Ohm Force is a privately owned company in Paris, France.
Ohm Force was founded in 2000 because we felt the world lacked a good fast-food company. The idea was simple. Make good sandwiches, with good looks and good taste and sell them over the Internet.
The latter idea appeared quickly to be impractical because of few raw materials availables, and the only kittens we caught were quickly adopted by OhmMen.
The aftermaths spelled D.O.O.M in wild crimson letters scorching the sky.
Yet, did we part ? Nope.
As we were all working on our resumés to apply to a well known fast-food chains (MacCatBurger, anyone ?), we noticed that many of us had an experience in software design and others designed GUIs for software. Heck ! Why not do audio plugins ? So we kept the same ideas and started development on the OhmBoyZ (we expect that if you are reading this page, you may have hint on what this OhmBoyZ is). Since those innocent times, we've gone quite a way. Our products won many prizes, are available in so many standards it'll be boring to enumerate. In late 2002, Ohm Force introduced the Plugin Standalone Applications, available for free. It's just like a cool toy : process samples or audio input through a full-fledged Ohm Force DSP. Do try these before purchase (we're sure you'll be convinced, so we're all in the "try-before-you-buy" type of things).
That's it. Of course, there are other things that we feel you might enjoy in our products :
Creativity. This is software, not hardware. Computers are powerful and cheap. The user interface of a computer is not one of a hardware rack. We can do in software insanely complex stuff that could not be done for cheap in hardware. Hence we do.
Ease of use. Not every musician is a PhD in Computer Science. We want you customer to understand how our plugins work, and quickly have fun (then be productive). MIDI, for instance, can be a real pain to setup. Ohm Force designed the AutoBind feature to remove the burden without flexibility.
Eye candy. Do you like good looking software ? We do too. In a mix of great artwork and confortable controls, Ohm Force products are designed to be used in tough situation (do you play live ? you know what I mean)
Customer support. We, Ohm Men, are also clients and buy stuff off the Internet. So we know what should be customer service and we do our best to reach this ideal.
Sound quality. All the rest with a crappy output would be useless to you. Every filter in our products is carefully crafted to give you the best sound in every situation.

Way Out Ware: Way Out Ware has perfected the software synth version of the ARP 2600, called the TimewARP 2600.
We've created a remarkable digital simulation of the 2600's fat analog sound while keeping all of the original control features.
Plus, some new goodies have been added, making the TimewARP 2600 even better than the real thing!

Aphex Systems was founded in 1975 in Massachusetts by Marvin Caesar and Curt Knoppel, the inventor of the Aural Exciter™.
The first Aural Exciter™ units were available exclusively on the rental basis of $30 per minute of finished recorded time.
The unit became so popular, especially with the Los Angeles music/recording studio crowd, that Aphex had to move to Hollywood.
Recognizing that there was a much bigger market than just the rental business, Aphex started selling the professional units, and introduced two low-cost models: Type B and Type C. The Aural Exciter circuit is now licensed by a growing list of manufacturers, including Yamaha, MacKenzie, Gentner, Emu and Bogen.
Aphex is dedicated to the development of high-quality products for the professional audio, broadcast, fixed installation, touring-sound and home-recording markets. Through that dedication, Aphex has developed a number of industry-standard devices, such as the Compellor®, Dominator®, Expander/Gate™ and Expressor,™ plus the Model 1100 Two-Channel and Model 1788 Eight-Channel Ultra-Precision Remotely Controllable Microphone Pre-Amplifiers, and the Model 2020 Mk III Broadcast Audio Processor.
