Server breakdown + more news from NAMM – Waldorf, Rob Papen and Arturia
We apologize for the limited access to our site during the past 24 hours, our web hoster has had server problems – that has made our page slow to access or even unavailable.
With this being said the problem does not lie with us and we hope everything will be back to normal from now on.
Cheers Steelberry Clones

Introducing the Orphion
Orphion is a dynamic velocity touch playable sounds and manipulation app
The Orphion is a new percussion instrument, which will be ported to the iPad / iPhone. The video shows a prototype in which the iPad is used only as a remote control of a laptop, but the whole should be converted into a native app, so everyone can download in the App Store.
In order to provide potential developers with an advance can I need this budget.
