SWAM instruments sound average with a mouse, good with a keyboard, but astonishing with a MIDI controller. For macOS, Audio Modeling V3.5.0 has pre-mapped templates for:

Without these, use the mod wheel (CC1) for dynamics and aftertouch for vibrato.

| Attribute | Details | |-----------|---------| | Product Name | SWAM All In Bundle V3.5.0 | | Developer | Audio Modeling | | Version | 3.5.0 | | Platform | macOS (Native Apple Silicon + Intel) | | Plugin Formats | AU, VST3, AAX (64-bit) | | License Type | Perpetual (iLok Cloud, iLok USB, or Machine License) | | Main Category | Physical modeling virtual instruments |

| Instrument | Key Features | |------------|---------------| | Violin | Bow pressure, position, vibrato types | | Viola | Darker resonance, C-string detail | | Cello | Rich harmonics, col legno | | Double Bass | Pizzicato, arco, Bartók pizz |

Note: The bundle also includes the SWAM Cello 2.0 (updated modeling engine) and SWAM Violin 2.0 as of V3.5.0.

The defining feature of the SWAM bundle is that it contains zero samples.

After testing the new v3.5.0 on an M2 Mac Studio (Logic Pro 11), the performance leap is immediately noticeable. Loading a full string quintet with the new native Apple Silicon code uses roughly half the CPU of the previous Intel version running under Rosetta.

The breath controller support remains the killer feature. If you pair SWAM with a TEControl BBCv2 or a Leap Motion, the phrasing, vibrato, and dynamic swells become indistinguishable from a recorded live player.

V3.5.0 provides native support for M1, M2, and M3 chips (AU, VST3, AAX).
