Audio Modeling SWAM Solo Horns and Tubas Virtual Instrument Plug-In Overview
Available as an electronic download, Audio Modeling SWAM Solo Horns and Tubas is a virtual instrument plug-in developed to deliver five convincingly realistic virtual brass family instruments—bass tuba, tuba (Eb), euphonium, French horn (F), and French horn (Bb)—for composers, producers, and performers in multiple genres. By using modeling instead of samples, it provides versatile timbres while imposing a low load on your system resources.
SWAM Solo Horns and Tubas offers extensive real-time parameters such as dirtiness, attack tongue, pipe gesture, and mute control, which can be adjusted via external MIDI controllers or your DAW. It also features a built-in mixer with reverb and pan controls for enhancing the sound. SWAM Solo Horns and Tubas is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.
Start Playing for Real
SWAM Engine digitally handcrafted acoustic instruments are never a simple recording of notes via sample libraries, but rather a set of real virtual instruments based on their traditional counterparts. While a sample library repeats a prerecorded sound, SWAM Horns and Tubas are realized through modeling technology.
Control the expression of your virtual acoustic instruments, break the limitations of traditional samplers, and benefit from the organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.
Five Digitally Handcrafted Virtual Instruments
SWAM Horns and Tubas includes five realistic virtual instruments—bass tuba, tuba (Eb), euphonium, French horn (F), and French horn (Bb). SWAM technology guarantees the same natural reactions as real instruments, letting you compose and arrange your jazz, orchestral pieces, or concertos utilizing powerful instruments with natural, fluid expression.
For Stage and Studio Production
Choose SWAM Horns and Tubas for composing, producing, or performing. Physical modeling allows all articulations typical of these instruments to be reproduced in real time by acting on its main physical elements such as pipe length, breath pressure, and lip tension. In French horns, the sound can be modulated using a hand inside the bell. Moreover, one can perform pedal notes by enabling the additional-valve option. This feature is now available for all of the SWAM brass family.

Digitally Handcrafted Instruments
Tired of giga-sized libraries of prerecorded audio and the limitations of traditional samplers? SWAM Horns and Tubas is the solution. It was developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM Technology (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling. SWAM Horns and Tubas instruments don’t include any samples and use very little storage space and RAM.
Real-time controllable via MIDI controllers, SWAM Horns and Tubas requires only the smallest footprint to create the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.
