Steinberg joins forces with Open Labs

Steinberg North America and Open Labs

“TAKE VST LIVE” CAMPAIGN

Buena Park, CA – January 19, 2012
Steinberg North America and Open Labs LLC are pleased to announce a live performance
solution that combines the power of the industry standard Steinberg VST Protocol (Virtual
Studio Technology) and Open Labs Music OS live performance software. Steinberg’s HALion
4 (VST Sampler and Sound Creation System), HALion Sonic (Premier VST Workstation) and
Yamaha Vintage Plug-in Collection are now easily accessible on any stage, leading the future of
VST development.

First launched by Steinberg in 1996, the VST Protocol creates a professional studio and
performance environment on any computer, allowing seamless integration of virtual effect
processors and instruments into the VST host application. All functions of a VST effect
processor or instrument are directly controllable and automatable, either with a mouse or with an
external hardware controller such as Steinberg’s CMC Series and CC121 USB Controllers. VST
also allows easy integration of external equipment, allowing you to put together a system tailor-made
to your needs.

Open Labs Music OS 3.0 or MOS is a music creation and live performance software designed
specifically to address the needs of both music creators and live performers. With over 7 years
of integrated touch screen experience, MOS was developed and optimized for touch screen use;
however, a touch screen is not required when installed on PC desktops and laptop
systems. Important to note, Open Labs will update Music OS to support the Mac platform in the
first half of 2012.

Head Out To NAMM

We are headed out from Austin to NAMM, one of the largest music shows in the world. It will be a little different this year, as this is the first year that Open Labs is showing and selling a software product; Music OS. The response from current customers and trial users has been very positive. However, this is our coming out party to the music industry.

The good news is that we have a great partner who has not only allowed us to team up with them at the show, but has also signed a meaningful relationship with Open Labs. We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with them on a going forward basis.

Additionally, we will be making another announcement at NAMM about Music OS. Specifically, we will be releasing Music OS 3.1 with a list of new features. One of the features demanded by our customer base was integration with SoundCloud. Open Labs Music OS is now featured in their Desktop App Gallery and we are excited about our relationship with SoundCloud.
