Gibson was a death knell for Opcode Studio Vision. That was a great sequencer. I ran it on my Mac plus and my Roland U220 keyboard.

In 1998, Opcode was bought by Gibson Guitar Corporation. Development on Opcode products ceased in 1999.[1]
Some of Opcode’s ex-employees went on to be part of Apple’s Mac OS X Core Audio and MIDI software development.
