'''Opcode Systems, Inc.''' was founded in 1985 by Dave Oppenheim and based in and around [[Palo Alto, California]], USA.  Opcode produced [[MIDI]] sequencing software for the [[classic Mac OS]] and [[Microsoft Windows]], which would later include [[digital audio]] capabilities, as well as audio and MIDI hardware interfaces.  Opcode's MIDIMAC [[music sequencer|sequencer]], launched in 1986, was one of the first commercially available MIDI sequencers for the Macintosh.
