Audio Modeling AM-CLAX Overview

Available as an electronic download, Audio Modeling SWAM Clarinets is a virtual instrument plug-in developed to deliver a convincingly realistic virtual clarinet and bass clarinet for composers, producers, and performers in multiple genres. It uses a combination of modeling and sampling technologies to provide versatile timbres while imposing a low load on your system resources.

SWAM Clarinets offers extensive real-time parameters such as growl, flutter tongue, breath noise, and overblow, which can be adjusted via external MIDI controllers or your DAW. It also features a built-in mixer with reverb and pan controls for enhancing the sound. SWAM Clarinets is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.

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.

Control the expression of your virtual acoustic instruments, break the limitations of traditional samplers, and benefit from the organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.

Impressive Expressiveness
Discover an impressively expressive and realistic virtual clarinet and bass clarinet that ensure the same natural reactions as real instruments.

SWAM is a technology based on physical modeling, so it is possible to control the main mechanical variables (e.g. bow position) in real time. In SWAM Clarinets, you can continuously control the main expressive parameters of the instrument with any MIDI controller.

For Stage and Studio Production
Choose SWAM Clarinets for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply selecting different timbres for each instance. From jazz to classical, from country to pop music, just adjust any sound and behavioral parameter to get the exact response you want.
Play with Real-Time Controls
Control the following parameters in real time via MIDI controllers or your DAW:

  • Expression (dynamic)
  • Note transitions (staccato/legato/portamento) with no key switches
  • Legato mode (glissando vs expressive)
  • Vibrato depth
  • Vibrato rate
  • Portamento time
  • Harmonic structure
  • Sub-harmonics
  • Growl
  • Flutter tongue
  • Formant
  • Breath noise
  • Key noise
  • Dynamic pitch
  • Overblow
  • Microtuning
  • Main volume
  • Pan pot
  • Reverb mix
Digitally Handcrafted Instruments
Tired of giga-sized libraries of prerecorded clarinets and the limitations of traditional samplers? SWAM Clarinets is the solution. It was developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM Technology (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling with a multivector phase-synchronous sampling technique.

Real-time controllable via MIDI controllers, SWAM Clarinets requires only the smallest footprint to create the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.
