Had no idea it was bought by Yamaha.

Still they're a separate legal entity and their HQ, development, support, etc. are still located in Hamburg like they used to be since the early-mid 1980s when they released their MIDI sequencing software for Atari ST (Steinberg Twenty 4 I believe it was called?). I guess you could do worse than being bought by Yamaha, but I think this decision isn't related to it.
