SOS SOFTWARE
SOS (for "Sound On Sound") Software (England, St Ives - Cambridgeshire) is attached to the publications of the same name.
Jointly to their magazine, they sold specific disks connected to their articles. They distributed four SY77 soundbanks available on 3.5" floppy disks programmed by Martin Russ.

Any informations about it or - best of all - a sysex version of it would be much appreciated! Many thanks to the internaute who kindly mentioned it to me.
 S109 "Disk #1" - 64 original sounds by Martin Russ for this immensely versatile workstation, slanted towards unusual and individual timbres rather than directly intuative. Also includes a "tone poem" demo song tour from an Australian beach.
 S210 "Disk #2" - Another 64 original sounds by Martin Russ for this powerful workstation this time concentrating on exploiting the power of RCM synthesis for unusual timbres and tonal effects. Includes a demo song which shows snapshots of different arrangements of a piece using some of the sounds on the disk. A text file (in ST compatible format) on the disk contains a listing of the voices.
 S211 "Disk #3" - Another 64 sounds from Martin Russ. Based around a project to transfer (reprogram-imitate !?) some Roland JX-10 sounds (and others) to the SY77, these voices are a result which includes some very powerful "analogue" type sounds. The demo song is an experiment which investigates string arrangements. The voices are oisted in an ST readable text file on the disk.
 S228 "Disk #4" - 100 drums patterns, 16  drum kits, 16  specially designed  "jamming multi, some extra 'unusual' kits", and a collection of sounds from the first three disks together with some converted previews of SY99 sounds. The drum pattern shows a strong preference for 4/4 rhythm at 120 bpm,  whilst the sounds are typical Martin Russ. SY77 disk format.
