Swam Flutes

• The SWAM Flute is designed to replicate the expressive techniques of a real flute, including dynamics of breath control for articulation.
• It allows real-time control of parameters such as expression, vibrato, and flutter tongue using standard MIDI controllers or a breath controller.
• Requires macOS 10.13 or later and a computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for optimal performance.

Product Overview

SWAM Flutes encompasses a collection of four virtual instruments: Flute, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, and Piccolo, each designed to capture the nuanced expressiveness of their acoustic counterparts. The library excels in articulations, allowing for real-time control of dynamics, vibrato, and flutter tongue, all driven by breath dynamics, which adds a layer of realism to performances.

Details

The SWAM Flutes are built on advanced physical and behavioral modeling, offering a range of expressive techniques that can be manipulated via standard MIDI controllers or breath controllers. This flexibility allows for a natural playing experience, closely mimicking the nuances of live flute performance. Articulations include staccato, legato, and portamento, with seamless transitions between them, eliminating the need for keyswitches.

Real-time performance controls enable adjustments to expression, vibrato depth, and other parameters, enhancing the instrument's responsiveness. The intimate timbre retains key and breath detail, making it suitable for both solo and ensemble contexts. The library's design prioritizes accessibility, ensuring that musicians of all abilities can engage with the instrument effectively.
