Comments (as published by SSU on the Greytsounds website):

Why would someone do an SY77 Impressions bank on the Wavestation? If you're wondering, these aren't just any SY77 sounds. These are faithful recreations of some of our critically acclaimed original sounds for the SY77, and we think that you'll find these patches to be an excercise in tasteful sound design that transcends any single keyboard. These evocative textures are well suited to production overlay for any genre of music requiring lush pads, subtle atmospheric nuance, and delicate, expressive leads.
Sounds include "The Mysterians", "Brass Chorale", "Millenium", "Ice Piano", "New SteelGuitar" and many more.

Comments (as published by SSU in their 1992-93 catalogue):

We have emulated in exact detail our critically acclaimed SY77 library and created this special collection for Wavestation users. We have faithfully recreated some our most unique RCM synthesis voices for your playing enjoyment. The textures are suitable for Top 40 and all original music applications. Sounds include "Acoustic Grand", "The Mysterians", "Brass Chorale", "Millenium", "Ice Piano" and more.
