SWAM Violin

SWAM Solo Strings is now available on iOS! The cutting-edge Physical Modeling technology has made its way to mobile devices. Experience extreme expressivity and realism packed into a compact 46 MB size.

These instruments are not your typical sample libraries. Unlike traditional sampling techniques that reproduce instrument sounds from recordings, physical modeling sets the stage for the system to generate sounds based on external inputs, like keystrokes on a keyboard.

With SWAM Violin for iOS, you can uniquely express a wide range of emotions and nuances found in natural string instruments as played by professional musicians across various genres, from classical compositions to film scoring and even microtonal music.

SWAM Violin for iOS can be used either as a standalone instrument for real-time performances or as a plugin for mobile music production. Interact with it using your preferred external controller or directly through the user-friendly interface on your iOS device, catering to visually impaired users as well.

Key features of SWAM Violin for iOS include:

• Explore presets, create custom settings, or import presets from your desktop
• Perform live in real-time using the standalone app
• Experiment with different instrument bodies
• Adapt your playstyle authentically
• Adjust the instrument's expressivity via touch controls on your iPhone or iPad, featuring an exclusive virtual bowing touch surface
• Control expressivity using external controllers like ROLI Seaboard, Akai EWI, breath controllers, regular keyboards, and more
• Incorporate the AUv3 plugin version into your mobile music production setup
• Combine the AUv3 plugin version with Camelot PRO for live performances
• Tweak various sound aspects through an intuitive control panel (e.g., timbre, vibrato, air amount)
• Micro-tune the instrument using the Pitch Manager feature (compatible with MAQAM device integration)
• Apply onboard effects such as Reverb, EQ, and Compressor
• Benefit from simplified MIDI control setups

If you meet any of the following criteria, SWAM Violin for iOS is tailored for you:

• You're a wind controller player seeking a portable setup for live shows without relying on a computer yet maintaining exceptional sound quality.
• You're a keyboardist seeking enhanced expressive capabilities beyond conventional sample-based plugins.
• You're a music producer in search of a mobile production solution that eliminates the need for bulky equipment.
• You desire a virtual instrument that effortlessly showcases your musical range on your iPhone or iPad.

NOTE: When incorporating an external controller, ensure it offers continuous expression control (e.g., expression pedal, breath controller, MPE device, wind controller). Just as professional musicians require bows to express themselves on string instruments, SWAM Violin relies on controllers for its expressivity and is not compatible with simple note-on velocity commands.
