SWAM Horns and Tubas

SWAM Horns and Tubas by Audio Modeling are five digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments – Bass Tuba, Tuba (Eb), Euphonium, French Horn (F), French Horn (Bb) – designed using SWAM Technology. These instruments offer the most realistic, real-time controllable, and expressive virtual Horns and Tubas available today.

SWAM Horns and Tubas are realized with Physical Modeling: This innovative technology allows for the real-time reproduction of all typical articulations of these instruments by manipulating their main physical elements such as pipe length, breath pressure, and lip tension. For French Horns, the sound can be modulated using a hand inside the bell, and pedal notes can be performed by enabling the additional-valve option. This feature is now available for all SWAM Brass Family instruments.

Start Playing for Real: SWAM Engine digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments are not simple recordings of notes via sample libraries, but real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts. They allow you to control the expression of a virtual acoustic instrument, providing a playing experience where SWAM instruments perform in real-time instead of replaying pre-recorded sounds.

Digitally Handcrafted Instruments: Developed using SWAM Technology, these instruments are controllable via a MIDI controller in real-time, eliminating the need for Giga-sized pre-recorded libraries. This results in a perfect organic consistency, offering endless expressive parameters unique to every live performance.

Key Features:

• Bass Tuba: Realistic and expressive Bass Tuba with advanced physical modeling.
• Tuba (Eb): Digitally handcrafted Tuba (Eb) offering unparalleled control and expressiveness.
• Euphonium: Rich and realistic Euphonium sound, responsive to real-time playing nuances.
• French Horn (F): Hand-modulated sound and additional-valve option for pedal notes.
• French Horn (Bb): Highly expressive and controllable French Horn (Bb) with SWAM Technology.
