I'd buy Propellerheads, Softube, Clavia and combine it into something that can take on NI. It would be glorious

Not quite on the topic, but... I think I would work on a successor to MIDI. It's really beyond me that nothing ever succeeded it. I mean, I do understand the reasons, but, MIDI is really so yester-yester-year. I think it wouldn't be rocket science to develop something better, with better resolution, out of the box API to display parameters on a device's display, out of the box parameter learn system etc.

A billion is still a million of millions (ecept in USA). That's why, internationally, anything about finance uses "thousands of millions" or "millions of millions", and nobody talks about "billions", to avoid confusion.

Yeah it's strange Clavia and the Props have never (?) worked together. We've got to ask Ernst!

I for one think it is amazing we in the music tech world has one of the oldest standards around. To stay on topic

you could take over the MMA and extend the MIDI protocol. Just don't touch the DIN connectors!

Apparently, I learned just yesterday, in Brittain a billion also is a thousand millions. Since 1974!

I'd buy Aly James Lab and hire someone to work full time on x64 versions of his plugins so they can be released before x128 is the norm

Who wants to deal with a bunch of cheapskate whiny ass bitch entitled mofo too busy complaining online to make music plugin customers?

Fixed that for you.

The Clavia Nord Modular would indeed be a great piece of IP to resuscitate. I've actually thought of making an offer to buy the VAZ Modular code from MadGav...though I have 0 Windows desktop app programming skills.

well, i just learnt that now.
when i was at school, we were taught a million times a million is a billion.
given i wasn't born till 1974, im guessing no one told my maths teachers

Crysonic ...............obviously !!!!

A billion is a thousand million in the UK usage for some time.
Ach, I was beaten to the punch.

SparkySpark · Post by **SparkySpark** » Sun Nov 04, 2018 12:16 am

Why Crysonic?

For newcomers to this thread, the idea is to think of music software companies that could be bought to be improved in some way.

For example, I would buy Rayzoon to make a DAW friendly version of Jamstixx and then make deals with every major DAW developer (like Celemony does with pitch correction).

I would also buy TDR to get hold of the awesome devs.

But I wouldn't buy Melda since Voytech has the perfect setup already, so I couldn't improve on his business.

I think I could just about handle owning a hot dog cart, maybe a franchise of two or three.

So you dont think Crysinic could be improved in some way?

I didnt realise this was a serious thread and you all intend to carry out your takover plans

What music software company would you buy?
