Audio Modeling has introduced a new approach to expressive polyphony. Currently in public beta, PolySWAM is designed to bring the expressiveness and performance realism of SWAM instruments into polyphonic orchestral sketching and live performance.
Proving an immediate, deeply inspiring, and highly expressive acoustic arsenal, PolySWAM calculates physical behavior in real-time and dynamically assigns voices to individual virtual players. PolySWAM naturally reacts to your touch, seamlessly playing legato, staccato, and even generating smooth, realistic portamentos.
From the very beginning, SWAM has deliberately remained monophonic. Not because polyphony wasn’t desirable, but because realism and expressive control have always come first.
Rather than changing SWAM, we created an entirely new instrument designed to find the right balance between the expressiveness and performance realism of SWAM instruments and the possibilities offered by polyphony.
Developed together with Emanuele Ruffinengo, Latin GRAMMY Award-winning producer, arranger, and music technology expert, PolySWAM introduces a new approach to expressive polyphony.
PolySWAM is available to preorder for $279 USD at AudioDeluxe and from the Audio Modeling store until the official release (regular $399 USD). The Beta Program is available for macOS and Windows.
