After all, he isn't the Big Boss at Emagic, he is an employee (I hope he still is...) Take-overs like this normally aren't being discussed and voted upon by employees. I have no idea what happened, but a company sell-off like this smells like a desperate move from a sinking ship, in order to save at least something. Who knows, even the Emagic heads may be utterly sad about this development. And it makes me wonder why there's not a single post from Emagic here today. My guess is, either they are are much more surprised and shocked than we are (can you imagine...), or maybe the new masters don't want them to participate anymore. Chris

Don't forget that the SoundDiver-Users mailing list is not an official Emagic (or Apple mailing list). Don't expect official comments here. -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Developer (Logic Control integration) Unitor8 Control Project Manager

At that time, Emagic staff posted a plethora of (obviously spurious) reasons why this would be foolish, destructive, unthinkable, 'never happen', etc., etc. It sure would be nice to hear now how those "reasons" no longer apply...
