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?
Huh? I didn't delete any posts. What post was that?

My plan is to release it next week, but I'm waiting for something to be approved. I probably should've initiated that process sooner, but hopefully it'll happen this week. Meanwhile I can use the weekend to finish my launch video for social media.

thank you, muchas gracias, vielen dank, merci beaucoup.

will be looking forward to a new thread when you're ready to launch.
all the best.
As you can see, sonidomolino quoted your post from March 1st, but obviously your post does no longer exists.

Anyways, thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward and hope to play Swayed during my Easter holdays.

Yeah, I see it! When I check my own post history it seems several posts are missing? I swear I didn't delete anything. What's going on here?

Moderators got involved when things got too OT. I’m surprised they deleted Sheaf’s posts but some of the others definitely needed it.

Genuinely looking forward to this.

Sway doesn't support Linux, and I just bought Zebra 3. So, I'm out. I had considered using Sway with WINE, but I think I've made the better choice. I do wish you all the best though. :)

No. Check back in two weeks.

It's a pretty rough global economic climate to be releasing a new synth in but I wish you good luck.

Has there ever been a price point mentioned?

No price point has been mentioned but I venture to guess that those of us who have been waiting over 30 years for this thing will pay just about anything.

If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in the $199 to $299 range given synths like Falcon, Zehra 3 and Omnisphere.

I would be shocked if it was under $100 or over $300.

We'll see.

I don't think this synth is in the same class of instruments as Falcon, Z3 and Omnisphere, though. It is its own thing, highly specific. I'd be surprised if it were above 149 - but this is entirely Sheaf's call.
