New England Digital
New England Digital Corporation (NED) was founded in 1976 in Norwich, Vermont, later relocating to White River Junction. Growing out of work at Dartmouth College by Jon Appleton and Frederick Hooven, it was engineered by Sydney Alonso (hardware) and Cameron Jones (software). NED pioneered the Synclavier, an FM digital synthesizer that evolved into a full digital audio workstation nicknamed the « tapeless studio ». Around 1981 the company was among the first to record digital audio directly to hard disk. Hit by the early-1990s downturn, plunging personal-computer prices and very high build costs (military/aviation-grade parts), NED wound down around 1992-1993; some assets went to Fostex, and the Synclavier name was later revived by Synclavier Digital.
