offering onboard sampling from an integrated CD-ROM, audio sequencer tracks, and flash ROM. In addition to Genesys, the company offered an entry-level version named GK series and a simplified WK version named WK-1000/2000. Generalmusic also produced digital pianos, the Promega series, which attracted more interest than their synthesizer products. In February 2009 Generalmusic dismissed all employees and immediately filed for bankruptcy, which was declared in 2011. In December 2014 the Finnish group Soundion Oy Ltd (new owner of GEM, LEM and Elka) announced that, in 2015, Generalmusic will bring to market a product lineup composed of re-issued as well as brand new technology models. The new production is planned to be set up in Finland. As of July 2015, there were plans to launch a reissue of the classic Elka Synthex synthesizer, and a crowdfounding campaign was set on Indiegogo. Unfortunately it failed to reach the expected funding and the Synthex project seems to have been cancelled. As of 2021, Generalmusic (Finland) is producing a range of digital pianos branded Gem Promega 2+ using "UpDRAKE" technology which appears to be a further development of the original Generalmusic DRAKE technology for digital organs (US Patent 5,442,128) References External links Official site Download resources Audio equipment manufacturers of Italy Musical instrument manufacturing companies of Italy Loudspeaker manufacturers Synthesizer manufacturing companies of Italy
