The virtual synthesis technologies, previosly marketed by Creamware, now continue in the new Plugiator desktop sound module and expansion cards for MIDI keyboards.

ASX expansion modules will be used in CME UF, VX series.

Among the products featuring ASX boards is the fully-weighted five-octave MIDI keyboard Logicon from ICON. There's not much info about this particular keyboard though, excluding the NAMM'07 and the last Musikmesse news, only some video.

And, what's up with Creamware? Let us quote Matrixsynth comments here:

"Creamware 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.

For some reason, cutting-edge German synth/audio companies have a habit of collapsing. For example,

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."

Anyway, in the name of Use-Audio we now get mystically-named product, Plugiator. The thing is not so big though, a small blofeld-like module, which uses the same ASX plugins. The price for this desktop-format unit is EUR399 or USD469. Detailed specs will be avaliable soon.
