“Having been part of this business and the pro audio industry since the early 80’s, it feels very apt that we would find our natural home with Solid State Logic and Audiotonix. This alliance provides Harrison a strong future with access to further manufacturing, knowledge in engineering, and expanding our access to new channels and partners which increases our potential to grow this wonderful business. I’m particularly excited for both brands and their customers, as they will all reap the benefits of our sharing of ideas with our SSL colleagues” - Gary Thielman, President, Harrison Consoles

Hi Ben,

if you say 'hugely exciting' - it seems great. I'm not sure what are exact benefits, but hopefully we will see in near-future.

I'd also like to ask what exactly does this mean for end users (us)? 
- more rapid development
- perhaps partial roadmap for near future? 
- ..more midi implementation  
- or...? 

Thanks & looking forward to hear from you!

@dspasic:

It's early days yet ... the purchase was only just completed, and the last few weeks/months were mostly mechanical (accounting, etc)

Now the interesting part begins... and yes I think you can expect a faster development schedule, and a lot of collaboration with our new partners. But for now, our development continues regularly and I'm here working on the v9.1 update.....

Best,
-Ben

@Harrison / Ardour Staff -

I'd like to convey my most sincere congratulations in this event!
Upon initial news it seems like a great move indeed and I can only think of
how MB, MB32C and Harrison Plugins will improve in the upcoming months.
Here's to a long and successful relationship!

Cheers & Beers!

Is there a plan to continue Linux support?

Is there a plan to continue Linux support?

why would it go away?

[Ben@Harrison]

Thanks @PBuryk! I wish I could have told some of you sooner, but these things generally occur under strict NDA. Thanks for your long-time support!!!!

@Sojuzstudio: I don't anticipate any immediate changes wrt linux support. We're certainly continuing our developments with the expectation that linux will continue. Personally I'm a huge linux fan and user. On the other hand, for my 'real' audio tasks I use a mac.
