Stryde Audio releases Swayed FM & PCM Synth Plugin (VST3 & AU)

Stryde Audio has released Swayed, a new synth modeled after a famous 1989 synthesizer that combined FM synthesis with sample based synthesis. This combination allows for the creation of some unique timbres—from realistic to synthetic, and everything in between.

Patch compatibility means you can access the vast library of sounds made for the original hardware (Yamaha SY77/TG77), in the form of SysEx files that can be imported. Patches made with Swayed can also be loaded into the original hardware by exporting them as SysEx files.

Features:

• FM Synthesis: Advanced FM synthesis module featuring 6 operators, 15 waveforms, up to 3 configurable feedback paths, and 45 algorithms.
• PCM Synthesis: Waveform module that can play back multi-samples.
• Digital Filter: FM and PCM elements can be shaped using a dual-resonant filter setup: one LPF/HPF and one LPF, both with 12 dB/octave slopes.
• Modulation: Individual operator and sample volumes can be automated using envelopes. The same applies to pitch and filter cutoff. Additional modulation is available via 2 LFOs.
• Effects: Choose from 44 effect types to give your sounds extra character. Including chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, and distortion. Effects can be routed in 3 different configurations.
• Dynamic Pan: Select from 64 panning envelopes to create a rich, evolving stereoscopic sound field.

Pricing & Availability

Swayed is available for macOS and Windows in VST3 and AU plugin formats for €99 / $99.
