SWAM Viola v3

SWAM Viola is the most realistic, real-time controllable, expressive virtual viola on the market. Developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM technology, it guarantees the same natural reactions as a real instrument. SWAM Viola is instrument modeled with algorithms, recreating the behaviour of the real acoustic instrument. There are no pre recorded samples that’s why there are endless expressive sound combinations  you can get.

For example, assign the bow pressure to a knob of any MIDI controller, and create your own music.

SMALL FOOTPRINT!

• Required space after installation: 16 MB per single plugin format + 15 MB for shared resources and assets, 240 MB for the complete Solo Strings bundle (all plugin formats).
• RAM occupancy: about 15 MB per instrument instance.

CPU LOAD
The realism and expressiveness of the SWAM instruments requires a computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for running a single plugin instance. Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving higher latencies.

V3 RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS

• 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.
