SWAM is instrument modeling technology that uses both physical and behavioral modeling to create virtual instruments that both sound and respond to the players touch with amazing realism. SWAM 3 technology is now here, and Matt Vanacoro's new course "SWAM Audio Modeling Demystified" covers everything a player will need to know to make SWAM instruments come alive. Unlike sample instruments, which use static snapshots of notes from real instruments, SWAM instruments utilize advanced physical modeling technology that allows (and actually requires) the synthesist/producer/performer to continuously input musical expression via MIDI control -- the reward is amazingly realistic and very human musical performances, which can achieve a level of verisimilitude beyond most sample libraries. Matt's SWAM-Authorized course shows you everything you need to know about SWAM instruments. Live musicians are even brought in to show actual playing techniques needed to make the most of these highly expressive virtual instruments. Anyone interested in achieving a level of expression over and above the usual virtual instruments will want to check out this course on recreating orchestral realism with SWAM. https://www.macprovideo.com/video/swam-audio-modeling-demystified/1-introduction-to-swam?afid=E470KLQ7r9
