Solo Woodwinds
SWAM FLUTES
The SWAM Flutes bundle includes four instruments: Flute, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, and Piccolo.
The SWAM Flute is a perfect illustration of how a virtual instrument can realize the concept of articulation. The physics of the flute determine that the instrument’s main expressive techniques (such as expression, vibrato, and flutter tongue) all depend on a single factor: the dynamics of the breath.
With SWAM Flute, all these parameters are easily controlled in real time with standard MIDI controllers, or even with a breath controller for a truly realistic feel.
Nothing could be more natural…other than playing an actual acoustic flute!

macOS
The required space is 32 MB per single plugin format plus 50 MB for shared resources and assets. The total range is from 178 MB to 690 MB depending on the number of plugin formats installed.
RAM occupancy: about 100 MB for each instrument instance.
Windows
Product installer is 160 MB. The required space is 16 MB per single plugin format plus 50 MB for shared resources and assets. The total range is from 114 MB to 306 MB depending on the number of plugin formats installed.

CPU load
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.
