Though it's perhaps better known as a source of really first-rate balsamic vinegar and fast cars, since 1996, Modena, Italy has also been the home of IK Multimedia. One of the pioneers in applying digital signal processing power to modeling classic analog gear, IK's first product was a model of a vintage Abbey Road console, created when founders Davide Barbi and Enrico Iori asked each other if they could accurately emulate electronic circuits algorithmically and discovered, to the joy of musicians everywhere, that the answer was a resounding, "Yes!" Since that first product, IK, with their motto of "Musicians First," has continued to create essential plug-ins and apps designed to place powerful tools in the hands of musicians everywhere. From SampleTank, T-RackS, and SampleTank to Amplitube and a dizzying array of apps and accessories for mobile devices, IK has maintained a steady stream of essential software, designed to help make better music, no matter where you may happen to be, along with the hardware to interface to whatever device you choose to use.
