It's hard to know what happened here, but it's probably something like this E-Magic start to do really well with version 5. You could see it overtaking Cubase in popularity. E-Magic struggle to keep up production. This explains a lot about the last few months. Cash flow may have been a problem - it's hard to go from small to huge - most companies fall at this stage. Apple make a bid for E-Magic. Not sure how the company are set up, share-wise, but it could have been a hostile takeover of just a 'too good to miss' offer. Apple see their small music market share held by integrating Logic, the most popular Mac based sequencer. Makes perfect market sense for Apple, none for E-Magic. But E-Magic do not , in reality, exist any more as a seperate company. I could be totally wrong of course! Regards Stephen Bennett. Composer and sound design.
