Sonoma Wire Works, makers of RiffWorksrecording software and the FourTrack and InstantDrummer iPhone Apps, has acquired the entire Submersible Music product line, including the DrumCore and KitCore software and drum content says The Syndey Morning Herald. The man behind Submersible is Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft and founder of investment firm Vulcan Capital. Allen Submersible to “help him in his own songwriting”.
Submersible started as a project within Vulcan and was initially meant to be a search engine designed to manage an extensive collection of loop libraries. In the end the company went on to develop its main product DrumCore, which is a combination of a database/browser for musical content, a library of drum content from ‘world-class’ drummers like Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) and Sly Dunbar (Bob Marley), and software tools for audio content generation and export.
