Creamware (company)

Creamware Audio GmbH (typically styled as creamw@re) was a manufacturer of DSP-based sound cards and synthesizers in Siegburg, Germany.

Creamware also developed several digital audio software/hardware combination systems that became popular with radio broadcasters throughout the late 1990s.

After several long periods of financial trouble, the company was finally taken over and reorganized by Sonic Core.

Modular III was a modular synthesizer running on DSPs (digital signal processors, a type of computer chip designed for signal processing), as part of the software environment provided for the Creamware 'Scope' line of sound cards.

The later revisions (versions 2 and 3) took greater advantage of the fact that a software implementation can have elements not available to in hardware, such as the ability to provide bespoke user interfaces, and also added a number of new modules with each release.
