NAMM show is the world’s most important and largest trade show for guitar. Mar 18, 2017 bought omnisphere about 3 weeks ago. But where is the forum? Spectrasonics has links to non-official forums and they are all broken. So where is the main online community/communities?
Has it been another year? Sheesh! You may or may not know, but 2019 was ILIO's 25th year as a company. This coming NAMM show will be our 26th show! Looking back, we realized just what a ride it's been. We started off in the basement of Hall E while aftershocks from the 1994 Northridge earthquake shook the building. As ILIO grew over the years, eventually we settled where we are now—Hall A, booth #11910. Find a map HERE.
Here's a throwback to our very first NAMM show in 1994:

Fast-forwarding to 2020, ILIO now represents ten different developers and hundreds of products — from virtual instruments to audio fx and even hardware. Our booth is bigger than ever, welcoming visitors to experience everything we have to offer. We're extremely proud of all of the ground-breaking products that our producers continue to develop and we're looking forward to helping their growth in 2020 and beyond.
