Does What Sample-based Instruments Can't
Powered by the SWAM physical modeling engine, Audio Modeling SWAM Trombones is one of the most expressive, realistic orchestral virtual instruments on the planet. This software includes five instruments: double bass trombone, bass trombone, tenor bass trombone, tenor trombone, and alto trombone. SWAM Trombones permits you to control real-world articulations, such as pipe length, breath pressure, and lip tension in real-time, while independent slide control yields both soft and overtone-rich glissandos. Audio Modeling packed this VI with robust MIDI mapping capabilities and customizable options, allowing you to create sounds and performances that are uniquely your own. What's more, SWAM Trombones boasts all-encompassing platform support, minimal data storage requirements, and an ultra-light CPU load. SWAM Trombones does what traditional sample-based software instruments can't — it plays it for real.

Expressive real-time playability
We're blown away by SWAM Trombones here at Sweetwater — its expressive real-time playability is second to none.

SWAM Trombones gives you control over dynamic expression, staccato/legato/portamento note transitions, vibrato depth and rate, portamento time, growl, flutter tongue, formant, breath noise, dirtiness, sustain, mute control, attack noise, attack tongue, reactivity, pipe gesture, half valve amount, valve and slide position, dynamic pitch, micro-tuning, main volume, pan pot, and reverb mix.
