The SWAM Flute is a perfect example to illustrate how the concept of “articulation” can be overcome. The physics of the instrument demonstrates that the main expressive elements of the instrument (like expression, vibrato, and flutter tongue) depend on a single factor: the dynamics of the breath.
Start Playing For Real
SWAM Flutes, like all 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. Our technology allows you to fully control the expression of any virtual acoustic instrument: start playing for real.
Digitally Handcrafted Instruments
Tired of Giga-sized pre-recorded libraries of flutes and the limitations of traditional samplers? SWAM Flutes is the solution. Developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM Technology (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling with the multi-vector/phase-synchronous sampling technique.
Real-time controllable via MIDI controllers, SWAM Flutes requires only the smallest footprint to create the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance: it’s a set of the most expressive and realistic virtual flutes on the market.

System Requirements
Ensure your system meets the following requirements for optimal performance:
Operating System:
- Windows: Windows 10, Windows 11
- Mac: macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) – 13.3 (Ventura)
Hardware:
- CPU: 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for running a single plugin instance
- Memory: 100 MB for each instrument instance
- Storage: 750 MB required space after installation
Compatible with Standalone, Audio Units, VST, VST3, AAX 64-bit, and NKS (Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol). Apple Silicon architecture supported natively (AAX Silicon supported natively starting from v3.7.0).
*Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving higher latencies.
