Foundation

Despite the (german) April Fool's Day, the company GEERDES midisystems is founded on 1 April 1985 in Berlin and specialises in its early years in software development for the Commodore C64 and the Atari computer.

As a pioneering company, GEERDES develops the first software editors for synthesizers, including the world's first editor for the S-900 sampler from AKAI.
