SWAY - a synth modeled after the Yamaha SY77

Seriously. Imagine using a modern cello sample library with the SY77's FM capabilities.

I have to admit, that would probably sound pretty cool. Will Sway be able to do that?

I own a TG77 and would pay good money if there was a way to equip it with different samples

Thanks!

Now I´ve got to check how this whole programming thing works and whether this works with Windows in a virtual machine on my mac.

I think it should work on a mac if I'm not mistaken with sy.factory.

That software should work, I´m a bit more wary of this: "To use the Waveblade you will need to install the USB Driver and TeraTerm Windows Application on your Windows PC.". I´ll probably just order this kit first before it´s sold out again and /then/ ponder how to get it to work.

Interesting, You are right. I've never noticed that the manuals state nothing about mac. A quick google search yielded a post on yamahamusicians though where the author of sy.factory states that it worked on both his mac on windows machines. But with mac's, you'll never know when Apple decides to disable a feature to brick old stuff.

Or the single cycle waveforms from the Prophet VS library

There are so many samples I have been wanting to drop in the SY77 for years, I can't wait for SWAY to be able to do that

Yes, it's something Sheaf is working on. His previously stated goal was to create a dedicated sample mapping application. I'm hoping he someday makes it compatible with other file types.

[Fette Töle]

Just noticed that sheaf changed Sway's name into Swayed.

Don't find this new name too inspiring, but hopefully this shows that the project is moving on

[phreaque]

He had to change it to avoid any conflicts with NI Sway

[EvilDragon]

It's also a hint to Dexed, a bit.

[phreaque]

Right Ed

SWAY77

Yeah looks like Swayed is the final call.
