I wish you great success and an overwhelmingly positive response, once released. :phones:
While in the grocery checkout line, the guy behind me was energetically discussing name brand music-studio things, via airpods, so when there was a break, I asked him if he ever visits kvraudio.com, and he replied, 'No, what's that?' I explained some pros and cons, and he said he'd check it out. He's around 30 years old, and apparently has survived 'without us' as he learned his craft :(

I also hope great success for this Swayed project. Been playing my mini K1 today, getting back to synth roots a little, in anticipation :hyper:
That's the story for LOTS of music artists I've seen, even online. We here at kvraudio are niche microcosm on a beach, connected to the ocean of music makers.

But yeah. There was a music production youtuber that just released a video on the TG77 in the past few days. I saw 0 discussion of SWAYED in the comments, even some lamenting there wasn't an TG/SY 77 plugin around. So clearly it isn't well known yet.. yet!

We currently have insider knowledge before the IPO drops! :hihi:

Post

We talk about Swayed a lot on The Usual Suspects discord.

That's an even nichier niche! But it makes sense to me considering the emulation aspect..

Read his post. He has chosen a new name, it's not up for debate.
For fun and enjoyment.
Only it's not fun or enjoyable, it's a pointless exercise that is disrespectful to the developer

The name has been chosen, no one is asking for anyone's suggestions or opinions on the name

To piss all over Sheaf and the plugin isn't enjoyable or fun
No one is "pissing all over Sheaf and the plugin" with a discussion on the name.

If you don't find this discussion fun or enjoyable, I suggest you find another thread. Or put us on ignore. We already know the name is set. We can still discuss what we please, without your dictatorship controlling us.

If anything, we're helping by keeping this thread at the top of the stack, which brings more viewers to it. If we didn't find Sheaf's work interesting, we wouldn't even be here. Most (all?) of us are excited for the eventual release!! :clap:
Sorry, when people are saying the name sucks, the name of unprofessional, the name will hurt sales etc that absolutely is pissing all over it

And it's all pointless because the name has already been chosen and is set in stone

Keeping the thread at top of the stack by pissing all over it isn't helping ike at all, it's just being a total jerk, trying to justify it makes it worse

Yes, with a shark-fin-shaped audio curve as a logo :)
The name isn't in consideration but I think that's cute and memorable!
Thank you! That logo looks totally awesome. 👍👍

If we didn't care, we wouldn't be speaking out making suggestions. As already mentioned, the critique wasn't intended to tear down but to build up. We want success for Sheaf!

If you don't understand that then there is no helping you. You just clearly want to be upset and bully people out of talking about things you don't want to see. No one else is using the term 'pissing on' but you. That's all in your head. And each time you respond back are filling the thread with more off topic arguments over it, by perpetuating the discussion you claim you don't want to see. :dog:

Duly noted. And you are dragging this out longer than it needs to be. If you want more discussion on the synth itself, I'd recommend you stop whining about what other people are posting and start posting more about the synth.

Who are you helping and who are you making suggestions to? That's the issue

The name has already been chosen. Sheaf didn't ask for suggestions or for your help in building up his plugin, and he isn't changing it

Since the name has already been chosen and isn't up for debate you are not making any suggestions, you are just pissing all over it

It's like if a friend of yours had a baby and named it John, and then you decided to say, you know the name John sucks, it's going to hurt him in life, it's a dog crap name, that name is unprofessional and will result in him being a failure in life, and then when called on it, you played the victim and said you were just offering suggestions and trying to help

You wouldn't be offering suggestions or helping you would just be an arse hole and a bully because they already gave the kid a name and didn't ask you

Also duly noted. And on and on you go about the things you don't want to see.. It's ironical.

Thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Having said that, if they want to discuss the name and piss all over it, or whatever, it's a free country and they're free to do so, just as you're free to call them out on it.

Isn't democracy a wonderful thing?

For anyone who hasn't heard a real SY 77 in a long time, you have to listen to this. Everyone else can just pass on by.



Wow, if the Swayed sounds anything like this, I am going to be in heaven.

Post

Filters in Swayed don't sound identical to SY77 but they are in the ballpark.

Also note that external effects have been used in that demo, I think.

Post

Nope, one reply of the video creator says it's internal effects only.
