well it depends on how you count. where does the cloud end, and the sky begin? i guess we were a small group of about 4-5 developers, with myself doing the majority of the coding, and others doing supporting work, or working on other stuff.
i can tell you that coding was harder back then. the tools were not as good, and remember it was back in the days before multi-threading, and a crash meant the whole computer had to be restarted.

OK, this is starting to be an interesting thread. Mainly because the development of plug-ins is wrapped in clouds for most of us. So: how manny people actually worked on the original?

Hi all. thanks for the recognition and support. I made the original product design for Vibra9000 and Emil did the implementation + a million improvements. This time I have coded the smaller Vibra2000 and reused the original filter code developed by Emil.

Hi there, I coded most of the Studio9000 series, including the Vibra filters.
Studio9000 was build using our own visual dsp programming language called Tokyo, which was a bit similar in concept to the later MaxDSP. The Studio9000 was distributed by Moridaira in Japan.

LOL:) No one pushing here. By the way: I remember not being able to use the 9000 back then because of an issue with the Bitheadz Unity sampler. Which is still on my shelf, and used as much as I used it back then. Is it just me or are more people searching for “lo-fi” samples like the ones found in the Akai 1000/2000 or early E-Mu’s. Everything is “so real” these days… How about a samplepack that contains “The original crappy Akai piano samples you loves back then”….Or something:)

OK, so I know what you’re getting at… and yeah, you’re right!
