Realistic, expressive, real time playable Virtual Saxophones?
Yes, like all previous, but exploiting a different technology on a proprietary platform, the SWAM Engine. The acronym stands for Synchronous Wavelength Acoustic Modeling, developed by Stefano Lucato. The Saxophones use samples as a base material, chromatically performed by a professional player over a very wide dynamic range, and recorded with state-of-the-art technology. The resulting timbre is therefore that of the real instrument. But the analogy with a sample based library ends here. The underlying, proprietary technology allows continuous interpolation among different vectors like time, dynamics, pitch and formants. Advanced real time processing techniques yield realistic legato/portamento, vibrato, overblow, ornamentations & trills with phase continuity, constant-formant pitchbends, subharmonics, growl and flutter tongue to be performed in real time.
alooha 🙂 is there any chance to make the download link active? thanks
link has been update
This isn’t working. I follow the instructions, using the R2R system as you do, but, when I open the plugin, I get a message on the activation popup saying that I have to go to the manufacturer’s website to activate. I got back online and tried going to the site just to see, but it’s not an activation page anymore and requires a login. I know it seems to be an old post, but I’d love to see it functional again.
