On SWAM Double Bass, for example, it is possible to combine a portamento of any speed, during a crescendo or a diminuendo, while playing a tremolo. This is possible because this instrument is based on physical and behavioral modeling.
START PLAYING FOR REAL
Developed by Audio Modeling using the SWAM Technology, this digitally handcrafted acoustic instrument is real-time controllable via MIDI controllers and doesn't need any Giga pre-recorded library: the smallest footprint creates the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique of every live performance.
FOR STAGE AND STUDIO PRODUCTION
You can used SWAM Double Bass for Classical, Jazz, Pop, and any other musical style. It’s up to you. It can be layered in a section with no artifacts; just select a different instrument timbre for each instance. Whether you are a composer, producer or live performer, SWAM Double Bass will allow you to play a realistic acoustic instrument in real-time. And it's the only tool available that guarantees this result.
Control the expression of your virtual acoustic instruments, break the limitations of traditional samplers and benefit from the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique of every live performance. No Giga-sized pre-recorded libraries are required, but only the smallest footprint.
PLAY WITH REAL TIME CONTROLS
All the following parameters are controllable in real-time (through MIDI) or by a Digital Audio Workstation:
- Expression (Dynamic)
- Note transitions (Staccato / Legato / Portamento) with no KeySwitches
- Bow Pressure, Bow Position
- Play Mode (Bowed, Pizzicato, Col Legno)
- Mono vs Double polyphony
- Vibrato Depth, Vibrato Rate, Tremolo On/Off
- Tremolo Speed, Harmonics
- Portamento Time
- Portamento split point (across strings)
- Attack speed
- Dynamic Transitions
- Sordino On/Off
- String preferred selection
- Alternate Fingering
- Bow Lift
- Bow Start (Up / Down)
- Sustain
- Microtuning
- Main Volume
- Pan Pot
- Reverb Mix
DIGITALLY HANDCRAFTED INSTRUMENTS
All virtual instruments created with SWAM Technology are far from a simple recordings of notes via sample libraries: they are sets of real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts, and they allow you to control the expression of all virtual acoustic instruments: while a sample library repeats a pre-recorded sound, SWAM instruments play for real.
FORMATS
AU, VST, VST3, AAX 64bit
Mac OSX
10.7 – 10.14 (Mojave)
WINDOWS
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
INSTALL SIZE
Required space after installation: 15 MB for two pluginsRAM occupancy: about 15 MB for each instrument instance
CPU LOAD
The realism and expressiveness of the SWAM instrument requires a computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for running a single plugin instance. Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving higher latencies.
