Audio Modeling has introduced the first release in its new Discovery series. More than a virtual instrument, SWAM VariFlute is an invitation to explore a limitless world of sound.
Entirely based on physical modeling, it gives you the freedom to create your own flutes — from recorders to pan flutes, from ancient to imagined — customizing size, material, bore design, and more. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned creator, VariFlute empowers your musical journey with unmatched realism and creative flexibility.
SWAM VariFlute features
- Limitless Instrument Creation: Design your own flute-like instruments by adjusting physical characteristics — length, diameter, material, hole configuration, and more — without relying on fixed presets or samples.
- Global Sound Palette: Reproduce and reinvent sounds inspired by instruments like the shakuhachi, bansuri, ocarina, and panpipes — or invent entirely new timbres that defy cultural and geographic borders.
- Continuous Expressivity: Experience the fluid dynamics of breath and embouchure control with a fully physically-modeled engine that responds in real time to your every gesture.
- Perfect for Exploration: A playground for sonic experimentation, VariFlute invites you to break boundaries and discover your own unique voice — no prior experience required.
- Part of the Discovery Series: Designed to inspire and engage a new wave of creators, the Discovery series brings top-tier technology into reach for everyone — at a price that welcomes exploration.
Available for Windows and Mac (Standalone, VST/VST3, AU and AAX), SWAM VariFlute is on sale for the intro price of $39 USD for a limited time at AudioDeluxe and from the Audio Modeling store (regular $189 USD). The new instrument is free for SWAM Flutes owners (current and new).
