Available as an electronic download, Audio Modeling SWAM Double Bass V3 is a virtual instrument plug-in designed to give you the sound of a realistic double bass in your music productions and compositions. This double-bass instrument doesn't rely on samples to deliver its expressive and convincing virtual double-bass sounds, but uses physical modeling technology instead. Thus, you can have all the power and gravitas of a double bass for your solo, orchestral, and chamber arrangements, while experincing only a negligible load on your system resources.
SWAM Double Bass V3 offers extensive real-time parameters such as bow pressure, bow position, harmonics, and dynamic transitions, which can be adjusted via external MIDI controllers, or within your DAW. The software also features a built-in mixer with reverb and pan controls for enhancing the sound. SWAM double bass V3 is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.
- 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 (in 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
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.
SWAM Double Bass 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.
Choose SWAM Double Bass for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply selecting different timbres for each instance.
