Amazing Swing and Big Band Sound!
From classic ragtime and slack-tuned island swing to Latin jazz, ProjectSAM's Swing! virtual instrument delivers the tools you need to craft the perfect vibe. While the solo and lead instruments are impressive enough, Sweetwater composers really dig the ensembles, grooves, and chord patches, which let you lay down full-sounding musical foundations quickly. At the same time, expressive articulations such as legato voices and velocity-triggered punctuation such as marcato accents, falls, and doits let you add realistic expression to your music. Whether you're writing a looming big band anthem or a light piece of '40s pop, you're going to love Swing!

One of the major benefits of building Swing! around Native Instruments' Kontakt Player is that this powerful sample player provides an extended range of depth and expression for rhythmical elements such as strumming patterns, among other things. Suffice it to say that it can be extremely difficult to emulate the natural strumming sound of a guitar with just a keyboard and a simple sample player, but with scripting to provide string-by-string sample triggering and manage up and down strokes, you get a far more natural sound. What's more, Kontakt integration means Swing! will show up with the rest of your Native Kontrol Standard instruments.
