities from scratch, while delivering beautifully crafted atmospheric and rhythmic presets ready to plug and play for the busy composer. Quantum is surely a secret weapon for the working professional and hobbyist!“
MATTHEW RAETZEL COMPOSER
FORGED IN FIRE, THE 11TH ORDER, RING OF SILENCE
“Quantum is a quick and efficient pad instrument that is light on the CPU. It is quick and easy to use and produces evolving inspiring pads useful for scoring in various genres. The random feature produces very musical results giving you access to many additional patches beyond the included presets.”
DANNY LUX COMPOSER
MANIFEST, GREY’S ANATOMY, NYPD BLUE
“Being a creator in multi-genres, Quantum has easily become an essential part of my creative palette. Immediately after going through a few presets, I was easily inspired by the quality, playability and ease of the GUI. Finding the sound you didn’t know you were searching for comes quick and effortlessly. I’m happy to include this superb tool to my sonic template.”
GILDE FLORES COMPOSER & PRODUCER
THE WOLVERINE, UBISOFT, LIONSGATE
“I thoroughly enjoyed using Quantum, first, as a catalyst for ideas and then as a great tool for creating textures that subtly develop over time. Just one note, using some of the presets provided, can spark a number of ideas, while the intuitive GUI allows you to dive in and tweak every aspect of the patches. Emergence Audio have created a really useful plug-in that I’ll be sure to come back to again and again.“
FRASER A. CAMPBELL COMPOSER
“Quantum is a unique sounding instrument. I find it especially useful when I want to create warm sounding pad movements and textures on my tracks. The core sounds and presets are high quality and the interface offers pretty much endless opportunities of sound combinations and design.”
ARTTU SILVAST COMPOSER
YLE’S INSIDE ENCE, BAHER OF FINLAND
“I found Quantum quick to load and navigate from the get-go, so I immediately began exploring — definitely hold down the keys from the low to the high notes in thick chords, and get carried away as layers flow into each other! Also be sure to play with the mod wheel, which is assigned accordingly: sometimes that’s cutoff to make your pads swell in real-time, and for other patches the modulation shifts between waveforms. There are unique touches here, like the “trigger releases” that play the note again upon key lift-off, and you can get some awesome jittering ostinati out of it.”
TORLEY ARTIST
“QUANTUM provides awesome pads, drones, textures and atmospheres, e.g. for suspenseful underscore tracks, which on the one hand leave enough room for dialogue-driven scenes and on the other hand provide subtle, dynamic change and emotional movement.”
BINA & JU COMPOSERS
I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE (GERMANY), DDC BREAKDANCE (2X WORLD CHAMPIONS)
“There are not many atmospheric sample libraries out there adding a unique character to a track. Quantum is exactly one of those!”
ALEX PFEFFER COMPOSER & SOUND DESIGNER
PRODUCED MUSIC WITH, TWO STEPS FROM HELL, SARAH BRIGHTMAN, MICK GORDON
“Quantum flows like the ocean. The pads are simply alive, they help my music pieces sound modern and organic without having to dig into complex programming. I really enjoy the sense of movement of the presets, as you play with chords the layers of sounds warmly evolve and take your scores into another level. The team behind this virtual instrument has done an excellent job, thank you!”

PHILOSOPHY
CONTINUOUS TRANSFORMATION MINDSET
Quantum creates the feeling of infinitely changing sonic motion. Sculpt ambient beds and standout moments filled with unmatched character and depth. During Quantum’s creation there was a conscious intention to perform each note sampled slightly differently than the last within the same sound source. This gives an evolutionary cycle that never repeats the same way over a remarkably long period of time.
Our intuitive Infinite Motion Engine™ and Non-Static Sampling™ technique will help you instantly create an ever-expanding blend of pads, textures, soundscapes, drones and pulses filled with nuance. Great for Film, TV and Game Scoring, Ambient Music, Contemporary Era Music, Drone Music, Sound Design, Trailer Music, New Age/Meditation Music, and so much more.
Quantum contains analog synths and processed organic instruments recorded and performed by multi-award-winning composer and founder Michael Vignola.
ENTER THE QUANTUM REALM
non-static sampling™
MOVEMENT THAT FEELS INFINITE
Non-Static Sampling™ is an approach developed by founder Michael Vignola that introduces a constantly evolving and unpredictable quality into a sonic environment, adding depth and realism. Rather than simply relying on a static and predetermined sample, this technique infuses each note sampled with subtle and unique variations in the performance that preserves the natural complexity and richness of live instrumentation. This keeps the listener engaged and the audio feeling fresh, emotive, and dynamic. We believe when combining this technique with our Infinite Motion Engine™ we have created a powerful and innovative new tool that allows users to instantly elevate their audio productions to new levels of authenticity and artistry.
