Prosoniq

It also licensed proprietary technologies in the audio/music DSP sector to software manufacturers including Emagic,[1] Steinberg,[2] Digidesign,[3] TwelveTone Systems, Merging,[4] DAVID, AutoDesk/Discreet and others.

Stephan Bernsee, being a music enthusiast and an avid keyboard player, became interested in the application of artificial neural network processing to sound manipulation.

He created an automatic audio morphing software for the ATARI 1040ST which was later ported to the Silicon Graphics computers and ultimately to the Apple Macintosh, for which it was sold under the name "sonicWORX" from 1994 to 2004.

In 2004, Stephan Bernsee retired from the daily business at Prosoniq to concentrate on the development of new technologies at the DSP Dimension, leaving Bernhard Bouché in position as the CEO.

Prosoniq also announced a successor of its sonicWORX audio editing software designed to extract, process or suppress individual sounds, notes and instruments in a song.

The software got widespread coverage in the media when they demonstrated its capabilities (and potential impact on the music industry) by extracting Peter Gabriel's voice from his famous song "Don't Give Up".

Within the first days of the FIFA World Cup 2010, Prosoniq came out with a free "VuvuX" AudioUnit plug in to remove the Vuvuzela noise from the audio commentary without affecting speech and background atmosphere.
