So Use-Audio is Frank Hund's new company? This is really confusing, especially since the "other" Creamware descendent, Soniccore, will be releasing SCOPE Version 5 shortly, which makes the SCOPE platform Windows Vista compatible.
ReplyDeleteSo what happened to Creamware, then?
ReplyDeleteCreamware went bankrupt and two of their developers formed Soniccore and took over the intellectual property. I'm not sure, but I think there was another company that got rights, too.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, cutting-edge German synth/audio companies have a habit of collapsing. For example,
Waldorf
Creamware
Prosoniq
Hartmann
Now that I remember, the rights were split between the companies so that one had a hardware bias and the other had a software bias. So, it seems that Sonicore is focussing on the old Scope platform, and Use-Audio is doing new hardware products. Soniccore has the old ASB boxes though.
