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.
The Audio Modeling Swam String Sections is a suite of four plug-ins, each corresponding to the Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass orchestra sections. The plugin works in your DAW, providing real-time control over staccato, legato, expression, and more to create authentic blended acoustics. The software allows you to create an orchestral arrangement with seamless transitions between different styles and articulations. Compatible with Windows and macOS, supporting AAX, VST, and VST3 protocols, use with most DAWs.
Available as an electronic download, Audio Modeling SWAM Violin V3 is a virtual instrument plug-in developed to deliver expressive and convincingly realistic virtual violin sounds for composers, producers, and performers in multiple genres. By using physical modeling technology instead of samples, it provides immense versatility while imposing a low load on your system resources.
SWAM Violin offers extensive real-time parameters such as bow pressure, bow position, harmonics, and dynamic transitions, 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 Violin is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, NKS, and VST3 plug-in formats. It also works as a standalone application.
- 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
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 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.
Choose SWAM Violin V3 for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply selecting different timbres for each instance.
