The company was founded in Vienna in October 2000 by Herbert Tucmandl. In the 1990s, Tucmandl, a former cellist, later cameraman, director and composer used some of the available first-generation sample libraries for the creation of his own film scores. He was unsatisfied with the sonic results of those products, so Tucmandl began to develop a concept for a more realistic sounding orchestral sample library. He realized that note transitions (e.g., legato) and multiple note repetitions were also needed to enhance playability.
