OSXTools



Update: Via the comments, "Stephan Bernsee wasn't a Hartmann programmer btw. he's the founder and former CTO of Prosoniq (http://www.prosoniq.com)"

And from Stephan Bernsee himself, on Moogulator:
"I used to work for Prosoniq who licensed the Neuron synthesis technology to Hartmann) and the company OSXTools has no affiliation with Hartmann, nor will it be a successor of that company or provide any support for the Hartmann range of products.

I thought this might be useful information - btw. you can find a very active forum for user-to-user support for the Hartmann range of products at http://www.surroundsfx.com/forum/ "

Title link takes you to OSXTools, a new company by Stephen Bernsee. New products will come in 2006. Note the design style in the image to the left. I can't wait to see what they bring to the table.

"OSXTools' founder and CTO, Stephan Bernsee, is the creator of many innovative products you may know or use, such as the (now discontinued) sonicWORX audio editing software, the Prosoniq range of plug ins including the OrangeVocoder, Prosoniq morph and Magenta and the basic technology behind the Hartmann Music synthesizer. He has developed the Timefactory time stretching products for Prosoniq which are used in almost all of todays major software products such as Cubase, Nuendo, Cakewalk, Pyramix and many more. He has recently developed a new time stretching/pitch shifting technology called DIRAC, now used to guarantee unprecedented quality DSP processing in the Smoke and Fire products of Discreet/Autodesk and upcoming products from other companies."

  2. No, it's the Dirac time stretching he is referring to (see http://www.dspdimension.com/data/html/dirac.html). "Dirac" was a mathematician and has several things named after him. Stephan Bernsee wasn't a Hartmann programmer btw. he's the founder and former CTO of Prosoniq (http://www.prosoniq.com)

  3. Yeah, the BBC Dirac is a video codec. The DSP Dirac is an audio timestretching (used in Wavelab 6 for example). There are many more products named Dirac, btw.
