WebAssembly Music instrument plugin NFTs - Using WebAssembly binaries stored in blockchain NFTs as synth plugins for Digital Audio Workstation software

Abstract

This presentation will demonstrate using WebAssembly for audio plugins outside the web browser. Specifically, the showcase is a WebAssembly binary used as a synthesizer plugin in a commercial, desktop based Digital Audio Workstation software such as Garage Band or Logic. In addition there will be a proposal and demonstration of a commercial model for distributing and controlling access and ownership to these WebAssembly audio plugins, by storing them on the NEAR blockchain and binding them to Non-Fungible-Tokens ( NFTs ).
