Creamware Audio GmbH was a manufacturer of DSP based sound cards and synthesizers, founded in 1992.  The cards were used to create synthesized sounds for audio production in music and other audio environments.  Creamware also developed several digital audio software/hardware combination systems that became very popular with radio broadcasters throughout the late 1990's.  These systems included 'TripleDAT' and a scaled down version called 'CutMaster'.  Both versions were widely used by German commercial radio as well as government owned state controlled radio in China.

The software made by Creamware was acclaimed for its time and the hardware Creamware created was among the first linearly scalable DSP systems, with expansion DSP boards being offered to increase the processing power of the platform.  As a real time DSP platform, there was no processing (waiting) time for changes to take effect.

In August 1998 John Bowen joined Creamware to develop the Modular system used in Scope as well as working on other synth design projects.  He also helped complete Scope versions (emulations) of the Pro One and Prophet 5.  In November 1999 he developed and released a bundle of four synthesizers for the Scope platform and by June 2000 under his own company Zarg.

In 2007 Creamware became insolvent and the Scope technology was bought out by two companies.  One was the India based InDSP Audio Technologies Pty Ltd lead by Frank Hund (CreamWare founder).  This was mainly the team Frank set up in India after the first CreamWare insolvency in 2003.  They achieved most of the work which brought the ASB line to the market and designed the Plugiator made and sold by Use Audio. 

The other one was the German based Sonic Core lead by Holger Drenkelfort and Juergen Kindermann who were working on John Bowen's Solaris at that time.  They went on producing ASB for a while but focused on the XITE-1 and XITE-1D afterwards.   In 2010 Juergen Kindermann left Sonic Core to founder Ferrofish and focus on hardware like his A16 Mk II and also has the right to use Scope Technology.  His last product, the B4000+ is the first of an ASB II line of products. 

At the 2007 Musikmesse show John Bowen showed a prototype of a new original Bowen designed keyboard synthesizer named Solaris, to be manufactured in cooperation with Sonic Core.

Since 2007, the Solaris has been fully released and Sonic Core released Scope 5, Modular IV and Scope 5.1 opening compatibility with 64 bit operating systems and the new XITE-1 hardware platform.
