SWAY - a synth modeled after the Yamaha SY77

[sheaf]

Yeah, that's a good suggestion. Clicking around on the operators to tweak envelopes is a bit cumbersome. I'll add an envelope overview screen once I wrap up work on the AWM module.

Wow that's one of my favorite synths.

So is the VST3 Mac version being worked on or is there already VST3 Mac version ?

Both Windows and Mac versions are still in development.

But yeah for sure it should be pretty easy to add an option to replace the filter with Simper's cheap TPT SVF, which should serve much the same purpose just sound way better

My filters are not "TPT", they are MNA (Modified Nodal Analysis) based with some state space thrown in. These methods have been around for a very long time, and do not require new names to confuse people.

Apologies!

[andy-cytomic]

Apologies!

No worries!

"Numerical Methods for Solving Systems of Nonlinear Equations" is the general term for this stuff, and it's really odd in my view that terms like ZDF / TPT etc were recently created to describe long standing mathematics in more confusing ways. The Newton-Raphson method and trapezoidal integration (which is what I and most other devs mainly use) has been around since the 1600s, I shit you not.

[EvilDragon]

People love buzzwords, I suppose. NR method and trapezoidal integration aren't exactly very marketable terms.

(But for some reason, ADAA is.)

This sounds cool. Great work so far. Ignore the bizarre and neurotic tangent about what constitutes an "emulation". No one normal thinks like that or cares, as long as you add the disclaimer that it doesn't contain the original ROM sounds you're good.

I wonder if you could "play" the samples through the keyboard with everything set as transparently as possible, and resample them this way instead of directly using the original ROM?

Interested to see how your emulation develops.

what is the zero Hz ratio ?
you can't do it with other FM synth like Dexed or FM8 ?

You can do it with DUNE3 via Osc3 sample import.

Thanks Mark, we can do so much with Dune3

Surely to make it period accurate, that should be I shit thee nay?

I like how in Arturia's DX7 they show all the envelopes overlapping each other in the diffent colors. It would be nice if your synth could have a similar view like that.

Well shouldn't LOL be more like And verily I thus engaged in Raphsurous (pun) laughter in a manner audible to all adjacent! ?

For full disclosure: circuits weren't actually invented until a while afterwards, and Kirchhoff's circuit laws were created in 1845, which is what MNA and the fundamentals of most all circuit analysis is based upon, so really it's only 180 years of so old.

[SuitcaseOfLizards]

Will keep an eye on this, certainly interested.

[mi-os]

I just hope this won't get c/r 'protection' but a simple serial number. It would be a shame to have to ignore this plugin.

[Meta4kly2008]

You could likely dig into old soundfonts (back in the pre-vstis day!) that are circulating out there still for the AWM 'sound-alikes' without worrying about legalities. No one was ever punished for a soundfont .sf2 file, that I can recall? I have an extensive collection stored on CD's somewhere round here. Old ones that would be 'closer to the day' of the SY77. Some clever EQ and Transient matching software could get you reeeaaal close 'without going over' (into legal territory) and then be part of your base build?


Get back to me if interested.
