UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI “La Statale”, MILAN
Audio Modeling collaborates with Università degli Studi “La Statale” in Milan, especially with the LIM (Music Informatics Laboratory) (directed by Prof. Goffredo Haus), and its undergraduate Programme in Music Informatics (coordinated by Prof. Federico Avanzini). Some of our developers are former students of this Programme and their experience in our company has been the foundation of their theses. These same interns have become integral parts of Audio Modeling after completing their degrees, and are now active in the constant improvement of our solutions.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA
In 2017, Stefano Lucato and Emanuele Parravicini held a DSP seminar titled “Digital Modeling of Expressive Acoustic Instruments” at Stanford University in California (USA). The seminar focused on the research and development of powerful and sophisticated technologies following the ever-increasing demand for expressive virtual instruments. Specifically, Lucato and Parravicini explained in detail how the typical constraints of samplers and synthesizers were overcome through the exploration and in-depth study of Physical Modeling techniques, especially the Digital Waveguides Synthesis by Prof. Julius O. Smith. More information about the seminar can be found on the Stanford University website.
UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI “TOR VERGATA”
Audio Modeling collaborates with the Università degli Studi “Tor Vergata” and its Master in SONIC ARTS degree program coordinated by Luigi Sansò, and directed by Giovanni Costantini. The partnership includes holding courses about sound design, software development and UX design. The Master in SONIC ARTS program aims to train experienced professionals in the creation and management of musical products in the field of art, with particular reference to the hardware and software technologies used today in the music production and the composition of electronic music. Audio Modeling is proud to offer its support and know-how to the students on the Master in SONIC ARTS program and makes its products available for the labs.
SAINT LOUIS COLLEGE OF MUSIC, ROME
Audio Modeling collaborates with Saint Louis College of Music in Rome. The partnership includes holding workshops for the students, and offering support and know-how to the students. We also make our products available for the labs.

MUSICMATE PLATFORM
Audio Modeling has also designed MusicMate, a web-management platform specifically created for the operational management of music schools. MusicMate offers flawless tools for teachers and students to assist with management, enrollment, courses, scheduling, classrooms, lessons, annual calendar, register logs and finances.
MY BREATH MY MUSIC
My Breath My Music is a foundation coordinated by Ruud van der Wel which offers people with severe physical disabilities the opportunity to create music, for example through self-adapted electronic instruments and electronic instruments that they have developed themselves. The goal of the foundation is to develop and customize electronic musical instruments so that they can be adapted properly for playing by their target group, for whom a customized teaching method has also been designed. Audio Modeling has sponsored My Breath My Music by providing a complete set of its SWAM instruments.
OHMI
Audio Modeling has sponsored the OHMI trust, a UK-based charity pioneering the development and adaptation of musical instruments for physically-disabled people, by providing a complete set of its SWAM instruments.
SWAM AS EDUCATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
Audio Modeling’s SWAM products can also be used as educational tools to provide students with a musical experience extremely similar to that of real instruments. When used with a didactic approach, SWAM allows students to understand the responses and limits imposed by the physics of the instruments. For example, students can make scratchy noises when pushing the bow on a string, or they can make a woodwind instrument “whistle” if it’s blown too hard, etc.
