As Voyetra Turtle Beach, the company sold millions of sound cards to Dell in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Voyetra was originally founded by Carmine Bonanno and Fred Romano in 1975 as Octave-Plateau, one of the original companies included in the MIDI standard, and had developed drivers and software for nearly every sound card manufacturer in the world during the early 1990s. The new combined company would eventually be known as Voyetra Turtle Beach. In December 1996, the company was sold by ICS to Voyetra Technologies in Yonkers, New York. CCRMA's Music Kit and DSP Tools running on Motorola 56001 DSP, initially developed for NeXTcube system, was later ported on NeXTSTEP with Turtle Beach Fiji/Pinnacle DSP cards. (now defunct), Creative Labs, and Media Vision. This product was called "MultiSound." The MultiSound product competed with more established products of the day from Advanced Gravis (now defunct), Ad Lib, Inc. This card used high quality A/D and D/A, a high quality synthesizer from eMu, and an onboard DSP chip. In 1990, Turtle Beach began developing its second PC sound card. Among the first of its kind, the product was named the "56K digital recording system" and was released in 1990. In 1988, Turtle Beach began to work on developing its first hardware product, a hard disk-based audio editing system.
Ensoniq decided to resell Vision through their dealer network and Turtle Beach Softworks became a profitable company. The software, called "Vision", connected the Mirage to a PC and used the PC's screen and graphics to make the programming and editing of sounds much easier. The Mirage was the first low cost sampling device that allowed musicians to play realistic choirs, pianos, horns, and other instruments in their performances. The company's first product was a graphical editing system that supported the breakthrough Ensoniq Mirage sampling keyboard.
