Audio Modeling SWAM Strings Bundle

The SWAM Strings Bundle from Audio Modeling includes Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, and Strings Sections virtual instruments. Compatible with Windows and MAC systems, these instruments can be used as standalone, or with DAWs compatible with VST, AU3, or AAX 64-bit. The bundle features a user-friendly interface and accessibility features that enable visually impaired users to engage in the creative process.

Audio Modeling Swam String Sections

New to Version 3

The following features are new in Version 3:

Standalone version, introduced VST3 plug-in format, and Native Instruments NKS compatibility

Powerful MIDI Mapping feature that supports CC, Hi-Res CC, After-Touch NRPN, and remapping curves that allow more customization and sensitivity to any controller

Realistic Legatos

New Pizzicato Model

General Sound improvement and behavior of bowed string

Timbral Correction: You’ll be able to select up to two harmonics to adjust (for emphasis or reduction)

Real-time bow Sensitivity Control (on Bowing mode), giving you the ability to transform the bow from a short bow with soft strokes to a full-length bow with strong strokes

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.

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. Choose SWAM Viola for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply by selecting different timbres for each instance. Because of its low CPU load, the software lends itself to live performance as well.
