Ohm Force is a privately owned company in Paris, France. Since 2000 it constructed a solid audio plug-in portfolio, comprising delay, filters, frequency shifter, phaser, distortions and synthesizers. During these years the company has been able to establish a rock solid reputation as a maker of creative tools, earning some of the most important music production magazine's awards for each release. In addition of dozens of top producers and artists around the world, we're proud to have a massive user base made of talented musicians that just want the right tools to shape their sounds *exactly* the way they're inspired to.

Audio plug-ins and technology licensing

Ohm Force's main goal is to deliver - at affordable rates - top class stinky audio software for musicians and producers. In addition, you can also count on us to integrate Ohm Force's DSP algorithms to your software application. We do offer technology licensing and custom development to clients in Music, TV & Radio, Film and Audio Software. Feel free to contact us on contact@ohmforce.com explaining what are your needs, we'll be ready to help.

Ohm Force origins

Ohm Force was founded in 2000 because we felt the world lacked a good fast-food company. The idea was simple: make good sandwiches - good looking and tasty - then sell them on the Internet. We even used to have a sandwich store sign over our office's front door (see picture).

That how everything began. Being French, we know what food is all about. So we were confident in our unstoppable success. But after the first few R&D months, internal dissension was going wild. Some of us were pushing for a pasta and tomato mushroom burger, while others were looking into turning kittens into subs. The latter idea quickly appeared to be impractical because of the lack of available raw materials, and the only kittens we've caught have been quickly adopted by the OhmMen. The aftermaths spelled D.O.O.M in wild crimson letters scorching the sky. Yet, did we quit Nope.

As we have been all working on our resumés to apply to a well known fast-food chain (MacCatBurger, anyone?), we've noticed that many of us used to have an experience in software design and some others had even designed application GUIs. Heck! So why not make audio plugins ? While keeping the same gastronomic way of think we then started developing the OhmBoyz. Which has been the very first of a long series.

Ohm Force mindset

Not only Ohm Force has given its contribution to the music scene with our freeware Frohmage filter, since 2002 we introduced the free Standalone versions of our plug-ins, in addition of the traditional time-limited demo versions. The standalone versions are supposed to be cool toys and a nice way to test in-depth each plug-in's features. No need to say we're completely in the ?tForce's plug-ins are:

• Creativity. This is software, not hardware. Computers are powerful and cheap. The user interface of a computer it's not supposed look as a hardware rack. We can do in software insanely complex stuff, that can't be done in hardware. Hence we do.
• Ease of use. Not every musician is a PhD in Computer Science. We want our customers to understand how our plugins work and quickly have fun (then be productive).
• Eye candy. Do you like good looking software ? So do we. In a mix of great artwork and comfortable controls, Ohm Force products are designed to be used in tough situations (do you play live ? you know what we mean).
• Customer support. We, Ohm Men, are also clients and buy stuff online. So we have an idea of what customer service should be like and do our best to reach this ideal.
• Sound quality. All the above mentioned aspects would be useless to you without a really good audio processing. Eversituation.

Thanks

Very special thanks go to Eric Gougaud, for his help and vision at the start of the project. He helped us do the Right Thing (tm) and actually release our first product (nearly) on time.
Special thanks also for our former team member Vincent Frison (Orange Force). When the clock shows 3PM, some of us are still looking at the door for him to show up, like he usually did.
Big thanks to our interns Tiam, France Cestari and Laurent Rabesahala.
Big cheers to Ian Finney aka Gold Force for all the help/support, which goes far beyond his acting talents.
Also finally, thanks in a chaotic order for Julien Boeuf, Hélène Zanni, Frédérique Boeuf, Clifton Cameron, Dominic Reamonn, Aurélie Ribeiro, Brandon Tallent, Christian Puffer, Donny Yeh and Chris Ormsby.
