Description :
SWAM Solo Strings Bundle was developed by Audio Modeling using SWAM (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) technology:
a combination of innovative performance technologies and physical and behavioral modeling concepts.
It doesn’t include any samples and is extremely lightweight.

Characteristics :
Powerful MIDI Mapping, supporting CC, Hi-Res CC, After-Touch NRPN and remapping curves, allows for more precise tuning and responsiveness of any controller.
Realistic legato.
New pizzicato model.
General improvement in the sound and behavior of the bowed string.
Tone correction function. You can select up to two harmonics to adjust (emphasize or reduce).
Standalone version, VST3 plugin format provided and compatible with Native Instruments NKS.
Adjust bow sensitivity in real time (in bow mode). This makes it possible to transform the bow: from a short bow with soft strokes to a full-length bow with strong strokes.
