SWAM Double Reeds by Audio Modeling offers the most realistic, real-time controllable, and expressive virtual double reeds on the market. The collection includes four digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments – the Oboe, the English Horn, the Bassoon, and the Contrabassoon – developed using SWAM Technology.
Start Playing For Real
SWAM Double Reeds can be used for Classical, Pop, and any other musical style. While a sample library repeats a pre-recorded sound, SWAM instruments play for real. Additionally, since they are based on a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling, SWAM Double Reeds don’t include any samples and are extremely lightweight, weighing only a few Megabytes.
Digitally Handcrafted Instruments
No need for Giga-sized pre-recorded libraries: the typical limitations of traditional samplers simply do not exist with SWAM Technology. SWAM Double Reeds is not a mere recording of notes via sample libraries, but rather a set of real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts. It allows you to fully control the expression of a virtual acoustic instrument via MIDI controllers. The smallest footprint guarantees the same natural reactions real instruments would have and the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.
