Latest news (October 3th, 2004)

As from November 1, 2004 Marcel Konstapel is no longer participating in Transparent Sound. Jan de Groot will continue to run Transparent Sound as a one man company. Because Marcel was responsible for embedded software design, this part of Transparent Sound will for the moment no longer exist. However, analogue and digital hardware design, which was and is the responsibility of Jan, will continue.
