Audio Modeling has announced an update to its SWAM Solo Brass physically modeled brass instruments.
Version 1.5.0 comes with important sound engine improvements on behavioral aspects and timbre characteristics. It includes new features, usability improvements and bug fixes.
Our convenient bundle includes SWAM Trumpets, SWAM Trombones and SWAM Horns and Tubas, all developed by Audio Modeling using a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of Physical and Behavioral Modeling.
What you get are the most expressive, realistic virtual solo brass on the market. These real-time controllable virtual instruments offer, via MIDI controllers, the same natural reactions as real brass.
