Solo Strings
SWAM DOUBLE BASS
SWAM Double Bass is the most realistic and expressive virtual double bass on the market.
There is no limit to the number of possible combinations with SWAM Solo Strings.
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 behavioural 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.
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.
