In 1997, SAWPlus32, and SAW32 were released, designed for the new 32-bit Windows API, and came with more tracks, more features, and DirectX and VST compatibility. By this time SAW was well established on an international level.

The advent of the Internet allowed IQS to completely restructure itself into a full-fledged cyber company. Individual client download areas opened up new potential in being able to offer the SAW programs direct, as well as being able to supply end users with a direct method of accessing updates to the latest version of the program.
