Software History

Its first product, launched in August 2004 was Realistic Virtual Piano v0.90 Pre-Alpha released, a sample based Acoustic Piano. A few months later was introduced the first version of DAL Flute, a woodwind instrument combining multi-samples of real flutes with a Digital Signal Processing engine. Subsequently, at the end of 2004 was presented the first beta release of Fantasize SF2 Player, a SoundFont sampler.

In early 2005, was started the development of a much-requested "virtual choir", and immediately after came the Magnus Choir v0.92 Alpha released, which caught the attention of computer musicians and was widely accepted as a powerful generator of choral sounds. Magnus Choir was the first experience of Syntheway in combining synthesis with sampling and today is one of the most popular Virtual Choir on the Internet, which has been reviewed and hailed by prestigious specialized magazines.

Since mid-2005 they followed: Syntheway Strings a multisampled ensemble including Violin, Viola, Cello & Double Bass, Master Hammond B3 based on the legendary B3 Organ, and Zephyrus a hybrid synthesizer with analog synthesis and sf2 oscillator.

In the springtime 2006 was sampled Organux, designed to create a wide range of classic and modern organ sounds, featuring 20 predefined types of organs.

In August 2007 Syntheway presents ElectriKeys e-Piano based on vintage Fender Rhodes MK1™, Hohner Clavinet D6™, Wurlitzer™ and Yamaha™ CP-70 e-pianos.

In early 2008 was released Percussion Kit, a collection of instruments for creating Orchestral, Latin, African and Mallet Percussion, including Vibraphone, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Marimba and Tubular Bells.

After several months of careful preparation, in July 2009 was launched RetroMagix, a virtual Harpsichord based on the Flemish models and designed for creating a wide range of sounds, suitable for classical and neoclassical styles. In October of the same year was announced the release of Virtual Sitar software based on the Indian instrument, featuring mastered sitar samples recorded with special equipment.

In April 2010 was introduced Aeternus Brass featuring solo Trumpet, Cornet, Trombone, Tuba, French Horn, Flugelhorn as well as Brass Sections and Orchestral Ensemble.

The penultimate release was Harmodion a Drawbar organ and free reed aerophone instrument emulation, including Reed organ, Harmonium, Accordion and Bandoneon among others.

The most recent software is Cordophonet a Virtual Celtic and Concert Harps including Hammered Dulcimer, launched in 2013.
