Opcode Back In Business Via Gibson!

All,

 

Apparently Gibson is putting Opcode back on the map with a 192K I/O interface. I hope they update Studio Vision to be Pro Tools-HD compatible. Comments anyone?

I'm with Dave. Besides, OMS has been updated, in a sense, by Apple as CoreMIDI in OS X. That's a good future, IMHO! :thu:

 

By this time next year, the majority of us most likely will have migrated, and OMS will be but a fading memory anyway.

I wonder if Gibson's first priority will be to release a Galaxy editor/librarian module for the Yamaha SPX990.

Nah, I think they're working on one for the Quadrasynth first. :D

OMS is dead and alas so too is svp.........

gibson is thinking people have very shorty memories and will forget/forgive them.

As someone who's worked there, I highly doubt that Opcode will support anything from the pre-Gibson days. It will be interesting to see if Henry really makes a run of the business before shutting it down again.

All,

 

Overall people seem pessimistic about Opcode reviving Vision/Studio Vision Pro.

Is this 'sour grapes', or are you all 'really' that strongly against Gibson's corporate tactics.

 

Seems to me that putting Vision/Studio Vision Pro back on the map falls right in line with issuing new hardware that would support updated versions of these programs(i.e.: the 192K audio interface, & USB MIDI interface they have planned for release).

I find it a bit hard to believe that even Gibson would revive Opcode software for the Mac after Apple has taken a stake in the Pro Audio software market by buying eMagic.

 

The hardware side I can believe, though I can't see them leveraging anything else they have (i.e., they don't have a mixer or pro-audio line that they can build on, leverage or rebrand under the Opcode name).

If they really wanted to revive SV they would have done it a long time ago. They're so dumb it's pathetic. Apple could have bought SV off them instead of Logic, because trying to catch up with the other programs now with DP 3.1, Cubase SX, Apple/LogicX, and even an upcoming improved midi-wise ProTools, who the hell would want to get on the bus of a resurrected zombie still run by the corporation that killed it in the first place and a reputation for killing other innovative products as well?

FWIW, I would be surprised if this weren't a moot discussion.

 

Think about the effort and resources that would be required in order to make Studio Vision Pro competitive again. Not only would Gibson have to hire away many of the best programmers in the business, but then these programmers would have to get to know SVP's code well enough to work with it. The next step would be to catch up on several years' worth of falling behind in features compared to the competition (as Raul mentioned), while also porting the product to OS X.

 

This monumental task would have to be undertaken by a company whose main strength is not the software business. Finally, if all of this could be accomplished, and that's a big if IMO, Gibson would still have to convince a burned and skeptical public to trust them again.

 

Some of these things may be doable but most, or all, of them? How likely does this seem?

I'll be surprised if the 192 interface sees the light of day, let alone Studio Vision 5. I still use Studio Vision, so do a lot of people. It would be nice if they would revive it, but I'm not holding my breath.

All,

 

Well if you were to send a mandate to Gibson listing must have features that DP, Cubase, & Logic currently have which features would they be. Also what features of SVP do you miss when working in DP, Cubase, & Logic. Last of all what inovative features would you like to see in a sequencer that none of the above currently has.

Just ask anyone who bought a Baldwin piano a year ago who can't get any warranty work done because Gibson (new owners of Baldwin) won't honor the warranty.
