Sample Modeling Solo Strings Full Keyboard Range

Our SWAM-S technology guarantees the same natural reactions as a real instrument.

With SWAM instruments you can compose and arrange your orchestra pieces or concertos.

So it is possible to control the main mechanical variables in real time.

For example, the velocity controls the attack of the sound and the portamento time, as well when playing legato.

The Mod. Wheel can control the vibrato and any foot pedal can be assigned to the expression.

There is indeed no limit to the number of possible combinations.

Studio Strings Auto Voice Split extended parameters The following parameters apply only to section instruments when the Auto Voice Split button is active in the main window.

Click the disclosure triangle at the lower left to view the extended parameters.

Note: The parameters are different for solo and section instruments.

Vibrato Controller pop-up menu: Choose a MIDI controller to adjust vibrato.

Dynamic Controller pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI controller used to adjust an instruments dynamics (soft-loud) while a note is playing.

This function requires the Dynamics via CC button in the main interface to be turned on.

Dynamic Controller Mode pop-up menu: Choose a mode that determines assigned MIDI controller behavior and instrument response to incoming velocity data.

Controller (Absolute): Dynamics are controlled only by the absolute value of the assigned MIDI controller.

Velocity Controller (Catch): Dynamics are controlled by both incoming velocity data and by the value of the assigned MIDI controller when it matches any existing controller value.

For example, a MIDI control knob with a value of 15 has no impact on dynamic behavior until it reaches a velocity value of 47 in an existing region.

Once this controller value is reached, the assigned MIDI control knob will have an impact on instrument dynamics.

Velocity Controller (Relative): Dynamics are controlled by both incoming velocity data and by the value of the assigned MIDI controller, relative to any existing controller value.

For example, a MIDI control knob with a value of 15 will immediately impact dynamic behavior, relative to the existing velocity value.

Adjusting a knob with a value of 15 to a value of 18 will adjust an existing velocity value of 47 to a value of 50.

Legato Transitions checkbox: Turn on to enable legato transition samples for both monophonic and polyphonic modes, enhancing the realism of instruments played in a legato style.

Release Samples slider and field: Set the volume of release samples.

Release samples, as the name suggests, are triggered when you release a key.

These allow for a natural-sounding decay in sustained articulations, for example.

If a low release sample value is set the sound may cut off abruptly, which can sound unnatural.

Extended Key Range checkbox: Turn on to allow the instrument (or instruments in a section) to play beyond its normal key range.

This is the default, and should be used if you are aiming for authentic-sounding performances.

When on, the instrument uses the full keyboard range, allowing you to create parts that extend beyond the realistic range of the instrument (or instruments in a section).
