Now featuring the revolutionary Room Simulator "Ambiente", this cutting-edge Physical Modeling technology delivers the depth and nuance of a real brass performance—in real time.
Unlike sampled libraries, SWAM Trumpet doesn’t rely on pre-recorded sounds but generates authentic performances dynamically, responding to every subtlety of your playing, just like a real trumpet player.
New Features and Key Benefits
Room Simulator "Ambiente": Take advantage of advanced spatial control with the built-in Room Simulator "Ambiente", allowing you to position the instrument in a realistic acoustic space, interact dynamically with other SWAM instruments in the same virtual room, and create truly immersive performances. Additionally, the EQ, and Compressor effects are available for fine-tuning your sound.
Standalone and AUv3 Plugin: Perform in real time or integrate SWAM Trumpet seamlessly into your mobile production workflow.
Intuitive, Inclusive Interface: Designed for everyone, including blind and visually impaired users.
Expressive Control: Play with unmatched expressivity using MPE controllers, keyboards, breath controllers, or other MIDI devices.

Who is SWAM Trumpet for iOS Designed For?

Musicians Seeking Expressivity: Looking for a virtual instrument that allows you to express the full range of your musicality easily on your iPhone or iPad.
IMPORTANT
To fully harness the expressive power of SWAM Trumpet, a controller capable of continuous expression (such as a breath controller, expression pedal, MPE device, or wind controller) is required. Just like a trumpet player shapes their sound with breath and embouchure, SWAM Trumpet needs expressive input for maximum realism.
With SWAM Trumpet for iOS, you have the freedom to create lifelike brass performances on your iPhone or iPad. Redefine your music with unparalleled realism and expressive depth—anytime, anywhere.
