Wait, you just sparked an idea. I know Edirol HQ Orchestral has this but I haven't confirmed this. I don't know anything about other synths. Some of the instruments like violins, flutes, and stuff were sampled with vibrato, and with no vibrato. On some of the voices, if you played at a lower velocity, there would be no vibrato, when you played at higher velocity, the vibrato would be used. And there are other versions of those instruments, where if you have the mod wheel at a low setting there is no vibrato, but if you turn the mod wheel up, the vibrato version will be used instead. The velocity doesn't matter. It's not very good sounding though as you can hear it fade between the two samples especially if you do it right in the middle of a note. But, I do believe that it is what VSW and MSW mean.

Here's a possibility. Perhaps the V stands for Velocity while the M stands
for Modulation, indicating which control is used to do something in the
sound. What happens when you play a VSW sound harder or softer, or move the
mod wheel on an MSW sound?  Perhaps some sort of Wah effect?

Can you tell us a little more about where you saw these

Hello,
Does anyone here know what VSW or MSW might mean? I have tried to
look at some online resources, but what I came up with was something
to do with sound frequency.
Many thanks,
Alfredo
