  • Emagic was a music software and hardware company based in Rellingen, Germany and a satellite office in Grass Valley, CA. On July 1, 2002 Emagic was bought by Apple Computer. Emagic's Windows-based product offerings were discontinued on September 30, 2002. The company was best known for its music sequencer, Logic. Logic stemmed from the then famous Creator, then Notator, made by C-Lab (the company's forerunner) for the Atari ST platform. In 1992, Notator Logic was launched for Atari and Macintosh, followed by a version for Windows. The "Notator" was dropped from the name and the product was redesigned from the ground up, and the product became known under the name "Emagic Logic". Original copies of Emagic's logic retailed for $699 and sold its plugins for $99-$299 apiece before Apple bundled them all together. When Apple bought Emagic, Logic had "Emagic" dropped from the title, and is now called Logic Pro (with a cut-down version called Logic Express). In 1995, Emagic (then C-Lab) bought the rights to the hardware design of the Atari Falcon computer and began producing their own versions due to continued demand for an inexpensive Digital Audio Workstation. It was discontinued when commodity PC and Macintosh hardware became more cost-effective than the proprietary Atari based systems. In late 2007, the product line was revised to a software package, Logic Studio, including Logic Pro 8 and MainStage (a live performance application) and Logic Express 8 as the cut-down package. The version 8 product line was compatible with Intel Macs and has a notably lower pricetag than previous versions. The other major software product that Emagic offered was SoundDiver, a sound editor which could be adapted for several different hardware synthesizers. While there was a beta version for Mac OS X, production of SoundDiver appears to have been discontinued. Emagic formerly offered a line of audio interface hardware, the Audiowerk PCI cards, as well as USB units. A potential post-acquisition successor to these products, the unreleased Asteroid FireWire interface, was the subject of the Apple v. Does trade secret litigation.
  • Emagic war ein bedeutender unabhängiger Hersteller von Hard- und Software zur Musikproduktion mit Sitz in Rellingen bei Hamburg. Gegründet wurde die Emagic Soft- und Hardware GmbH im September 1992 von Sven Junge (Geschäftsführer), der damals noch Kindel hieß, Chris Adam (Geschäftsführer Entwicklung) und Dr. Gerhard Lengeling (Entwicklungsleiter). Zuvor hatten Lengeling und Adam beim Unternehmen C-LAB die Programme Scoretrack und Supertrack für den Commodore 64 entwickelt, und dann Creator und Notator SL für den Atari ST. Unter der neuen Firma brachten sie 1993 Notator Logic für Atari ST und Mac heraus, später auch für Windows. Der Produktname ist schließlich verkürzt worden zu Logic. 1994 wurde in Grass Valley (Kalifornien) das amerikanische Tochterunternehmen Emagic Incorporated gegründet. Am 1. Juli 2002 wurde Emagic von Apple Computer übernommen. Die Entwicklung der Produktversionen für Microsoft Windows wurde kurz danach eingestellt. Seitdem wird Logic nur noch für Apple Macintosh weitergeführt. Die Hardware-Entwicklung wurde nahezu aufgegeben. Fast alle angebotenen Software-Instrumente wurden in Logic direkt integriert, wodurch sich die Anzahl der Softwareprodukte drastisch reduzierte auf Logic Pro für professionelle Anwender und Logic Express für Anwender, die nicht alle professionellen Funktionen brauchen. Ab Version 7 (2004) ist der Markenname Emagic durch Apple ersetzt worden. Beide Programmvarianten sind kompatibel zu GarageBand, Apples Musiksoftware für Einsteiger.
  • Emagic is een voormalig Duits bedrijf dat Logic en SoundDiver ontwikkeld heeft. Het werd in 2004 opgekocht door Apple; de producten worden sindsdien onder de naam Apple verder ontwikkeld.
