Before You Start
Although these instruments are intuitive and easy to play “out- - -of the box”, getting excellent results
requires a certain amount of practice and experience. Please read this user manual carefully. It
contains very important information that will help you achieve the best results in a much shorter time.
Also listen to the demos on the Audio Modeling website https://audiomodeling.com and on our
YouTube channel https://audiomodeling.com/youtube
The latest version of all SWAM manuals can be found at https://audiomodeling.com/manuals
All SWAM instruments are designed to be PLAYED in real time by shaping the sound like a real
instrumentalist would. They will function on any modern computer (see System requirements), by
using a suitable host such as a sequencer (Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, etc.), DAW (digital audio
workstation) or a host application supporting the plugin format VST, Audio Units or AAX. These
instruments use Audio Modeling's proprietary SWAM (Synchronous Wave Acoustic Modeling)
technology conceived by Stefano Lucato, and provide an exceptional playability and realism. These
are not samples, using pre-recorded articulations, but complex virtual instruments, capable of
shaping almost any kind of articulation and phrasing in real time. They can be played using any MIDI
device such as a keyboard, breath or wind controller. (It is, however, essential that the instruments
are suitably controlled using an appropriate MIDI device, as described in this manual). Direct
programming via a sequencer (without any MIDI devices) is also possible.

CPU load
The realism and expressiveness of the SWAM instrument set can be very CPU intensive. It therefore
requires a modern computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for a single instance of any
SWAM product. Additional instances will require both a more powerful processor and a low-latency
audio driver/device (e.g. ASIO), especially to play the instrument in real time.
Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving
higher latencies.

A good quality audio interface (USB, FireWire, PCI) with suitable low-latency drivers (like ASIO for
PC users) is required. The allowed buffer size is up to 2048 samples. Recommended settings are 128,
256 samples, or 512 samples (higher latency, but less CPU load).

SWAM instruments (like any other virtual instrument) can be successfully used without the need for
any additional hardware (except the audio interface) by drawing the controller curves and
programming the notes directly in the host sequencer. However, a much more “human” and
interactive configuration is recommended — — especially when playing in real time using external
MIDI devices:
A MIDI keyboard with at least 5 octaves, mod wheel & pitch bend, connected to the computer via
USB or an external MIDI interface, equipped with a set of physical continuous MIDI controllers
(usually knobs or sliders) to control effects like overblow, subharmonics, growl, etc.
An expression pedal, controlling the dynamics via CC11. Although the dynamics can be controlled
by another physical controller (knob, slider, ribbon, XY pad), a pedal is highly recommended. As an -
alternative, a breath controller, such as a Yamaha BC3, TEControl or Hornberg Research HB1, can
be used. Using a pedal or a breath controller is highly recommended.
Woodwind or brass players may prefer to use a wind controller such as a Yamaha WX, Akai EWI
(USB, 4000S or 5000) or Aodyo Sylphyo; all of them provide excellent results.
Multi- expressive devices like the Seaboard or the LinnStrument are supported.
Software requirements
A DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or a Host capable of running VST2.4, Audio Units or AAX plugins
is needed to run the SWAM instruments.
If you do not have a host application capable of running VST or AU plugins, you can install a free
host application such as https://camelotpro.comCamelot ( ).
A list of compatible hosts and DAWs can be found on our Knowledge base:

Using an appropriate range of
expression
This is an extremely important aspect for getting the optimal expressiveness and realism with virtual
instruments.
All real instruments require a much greater degree of effort to achieve the highest possible dynamics
for that instrument. This is not the case for most physical MIDI controllers; it is indeed very easy to
push an expression pedal, or a slider, to the m . aximum and leave it there forever Oddly enough,
even breath and wind controllers tend to jump very easily to the highest dynamics (unless carefully
set), so that the most expressive range (mp to mf) is seldom exploited. This results all too often in
the virtual instrument range of to a being played in an excessive dynamics, leading unavoidably
poor, unrealistic performance.
Please keep in mind that the key to expressiveness and realism is a proper use of dynamics. Always
monitor the input expression value on the main display and adjust the dynamics accordingly. A
useful trick is to set the overall monitoring volume vents fairly high. This automatically pre any
inclination toward over using dynamics.
It is also important to optimize the general volume of your loudspeakers/headphones at an average
value of Expression. Too low an output level would easily induce the user to use high Expression
levels, usually yielding excessively “biting” sounds.

in wind controller or breath controller mode. These default settings can be changed manually . For
example, if you wish to use a volume pedal to control the expression, just open the “MIDI mapping”
page (clicking on the "Options" button and then on “MIDI mapping” button) and set the Expression
CC to 7. If needed, this assignment can be permanently stored as a preset (see below). Automatic
assignment is also possible. Just “MIDI mapping”open the “ ” page and activate the Learn button

T - riggers note on & off when goes abovethe expression controller or
below a certain threshold. This is a very important feature when playing
a breath controller as with a: real instrument, the depressed key only
determines the (initial) note played, but does not trigger it. The note is
only played when actually the player blows , into the BC device and
stops when the airflow ceases. Note: Choosing the bre h controller at
preset on the instrument preset menu automatically activates this
mode and sets the expression to CC2.
Available options: Off, Normal and Fast. Fast mode (attack modeling)
has less latency than . Normal mode (sampled attack)

The MIDI CC remapper allows you to remap all the control parameters to any MIDI CC depending
on your needs.
All the main parameters of the instrument are assignable to respond to MIDI CCs so they can be
controlled in real-time from a MIDI controller or from a MIDI sequence in a DAW.
It is possible to assign the same MIDI CC to more than one parameter; in addition, it is possible to
act on the Min/Max controls to rescale the input MIDI values.
Note: when the value assigned to “Min” is greater than the value assigned to “Max”, the polarity of
the control is inverted, i.e. the parameter is reduced when the control is increased.
Note: Legato Mode, Sustain, OverBlow, FallDown and MicroTuning have only On (CC>=64) and Off
status (CC<64).

Alternate Fingering. Can be changed by using esthe Key Switch E1
(momentary) or F1 (latch) or controlled by CC28. Certain real flute
tones can be obtained by playing a higher overtone using “ ” a longer
tube, or by playing the fundamental tone using ) “ ” a (much shorter
tube, i.e. using an alternative fingering. When "AltF" is on, the (mainly
high pitched) tones sound like those played when using a shorter tube,
i.e. is obtained an alternative fingering. This means a “cleaner” sound
in the higher range and so is less colored by subharmonics and
interharmonics.
