Audio Modeling PolySWAM Virtual Polyphonic Instrument Plug-In

The PolySWAM Virtual Polyphonic Instrument Plug-In from Audio Modeling introduces the realism of expressive polyphony to the established SWAM instrument, giving the user new capabilities in orchestral sketching and live performance.

Dynamic Legato and Polyphonic Gestures

Living transitions: Powered by the SWAM engine and driven by proprietary voice-allocation algorithms, PolySWAM naturally reacts to your touch, seamlessly playing legato, staccato, and even generating smooth, realistic portamentos.

Smarter phrasing: By understanding how you shift between notes and chords, the system shapes the transitions dynamically. You can achieve surprisingly realistic and fluid musical phrases.

Pure Plug-and-Play

PolySWAM doesn't trigger static recordings like a sampler

It calculates physical behavior in real time and dynamically assigns voices to individual virtual players

No complex configuration or layout setup—select a preset, play, and instantly feel the different acoustic articulations built into the instrument

No need to search through thousands of samples

Media, Film, TV, and Game Composers

Immediately Sketch and Create Demos

Lay down harmonic structures and orchestral colors on one DAW track—no 200-track templates, no articulation keyswitches

Double your orchestral libraries: keep their room and spatial character while PolySWAM adds organic attacks, authentic legato, and swells without sample stepping

Live Performers and Stage Keyboardists

Ten-finger ensemble playing

Command soaring string sections, punchy funk horns, and full acoustic ensembles live, with complete dynamic response

No patch-switching onstage: a single preset handles legatos, sustains, and accents on the fly, with zero reload interruptions

Near-zero RAM footprint, no sample streaming drops, instant startup, and unified expression control via pedals, breath controllers, and macros

Ambiente, Stage Placement, and Scenes

A Cohesive Acoustic Space

The Ambient Room Simulator and Stage Placement let you balance acoustic depth and arrange players across the stage like a conductor

Scenes recall rooms, placement, and EQ and macro profiles instantly—without reloading the engine
