Steinberg is a German musical software and equipment company based in Hamburg. It mainly produces MIDI music sequencer software, software synthesizers and digital audio editing tools.
History
The company was founded in 1984 by Karl Steinberg and Manfred Rürup. Its first product was the MIDI sequencer Steinberg Pro 16 for the Commodore 64. The company has changed name from Steinberg Research to Steinberg Soft- und Hardware GmbH, and was active in the United States for some years as Steinberg North America, Inc. In January 2003, the company was acquired by US firm Pinnacle Systems, within which it operated as an independent company producing its products before being sold to Yamaha in December, 2004.
Products
- ASIO (a low-latency communication protocol between software and sound cards)
- VST (a protocol allowing third-party audio plugins and virtual instruments)
- LTB (providing accurate timing for its now-discontinued MIDI interfaces)
- VSL (an audio/MIDI network protocol which allows the connection and synchronisation of multiple computers running Steinberg software)
Steinberg's notable packages include the sequencers Cubase and Nuendo, as well as WaveLab (a digital audio editor) and numerous VST plugins.
