Comment: A list of product releases is not an encyclopedic article. Please stick only to coverage from secondary, independent sources. I'd also recommend break the History bit into multiple sections, maybe have a second section dedicated to the business and another section dedicated to the product history? (By this I mean more than just what they are, the unreferenced list in the current "Products" section is not encyclopedic as written, without sources or prose.)

Imaginando is a Portuguese company founded in 2014 by Nuno Santos that develops software for music production, sound design and performance as well as audio reactive visuals. The company’s headquarters is located in Braga, Portugal.
History edit
Imaginando was founded by Nuno Santos in Braga, Portugal (City of Media Arts of UNESCO), who is the company's current CEO and CTO. The company started as a business initiative with no venture funding.[1][2][3]
Nuno was a DJ and producer using tools like Traktor from Native Instruments and Ableton Live. With a degree in computer science and engineering by University of Minho, worked on his own iOS app for controlling Ableton Live, LIVKONTROL.
Following his experience developing control surfaces for Ableton Live with LIVKONTROL, Teenage Engineering commissioned him to work on an OP-1 control surface for Ableton Live.
As a solo entrepreneur, he looked for a solution for maintaining a single code base for multiple target devices, thus Qt Framework was adopted.[4]
In 2015 he joined forces with his long time friend Rui Antunes, an analog electronics expert and synthesizer repairer, to create Imaginando’s first synthesizer. Rui developed an analog modeled synthesizer in Pure Data, which served as a base for the development of DRC (Digital Resistor Capacitor) synthesizer.
During DRC development and stemming from a new media art open call from GNRation, they created a project called “Harpa Laser”. The project consisted in a 2 meter tall iron structure that incorporated 8 lasers in parallel and with a DRC engine running on a Raspberry Pi. This new media art installation debuted in the 2015 Noite Branca, in the streets of Braga.[5][6]
In 2017, Imaginando ventured on another open call by GNRation, this time turning a piece of antique furniture into a gigantic digital music box.[7]
Products edit
In 2014, Imaginando released TKFX, a Native Instruments Traktor Dj Controller.[8]
In 2015, Imaginando releases LK, an Ableton Live & MIDI Controller.[9]
In 2016, Imaginando released DRC, a polyphonic synthesizer.[10]
In 2018, Imaginando released DLYM, a chorus and flanger effect.[11]
In 2019, Imaginando released K7D, a tape delay audio effect.[12]
In 2020, Imaginando released FRMS, a granular synthesizer that combines granular, subtractive and FM synthesis.[13]
In 2021, Imaginando released VS, a visual synthesizer that can turn musical compositions into graphical effects (based on GLSL shaders, images and videos), in real time, by taking advantage of incoming audio and midi information.[14]
In 2023, Imaginando released BAM - Beat Maker & Music Maker, a groovebox style application that can also host plugins.[15][16]
