Available as an electronic download, Audio Modeling SWAM Violin V3 is a virtual instrument plug-in developed to deliver expressive and convincingly realistic virtual violin sounds for composers, producers, and performers in multiple genres. By using physical modeling technology instead of samples, it provides immense versatility while imposing a low load on your system resources.

SWAM Violin offers extensive real-time parameters such as bow pressure, bow position, harmonics, and dynamic transitions, which can be adjusted via external MIDI controllers or your DAW. It also features a built-in mixer with reverb and pan controls for enhancing the sound. SWAM Violin is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, NKS, and VST3 plug-in formats. It also works as a standalone application.

The following features are new in Version 3:

• Standalone version, introduced VST3 plug-in format, and Native Instruments NKS compatibility
• Powerful MIDI Mapping feature that supports CC, Hi-Res CC, After-Touch NRPN, and remapping curves that allow more customization and sensitivity to any controller
• Realistic Legatos
• New Pizzicato Model
• General Sound improvement and behavior of bowed string
• Timbral Correction: You’ll be able to select up to two harmonics to adjust (for emphasis or reduction)
• Real-time bow Sensitivity Control (on Bowing mode), giving you the ability to transform the bow from a short bow with soft strokes to a full-length bow with strong strokes

SWAM Engine digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments are never a simple recording of notes via sample libraries, but rather a set of real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts. While a sample library repeats a prerecorded sound, SWAM instruments play for real.

Control the expression of your virtual acoustic instruments, break the limitations of traditional samplers, and benefit from the organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.

SWAM Violin V3 is a realistic, real-time-controllable, and expressive virtual violin. SWAM technology guarantees the same natural reactions as real instruments, letting you compose orchestral pieces or concertos utilizing powerful instruments with natural, fluid expression.

SWAM Violin V3 is an instrument based on physical modeling, making it possible to control the main mechanical variables in real time. For example, the velocity can control the attack of the sound and the portamento time when playing legato. The modulation wheel can control the vibrato and any foot pedal can be assigned to the expression. There is indeed no limit to the number of possible combinations.

SWAM Technology overcomes the limitations that are typical of traditional samplers through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling, with no samples required.

Choose SWAM Violin V3 for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply selecting different timbres for each instance.

Control the following parameters in real time via MIDI controllers or your DAW:

• Expression (dynamic)
• Note transitions (staccato/legato/portamento) with no key switches
• Bow pressure
• Bow position
• Play mode (bowed, pizzicato, or col legno)
• Mono vs double polyphony
• Vibrato depth
• Vibrato rate
• Tremolo on/off
• Tremolo speed
• Harmonics
• Portamento time
• Portamento split point (across strings)
• Attack speed
• Dynamic transitions
• Sordino on/off
• String preferred selection
• Alternate fingering
• Bow lift and bow start (up/down)
• Sustain
• Microtuning
• Main volume
• Pan pot
• Reverb mix

Tired of giga-sized libraries of prerecorded audio and the limitations of traditional samplers? SWAM Violin V3 is the solution. It was developed using Audio Modeling's proprietary SWAM-S engine, a powerful physical-modeling technology derived from the digital waveguides approach.

Real-time controllable via MIDI controllers, SWAM Violin V3 requires only the smallest footprint to create the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.
