When the development of SWAYED started there was no ESP and Modx M and people didn’t have options, now it is no longer the case. My only issue with the ESP is that it consumes too much CPU for what it does, so we are still waiting for SWAYED.

How many of those can I get without owning the hardware?

Has nothing to do with Swayed but if you want the FM-X engine in plugin form you can get HALion7 right now or FM Lab with no hardware needed. As a Montage M owner who also has the plugin, I can tell you with 100% certainty that FM-X is far better in plugin form HALion7 than in the ESP

And even after owning those and I am pretty sure every other FM Synthesis Plugin on the market, I will still get Swayed the day it comes out

I mean, TG77 can be found pretty affordable these days (300-600 eurobucks or so) so technically you could've had it by now

Right now the last thing I want is hardware since I'm completely ITB. Back then, the TG 77 was no cheap either.

So what you ar saying is that you have been wanting a TG77 for 36 years and still have interest in one and a few months longer wouldn't matter at all

Someone has said multiple times now that any interest in Synths quickly fades, your first hand experience and feelings on the matter would seem to contradict that narrative thanks for sharing your experiences, hopefully now that this entire narrative has been laid bare we can stop thinking that way

If you're too impatient, you can always buy the hardware

OMG, Seafire Mk2 is/was Kriminal!?! That guy was a legend on kvr back in the old days! Never knew why he was banned. Seeing that name bring so many memories (not about him but the time period and when I was using Orion).

Ask the Mods why he was banned. They love having their decisions questioned (not). While you're at it ask them why his AN1X account was banned as well.

Anyway, over a month ago I wrote:

Imagine if someone had taken that sage advice. We wouldn't be having these rather pointless discussions now.

So I'll say it again, lock this thread. Then when everything is 100% ready to go, (full version, demo version, website, manual, payment system, etc) open a new thread and get a fresh start.

At least there will be something solid to discuss at that point.

Sheaf was right about the name! I was a fool for doubting him!

Dear sheaf,

i wanted to reread your last post from March 1st, but noticed that you deleted it silently. Would you mind giving any indication on the release date? Is March still something to hope for?

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Tue Mar 24, 2026 5:22 pm

We're getting close!

If the umlaut in your user name is any indication, you might be very close to EvilDragon.
