Solo Woodwinds
SWAM DOUBLE REEDS
Four handcrafted digital acoustic instruments – Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon, and Contrabassoon – developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM technology to be the most realistic, real-time controllable, and expressive virtual double reeds on the market.
Any instrument based on SWAM technology allows controlling primary expressive parameters, such as dynamics and vibrato, continuously and in real time.
SWAM Double Reeds also provide comprehensive staccato/legato articulation management, a key characteristic of double reed instruments.

Small footprint!
Disk space: 464 MB
RAM: 100 MB for each instrument instance

The realism and expressiveness of the SWAM instrument requires a computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for running a single plugin instance. Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving higher latencies.

PERFECT FOR STAGE AND STUDIO PRODUCTION
Composers and producers: SWAM instruments let you tweak the instrument’s sound or behavior to get exactly the response you need to fit any context.
Live performers: No other virtual acoustic instrument is as responsive and realistic in real-time performance as a SWAM instrument.

Play parameters in real-time from a MIDI controller or Digital Audio Workstation:
Expression (Dynamic), Note transitions (Staccato / Legato / Portamento) with no keyswitches, 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.
START PLAYING FOR REAL
Thanks to SWAM, you can finally play a realistic virtual saxophone in real time in a way that has never been possible with sample libraries. And forget about the massive amount of memory needed for pre-recorded sample instruments; SWAM instruments need only a small memory footprint.
HANDCRAFTED DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS
Developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM-W Technology, SWAM Double Reeds combine innovative performance techniques, physical modeling, behavioral modeling, and multi-vector, phase-synchronous sample morphing to create the most realistic, real-time controllable, expressive virtual saxophones on the market. SWAM Double Reeds’ real-time control of expressive parameters provides the range and organic feel that enable endless sonic variation and make every live performance unique.
