Audio Modeling – SWAM Solo Strings Bundle v3.12.4 STANDALONE, VST, VST3, AAX, AU for Windows & Mac

• Pure Physical & Behavioral String Modeling (SWAM-S): Simulates the physical interaction between bow hair, rosin friction, string tension, and wooden resonant cavities in real time with an ultra-light ~94 MB Windows installer footprint.
• Real-Time Bowing Physics: Independent, continuous control over Bow Pressure (scratchy over-pressure to delicate flautando), Bow/Pizz Position (Sul Ponticello near the bridge to Sul Tasto over the fingerboard), Bow Lift (On String detache vs. Off String spiccato/ricochet), and Bow Direction (Down Bow vs. Up Bow).
• Authentic Polyphony & Double-Stops: Intelligent fingerboard topology allowing real-time double-stops across adjacent strings, selectable Polyphony Modes (Mono, Mono String Crossing, Double Hold, Auto), and Alternate Fingering positions (First Position, Mid Position, Near the Bridge).
• Instant Articulation Switching: Seamlessly toggle or morph between Bow (arco), Pizzicato (plucked), and Col Legno (struck with the wood of the bow), alongside natural/artificial Harmonics (octave and twelfth/third partials), Tremolo, and Sordino (mute on/off).
• Three Gesture Modes (Expression, Bipolar, Bowing): Configure the engine for standard unipolar MIDI CC11/CC2 controllers, bi-directional X/Y touchstrips and joysticks (where left/right movement physically drives Down-Bow and Up-Bow speed), or MPE controllers.
• Ambiente Room Simulator Integration: Built-in 3D multi-instance acoustic room simulator that places all active SWAM Solo Strings, String Sections, Woodwinds, and Brass inside a shared virtual stage with accurate early reflections, microphone placement, and phase coherence.

1. SWAM Violin v3.12.4:

   • Full-range solo concert violin (G3 to A7) featuring selectable resonant body models (Classic Cremonese, Bright Soloist, Warm Chamber), continuous portamento/glissando finger slides, and expressive high-register lyricism.

2. SWAM Viola v3.12.4:

   • Expressive alto-register bowed string instrument (C3 to E6) capturing the deep, woody, melancholic C-string resonance and nasal upper-register warmth essential for chamber music and cinematic solos.

3. SWAM Cello v3.12.4:

   • Versatile solo violoncello (C2 to A5) capable of transitioning from delicate, breathy sul tasto underscore and Bach suites to aggressive, biting Romantic solo passages and rhythmic pizzicato basslines.

4. SWAM Double Bass v3.12.4:

   • Deep contrabass solo instrument supporting both standard 4-String (E1–G4) and extended 5-String / C-Extension (B0/C1–G4) tuning configurations.
   • Excels equally in classical orchestral arco, expressive solo jazz walking pizzicato, and dark contemporary bowed drones.
