Stephane Cnockaert sent a message to Takuya Nakata President and Representative Director, Yamaha Corporation Email Address that said:
Mr. Takuya Nakata, so strong remains the Steinberg ASIO VST VSTi environment, acquired by Yamaha in 2005 ! Amazing ! Time has come for developing a proprietary cloud-based graphical audio DSP compiler for the Steinberg ASIO VST VSTi environment, marketed and supported by the Yamaha brand. The aim is to open a grand door for Yamaha inside MS Windows machines, inside Google Android machines, inside Linux machines, and inside a lot of embedded machines (eventually running bare metal). Be smart. Seduce audio enthusiasts. Manage prominent audio enthusiasts to ask for this, now there is Flowstone, SigmaStudio, AudioWeaver, Symphony, Audio Weaver, Audio System Design Tool for Teensy Audio Library, and Fibula. Kind of cacophony. Digital Audio deserves a kind of standardization. Capitalize on the Steinberg ASIO reputation. Get all modern machines to process digital audio through ASIO. Get all modern machines to process digital audio using VST and VSTi. Get all modern soundcards to grab sound and to output sound through ASIO. Then, two years later, unveil the technology that is going to supersede the Steinberg ASIO VST VSTi. Accompany it with the same kind of graphical audio DSP compiler. Success guaranteed for another 20 years. Yamaha will remain indispensable. What time frame, and how much money shall be allocated for converting Fibula into a Yamaha-branded multiplatform audio software environment, featuring a Yamaha-branded cloud-based audio DSP graphical compiler ? Say $2.4 million and 24 months. I have got a few email exchanges with Mr. Laurent Fusilier from JMF Technologies (France). He knows the particular status about Fibula. The Fibula developer, Mr. Dr Jean-Marie Ory, died two years ago. There are legal heirs. Say the heirs approve Fibula being further developed by a team financed up to $2.4 million by Yamaha. I have not talked about royalties yet. One cent on each of the forthcoming 1 billion audio channels makes $10 million. A 5.1 system is 9 channels instead of 6 channels because of the stereo line-in. By contract, $10 million would be the max income for Dr. Jean-Marie Ory heirs, in case they legally and exclusively own Fibula source code and documentation, in some exploitable form. The gross revenue for Yamaha shall amount to 10 cents per audio channel, meaning that the Yamaha 5.1 audio environment to be downloaded on Google Play, shall be charged say $1.99 (times one billion). There shall be a supplementary gross revenue for Yamaha, as soon as the cloud-based compiler generates encrypted executable files, optimally protecting the authors framework and IP. Awaiting kind of feedback from you. Have a nice day.
