Line 6 mystery product speculation

Line 6 (now Yamaha Guitar Group) has created multiple connectivity protocols:
  • FBV (1995)—DC downstream, bidirectional data over CAT-5
  • VDI (2002, 7 years later)—2 channels of audio upstream, DC downstream, bidirectional data over CAT-5
  • L6 LINK (2010, 8 years later)—8 channels of audio downstream, bidirectional data over AES/EBU (110-ohm XLR)
  • Maybe one or two others that were scrapped and never made it into any products
Now 14 years after L6 LINK, it may simply be time to try (with an emphasis on try) something new.
The world is still waiting on something sensible.

Lynx/behringer/midas/KT whatever dropped the ball so incredibly hard on what AES 50 could have been. Now we have AVB and worse, DANTE handling everything in a silly and/or proprietary way. Given how huge yamaha's church console presence is, they could certainly do it right

Oh jeez, even the most ambitious, unrealistic plans for Nexus aren't anywhere close to something as powerful (or expensive to implement/license) as AES50 or Dante.
