Cheetah Marketing was a United Kingdom-based company that produced electronic music-related hardware products and software for home computer systems during the 1980s.
The company was closed in 1993 when the UK recession badly hit the share price of its owners.
After this Chris Wright and Nick Owen bought the music products division and formed Soundscape Digital Technology Ltd.
Among their offerings were the SpecDrum (a sample-based drum machine), a Cheetah Sound Sampler, a Cheetah Midi Interface, and in the later, 8-bit/16-bit drum machines, music sequencer, and a range of music keyboards (including polyphonic analog / digital synthesizers and rack mount modules).
Cheetah's range of music products expanded quickly during the 1980s when they began to work with external designers.
