What is Mystery Islands Music?

Mystery Islands Music is a small software development company located in Finland. Company founder Jani Kervinen found his inspiration to create AudioUnit / VST plug-ins after 20 years of making music. Here is a long story cut short:

Our plug-ins are not regular VSTi plug-ins. We build plug-ins which are able to integrate Hardware Synthesizers right in to users DAW of choice. I have always been a fan of real Synthesizers, digital or analog due to their character of sound. When VSTi’s came along in music industry, I was hoping someone would bring VST Editors for the real synthesizers, since they started to collect dust, while VSTi’s were taking over.

One year passed, two years passed, five years passed, ten years passed and nothing. I asked from other development companies to build such products, but the interest was zero. It was time to take the leap of faith and start studying C++, how the AudioUnit and VST framework functions and here we are now.

By the end of 2019, we are shipping 11 awesome plug-ins for all Access Virus models, Roland JP-8000 / JP-8080, Korg MS2000(B)(R), Korg microKorg, Clavia Nord Lead & Rack1 / 2 / 2X, Waldorf Blofeld, Waldorf microQ, Waldorf Pulse(+), Waldorf Q series and Novation Supernova(1st generation) to Novation Supernova II.

We are not going to stop, in fact, we are looking forward to bring new options and features for our products. Currently, I’m working alone, so plug-in updates and support takes some time. Hopefully we will get to change that soon!
