Powerful and fast string sections

SWAM String Sections comprises four essential plugins - Violins, Violas, Cellos, and Double Basses.

Expressive Modeling: Harness the power of physical and behavioral modeling for limitless articulations and musical styles.

Creative Workflow: Experience an uninterrupted creative workflow. Play and control real-time parameters to achieve the perfect sound attack, evolution, and articulation, without the need to pause for searching and browsing a library.

Spatial Control: Take charge of room modeling and section placement, tailoring your desired sound and spatialization. With a Room simulator, you can choose the room absorption and size and move each section to any place, simulating the geometry of acoustic reflections.

Realistic Monophonic Section Programming: Capture the authenticity of a live orchestra by programming each monophonic section individually in your DAW, complete with their unique parameter evolution. Just as real orchestras have sections that play monophonically with different evolutions, SWAM String Sections allows you to replicate this realism in your compositions. Having each section monophonic is not a limitation; it's a plus, offering precise control and authenticity in your orchestral arrangements.

Seamless Communication: Plugins work together harmoniously, allowing seamless management of multiple sections without phase cancellation.

Orchestral Flexibility: Build your orchestra from small ensembles to grand symphonies. As you add more sections, they intelligently communicate, automatically placing themselves in the room with anti-phasing settings for exceptional sound quality.

Musical Freedom: Elevate your compositions with a new tool that offers unparalleled orchestral sound shaping possibilities.

Features

String Sections are powerful and fast! Without the need to search for articulations, they allow you to play directly and record your musical ideas.
Room simulation: Samples are recorded in a room that you can't change, but SWAM String Sections have a room acoustic geometry model that calculates the reflection depending on the absorption and room size. Have fun finding your orchestra sound.
Same known advantages as SWAM Solo Strings, thanks to physical modeling.

This can be considered the best string ensemble available right now. The learning curve is not low, but with time, you can achieve a more realistic sound than before. The *** is really quite ugly, but the beautiful sound makes up for the lack of visual appeal.

I don't believe there is a more expressively manipulable tool for ensemble strings on the market. The other side of this double-edged sword is that it will sound very artificial if you fail to put that expression into your tracks (whether via careful use of automation envelopes or your own real-time performance, or a combination of both). Basically, it's more work than a typical sample-based string library to get a great sound, but such flexibility means that you can get the nuances into the performance that YOU want, rather than being limited or creatively steered by the performances baked into the samples of a kontakt library. For me, this is perfect and brilliant, and I am yet to find anything better. As a past user of some of the 1.0 SWAM instruments (which I also loved), I was actually very surprised and impressed by the interface and its features, particularly the staging, where you can position each section\\instance within your chosen simulated room / acoustic space. All in all a great and powerful tool that I absolutely love. Just know what you're getting yourself into. Watch some demonstration\\tutorial videos on youtube which show and explain how you will need to control this instrument to get good results. It's not going to be for everyone, but for those of us who have been longing for a more flexibly expressive ensemble strings instrument and who are ** of being compositionally limited or influenced by the way samples were performed, this is (along with the solo instruments, not included here) the best thing out there that I know of.
