IT & Software

Karel Bassez is a self-taught software engineer, specialized in real-time audio processing. After creating several software plug-ins for other companies, he joined our team in January 2009 with the development of the Vienna Suite Convolution Reverb. When he's not busy perfecting our products, he usually enjoys reading books about software engineering and/or mathematics. He is also developing a world domination scheme that will eventually make him president of the world. Until then however he is very happy to be part of our team.

Comes from the world of moving pictures where he was not only responsible for the equipment but mostly for networks and computer systems as well most of all he’d like to save everything in databases and do away with paperafter discovering his love of virtual worlds he’s now discovered his love of virtual orchestras  computers and programs tremble as soon as he approaches and immediately start working properly again, because they’d otherwise be tweaked until they start doing what they should have done in the beginning

needs at least three monitors, two internet connections and one server at his work station

After completing a degree in audio engineering in 1998, our Swedish co-worker studied Business Administration before starting his own production company in 2000. After a few years, operations shifted more towards developing music software rather than using it, and continued after some further university studies in Software Engineering. Martin finally joined the Vienna software team in 2005.

When not submerged in the deep waters of C++, Martin enjoys spending a quiet and relaxing afternoon at the Thai Boxing gym, or simply idling in a comfortable sofa, noodling around on a guitar.

Florian Walter took over the development of MIR in summer, 2007 and is enthusiastically working on making a great idea into a great piece of software.

He was first confronted with the topic of convolution 5 years ago; since then, it has taken a firm hold on him. During his studies he already implemented different processes and also developed a room simulation system for wave field synthesis at the Fraunhofer Institute. Since 2004, he has been working for Müller-BBM, where takes care of the proper reverb in concert halls and opera houses with the room acoustics system Vivace.

“MIR is a step into a new league in every respect – concerning the sound possibilities as well as the technical challenges. I‘m very happy to be part of this development!”

George is developing the core technology and the engine upon which Vienna Symphonic Library software products are built.

He has his own web site at www.yohng.com.
