The
Beginning
Syntheway
was founded by Daniel Laiseca, initiated as a non-profit project
in August 2004. In September 2008, it became a for-profit
company renamed to "Syntheway Virtual Musical
Instruments".
Since
its beginning it has been focused on
development of pro audio plug-ins for Windows
based operating systems, offering Software Synthesizers and Samplers for computer-based music
production environments.
The name Syntheway is a portmanteau of the words synthesizer and way, as a path or method to create
music through their software.

History
Its
first product, launched in August 2004 was Realistic Virtual Piano

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

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

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

year was announced the release of Virtual Sitar software based on the Indian
