Solid State Logic Buys Sydec Audio Engineering to Beef Up Digital Audio Workstation Development
Solid State Logic (SSL) has deepened its support for workstation users
with the purchase of Sydec Audio Engineering NV, developers of
the Soundscape range of workstation partner products. SSL says
the acquisition
of the Soundscape team and technology will allow SSL to develop exciting
new tools for existing and new applications.
SSL's existing investment in workstation production tools has grown
in the past twelve months to encompass controllers, analog and digital
rack processors and software plug-ins.
The Soundscape team brings significant PC platform development experience
to SSL. The relationship also opens new commercial channels and allows a broader
range of SSL and Soundscape products to be distributed around the world, delivering
SSL’s established brand values to a wider range of users.
SSL's recent investments in renewing the hardware and software of its
manufacturing technology and updating its manufacturing processes will
also bring significant benefits to both companies. This will ensure that
high standards of quality and delivery are maintained as volumes are
increased.
Sydec's General Manager Erik Wijnen is enthusiastic about working with
Solid State Logic: "It's amazing to have access to the full range
of resources of a great company like SSL. This will allow us to work
with the SSL team to focus on new ideas for products and expand the team
here at Sint-Niklaas in Belgium."
Commenting on the acquisition, SSL's Managing Director Antony David
said, "This is an excellent fit for SSL and supports our concept
of providing quality tools for the DAW environment. We're committed to
working with a range of companies to improve and democratize the creative
process and this gives us a great opportunity to accelerate our involvement."
