- Sonoma Wire Works purchases entire Submersible Music product line, including
award-winning DrumCore and KitCore, featuring grooves and instrument sounds by
famous drummers -

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonoma Wire Works, makers of
RiffWorks recording software and the FourTrack and InstantDrummer iPhone Apps,
has acquired the entire Submersible Music product line, including the
award-winning DrumCore and KitCore software and drum content. Submersible was
created by Paul Allen, the philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder, to help
him in his own songwriting. The company's products realized his goal of a
great-sounding, accessible drum tool that allows guitarists like him to be
backed by some of the most famous rock drummers.

"Sonoma Wire Works was the unanimous choice of our review team," said Chris
Purcell of Submersible. "We particularly appreciated their sincere and
enthusiastic presentation here in Seattle. Part of our quest was to find a
good home for DrumCore, where it could move up to the next level of technology
and market presence. Sonoma Wire Works really resonated with us."

Sonoma Wire Works founder Doug Wright said the purchase will be good for
existing customers of Submersible and Sonoma Wire Works. "We think Submersible
customers will love our plans for integrating Sonoma technologies into future
DrumCore versions," he said. "We know that our RiffWorks and InstantDrummer
community will love the premium grooves offered by this huge variety of pro
drummers."

DrumCore gives songwriters and composers access to grooves and instrument
sounds of over a dozen famous drummers and percussionists. It includes a
groove library of both audio loops and MIDI files plus a VST/AU/RTAS software
