    Camel Audio were a great company, with top quality products.

      Truly - one of the best synths I've come across. Wonder what happens to all of the sound libraries though - most of them were made by third parties, so I wonder if the rights revert to them (as they'll no longer be getting any renumeration), or have Apple borged the lot?

    A quick search reveals that Camel essentially shut down at the beginning of the year. Apple may have bought it - probably for peanuts - to get a brand-name, a patent ($DEITY forbid), software to build into one of their own products, or simply a (small, admittedly) user base.
