Audio Modeling have announced the availability of the PolySWAM public beta. Report any bugs and issues – your feedback is important.
Audio Modeling’s SWAM engine set the standard for ultra-realistic solo instruments through real-time physical modeling rather than static samples. Now, Audio Modeling is breaking its long-standing monophonic rule with PolySWAM—a new instrument designed to bring expressiveness and organic realism to polyphonic arrangements, orchestral sketching, and live performance.
Developed in collaboration with Latin GRAMMY-winning producer Emanuele Ruffinengo, PolySWAM ditches heavy sample libraries. Instead of triggering fixed audio files, it continuously calculates physical acoustic behavior and assigns voices to virtual ensemble players on the fly. Its smart algorithms dynamically shape transitions like legato, staccato, and portamento, delivering a plug-and-play acoustic arsenal for studio scoring or stage performance.
Features include:
- Expressive Polyphony: Applies Audio Modeling’s signature SWAM physical modeling engine to polyphonic playing and multi-voice arrangements.
- Real-Time Synthesis (No Samplers): Eliminates static sample triggering in favor of dynamic real-time physical calculations.
- Proprietary Voice-Allocation Algorithms: Automatically routes notes to individual virtual players while managing dynamic legato, staccato, and smooth portamentos.
- Plug & Play Workflow: Pre-configured acoustic articulations mean no tedious key-switches, routing, or complex layout configurations.
- Versatile Preset Library: Includes presets ranging from intimate chamber strings to symphonic layers, brass sections, and cinematic hybrid stacks.
- Co-Developed with Industry Experts: Built in partnership with Latin GRAMMY-winning producer and arranger Emanuele Ruffinengo.
PolySWAM is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
