SWAM Tenor Sax vs AudioLayer Usage & Stats

SWAM Solo Woodwinds has arrived on iOS! The incredibly powerful Physical Modeling technology is now MOBILE. Extreme Expressivity and Realism delivered in a package of only 46 MB These instruments are NOT sample libraries. Unlike sampling, which uses recordings to replicate the sound of an instrument, physical modeling doesn’t generate a sound as such but creates the conditions for the system to create it according to an external input (like someone playing on a keyboard). With our SWAM Tenor Sax for iOS, you now have the unique ability to express yourself with all the emotions and subtleties of a natural string instrument sound as played by a real player, in any style — from classical to film scoring and even microtonal music. SWAM Tenor Sax for iOS can be used as a standalone instrument for playing in real-time, or as a plug-in for mobile music production. Play with your favorite external controller or directly from your iOS device through our intuitive interface, friendly for blind and visually impaired users. With SWAM Tenor Sax for iOS you can: - Explore our collection of presets, create your own, or import them from your Desktop - Play in real-time using the standalone version of the app - Play with different instrument bodies - Play in a variety of styles like a real player Control the instrument’s expressivity in real-time directly through the touch control interface on your iPhone or iPad including the exclusive virtual bowing touch surface! - Play and control the instrument’s expressivity in real-time using your favorite external controller (ROLI Seaboard, Akai EWI, breath controllers, regular keyboards, and more) - Use the included AUv3 plugin version to produce music with a mobile setup - Use the included AUv3 plugin version in combination with Camelot PRO for live performances - Adjust every aspect of the instrument’s sound (timbre, vibrato, amount of air, etc.) through an easy-to-use control panel - Micro-tune the instrument through the Pitch Manager (note: MAQAM device is supported with direct integration) - Add built-in effects such as Reverb, EQ, and Compressor - Have access to easy MIDI control configurations The SWAM Tenor Sax for iOS is for you if: - You’re a wind controller player looking for a mobile setup to perform live without needing a computer while still having an incredible sound. - You’re a keyboard player and feeling frustrated by the limited expressive capabilities normal sample-based plugins give you. - You’re a music producer looking for a mobile setup to produce music from anywhere without having to carry around expensive gear. - You’re looking for a virtual instrument that allows you to express the full range of your musicality easily on your iPhone or iPad. IMPORTANT: If you choose to play using an external controller, please note that a controller with the ability to continuously control the expression (like an expression pedal, breath controller, MPE device, wind controller, …) is REQUIRED. The same way real players need a bow to express themself on their instrument, SWAM Tenor Sax needs something to control its expressivity. SWAM instruments do not work with just note-on velocity.

And all this integrated in all relevant iOS production environments especially the emerging AUv3 AudioUnit standard. - SSE - Streaming Sample Engine - The ultra efficient Streaming Sample Engine SSE is capable of playing hundreds of voices of big multi-sampled instruments even in strictly resource limited applications like using multiple instances of AudioLayer in AudioUnit host environments.

This opens a whole new world of creative options for sound mangling. For sound manipulation you can use a full set of Filters, Envelopes and LFOs to shape the pitch, timbre and level of the sound of each Zone.
