Babya Logic is a freeware music production suite allegedly created by a person called A.A. Fussy. The purported developer is an amusing entity on the internet, having a history of making frequent and outrageous claims for what are essentially rebadged source-code examples, and spamming forums with product releases and announcements. In addition, the use of the name 'Logic' for a sequencer may be a breach of a trademark for the sequencer package now distributed by Apple, and formerly developed by Emagic.

Despite the claims made in their press releases, Babya Logic is only compatible with Apple's professional sequencer of the same name at the level of import and export for MIDI files, and its features and capabilities are woefully short of any realistic expectation of 'professional'.

Most recently Babya Software have made the extraordinary claim that they had actually acquired Emagic, the original developers of Logic. In fact, Emagic is now a division of Apple, and this is yet another bogus claim on the part of Babya Software. It has been rumoured that an Apple software engineer commented that Apple would sue 'when they had stopped laughing', so it would appear that they do not consider the product a viable alternative to their own.

A cut-down version (music sequencer-only), bMix, is also available from Babya Software Group, however it should be noted that neither of these packages is particularly suitable for even basic audio production.

It is known that A.A. Fussy spends a singular amount of effort hyping Babya's products, and the 'company' has certainly produced a large number of software items in the past few years, but it is entirely unclear as to whether he is completely deluded as to the quality of these products and his press releases are the result of an exceptionally fevered imagination, or whether the entirety of Babya Software is an elaborate joke. However it is clear that A.A. Fussy intends to continue the promotion of his products, going so far as to hijack Wikipedia itself in the ongoing hype.

It has been suggested in many quarters that the A.A. Fussy entity is in fact a satirical creation by an unknown individual, the entire Babya line being a long running joke aimed at computer users, particularly those in the open source community. This can not yet be either verified, nor disproved. The debate will likely run on and on unless somebody does admit responsibility for the 'hoax', should that be the case.
