SWAY - a synth modeled after the Yamaha SY77

[Artie Fichelle]

A name or a brand should easy to memorize,although there are others who disprove this like hagen dazz or so.

[Artie Fichelle]

But I hope I can soon get hands on it to make sounds, not even yamaha has made or others with it. I am specifically talking about binaural sounds.

Apropos making sounds, I just remembered that the SY77 had the feature of user defined algorithm for the AFM via MIDI SysEx.
Back in the days AFAIK only Emagic's SoundDiver supported that feature.

So I wonder if that made it's way into Sway?

[EvilDragon]

Yes it did.

Some braindumps:

SYops
SYpher (maybe too close to the "Cipher" plugin)
SYren
SYlo / SYlon
SYft
SYzygy
SYntax
SYngularity
SYplus / SY+
SoftY
LegaSY
FantaSY
NoSY / NoiSY
pSYche
Elements (hmm, close to the Waves one)
AWMulation / RCMulation
SZ77 (after the "X' series, they went "Y" for the SY, so maybe this can go to "Z")
PG77 (after the module)

Sway is fine.

Is for Roland synth

BTW SwayFM could be a name of a radio station.

It couldn't be a radio station in the United States. All radio station call signs in the eastern half of the country begin with the letter "W". All the western stations begin with a "K". I would expect the rules to be different in other countries though.

If this were an SY99 emulation, you could call it "99-FM", as if it were an FM radio station operating at a frequency of 99.1 MHz.

I think you're overthinking this just a bit. A radio station with the call letters "KSWY" or "WSWA" could call itself "Sway FM" (and probably would).
Try it for yourself:
"Sway FM: The Best Easy-Listening Hits of the '70s, '80s, '90s, and today!". Or how about "Sway 99.1: Napa Valley's Smooth Jazz Favorites".

I mean, sure, none of us would admit to listening to either of them. But I bet there's a "SWAY FM" somewhere in this country.

There is at least 1 exception; KDKA is in Pittsburgh. But Sway FM might not be a bad name for this plugin.

Call it F-MTV and I’ll get Richard Blade and The Swedish Egil to endorse it.

Oh yeah, I forgot about KDKA. And yes, I also think "Sway FM" would be a good name.

Now, THAT'S an interesting idea!

I want my...
