Thanks to Brandon for this tip via Facebook...Avid, manufacturer of high end video editing software and hardware and parent company to Digidesign (makers of ProTools) and M-Audio (makers of low-cost MIDI controllers), has decided to dissolve those brands and incorporate them all under the Avid moniker. There's just a small blurb on their web page at the moment, so not much info on what prompted the move is available. One can speculate, though, that the shaky economy combined with increased competition from companies like Apple (creators of Final Cut and Logic) and a newly flooded market for controllers may be putting the squeeze on, thus making a move like this a bit more sensible.
