Seems like it would be a big market for them.

Wouldn't say no to a software AN1X.

I think they have Steinberg to do this for them.

Yea Steinberg is Yamaha's Software branch. Yamaha's name is actually on some of the products. Like the Vintage Channel Strip VCM Plugins.

Instrumentwise they made the S-YXG50

They also made some other (non-instrument) plugins but that was quite a long time ago.

Maybe they didnt think the VST plugin market is for them.

Interesting, which of Steinberg's products are partnered with Yamaha?

I love old Yamaha romplers, a top model MU series type virtual instrument would be cool imo.

There's a few on iOS: TNR-i (and TNR-e), FM Essential and the AN2015 synth inside Synth Book.

Maybe they prefer mobile apps to desktop (like Moog).

These come to mind: https://www.steinberg.net/de/products/v ... start.html

And, yeah, seems like the logical thing that Steinberg would develop Yamaha stuff. Not sure how high it is on their agenda, though.

Vocaloid is a Yamaha brand.

Because:

Since January 2005, Steinberg is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation, the world's leading manufacturer of audio hardware.

Which seems to be the only thing they're focusing on.

How did Yamaha go from defining a decade (the '80s) to vocaloid? How the mighty have fallen.

Hello! They own Steinberg. If this is 'fallen'............

Why doesn’t Yamaha develop virtual instruments?
