Audio Modeling SWAM Solo Strings Bundle Virtual Instrument Plug-Ins (Upgrade from Solo Violin & Double Bass, Download)

Ideal for composers, producers, and performers, the Audio Modeling SWAM Solo Strings Bundle is a collection of virtual instrument plug-ins offering the reactions, nuances, and sounds of their real counterparts. It includes SWAM Violin, SWAM Viola, SWAM Cello, and SWAM Double Bass—all available in AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats. With expressive real-time parameters and minimal taxing on system resources, SWAM instruments are equally advantageous for painstaking studio production and improvisational live performances.

Start Playing for Real

SWAM Engine digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments are never a simple recording of notes via sample libraries, but rather a set of real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts. While a sample library repeats a prerecorded sound, SWAM instruments play for real.

Realistic Virtual Violin

SWAM Violin V3 is a realistic, real-time-controllable, and expressive virtual violin. SWAM technology guarantees the same natural reactions as real instruments, letting you compose orchestral pieces or concertos utilizing powerful instruments with natural, fluid expression. SWAM Violin V3 is an instrument based on physical modeling, making it possible to control the main mechanical variables in real time. For example, the velocity can control the attack of the sound and the portamento time when playing legato. The modulation wheel can control the vibrato and any foot pedal can be assigned to the expression. There is indeed no limit to the number of possible combinations.

For Stage and Studio Production

SWAM Technology overcomes the limitations that are typical of traditional samplers through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling, with no samples required.
