ABOUT THIS VIDEO
At the end of a long day at NAMM 2024, a very enthusiastic Doctor Mix swept me away to an Audio Modeling demo by Stefano Lucato (Founder/CEO). Emanuele Parravicini(Founder/ CTO) and Simone Capitani (Partner CXO). I was immediately re-energized when I heard the quality and expression level of sounds coming from the latest Audio Modeling software. I've been fighting orchestral samples in terms of latency, separate articulations, performance expression, etc...for decades. This software is light on the CPU, performs great and sounds very close to the real thing,
They are now offering a new feature, variable spacial placements in the room for all the instruments in each section of the orchestra. This feature adds a lot of dimension to the finished orchestra sound. I kept being more and more impressed in this video. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Based on Audio Modeling’s exclusive modeling technology, SWAM String Sections is a truly innovative suite of four plug-ins, corresponding to the orchestra sections Violins, Violas, Cellos, and Double Basses, . They are capable of emulating orchestras of various sizes, from small chamber ensembles to large symphonic groups. SWAM technology provides instant access to natural orchestral articulations, and sections can be placed together in a virtual room to achieve authentic, blended acoustics. With real-time control over staccato, legato, expression, and more, it represents a revolution in orchestral arrangement and composition, allowing for seamless transitions between different styles and articulations without disrupting the creative flow.

ABOUT ANTHONY
Anthony's musical touch as both composer and performer is connected with some of the most influential creative minds over the last 40 years. He’s composed and conducted original orchestral scores for over 80 feature films including Young Guns , Internal Affairs , The Man From Elysian Fields , 15 Minutes and Planes, Trains & Automobiles , been commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic for his symphonic work "In the Family Way", written over one thousand TV commercials in a myriad of musical styles, co-founded Levels Audio Post (LA's premiere post production facility) and performed and arranged on big-box-office films and influential hit records such as Michael Jackson's Thriller .
His extensive work as a young arranger, orchestrator and performer for Quincy Jones , Jack Nitzsche , Lamont Dozier , Arthur Rubenstein and Giorgio Moroder was vital in launching his own career. His early years pioneering modular analog synthesizers along with his wide-ranging music scholarship positioned Anthony at the center of the music technology revolution. He attended the University of Southern California School of Music as a piano and composition major.

This is... JAW DROPPING.... It's incredible how accurate modeling has become over the past decade. If I closed my eyes, I would absolutely not believe that this was coming from software...... It literally sounds "more realistic" than any solo Orchestral piece, if that makes sense. Blown away... Thanks for the upload Anthony!

[@azynkron]

It's not only the coding and sound analysis. The computational power that is needed for the real time algorithms wasn't available only like 10 years ago. Not on this scale anyway. And it will only get better as more and more is moved over to the GPU (which is exponentially better at this than the the CPU). But it is impressive.

[@GlennBroadway]

Anthony is one of the kindest people on KZbin. What an amazing demonstration.

[@heathwellsNZ]

I agree. There's one thing to be kind as a person in general... but he's also kind with his skills and his knowledge with a genuine passion to pass that on. There's so many people that want to be somewhat possessive of knowledge and not want to share so they can continually be looked upon as some mystical wizard. Natural teachers are fantastic human beings indeed and Anthony is definitely a natural teacher!

[@baddriddimworkshop]

And i love his message to the world, and despite who he is he seems so accessable too, and he brought us back to when we were kids in the 80's. And tbh, i think i got my synclavier regen because of those two last years spending time great learning things and history with antony. IMOAnthony marinelli along with doctor mix and alex ball, are really the best audio channels online, and whena nthony and claudio are together it gets epic...

[@Rondo2ooo]

I'm not sure if those who are not in the details understand how crazy it is to get such a realistic sound just from synthesis generated sound models. It's light-years from everything before, and this, it really sounds authentic.

[@brianfileman]

Brilliantly modelled instruments. A musician friend of mine played some amazing orchestral and instrument sounds on his album last year (or earlier). I asked what plug-in samples he’d used. SWAM. I looked it up. Way out my budget range as an amateur on a fixed income (basic state pension), but if I ever get a windfall….

[@MERLIMARTISTICPRODUTIONS]

fantastic. This is the NEXT THING, THE REALISTIC INSTRUMENTS i was waiting for years

[@andre.schwantes]

It's great to watch videos with Anthony and Claudio together!

[@regiopazzo]

Man you’re so right!

[@djsdontdance]

2 legends in 1 room ❤️❤️

[@danielm5838]

This must have been what it felt like to hear the Fairlight for the first time. Didn't think I'd see a next generation of synthesis design like this with such unexpected results. Crazy

[@briankehew579]

Even better. The Fairlight was ok but still like a single photograph repeating over and over. SWAM is a monster when played well.

[@markmallinder7618]

I’m not sure whether people appreciate just how game changing this is. Not depending on samples should eliminate the need for massive libraries and multiple terabyte external drives and massive RAM resources. I’ve been waiting for this. It’s been a long time coming but I’m so excited that it’s finally here, and it sounds amazing! 😀

[@tjordulf]

I do, I watched that with my chin on the floor. Simply stunning dynamics and human expressiveness!! Wow.

[@oldnoobwithhighendpc9725]

2:28 " i love flute for this reason" window of vst moves around like magic 🙂

[@ilio_official]

Another fantastic video from the dynamic duo, Doctor Mix and Anthony Marinelli! The trumpet finale was a standout moment. Thanks for showcasing SWAM instruments so brilliantly! 🙌

[@chillpillology]

as an old schooler this is completely bonkers insane virtual synthesis. wow. gotta check my budget

[@thebitchdigital]

34:15 the smile. that joy is infectious. love watching Anthony play.

[@tomfay5484]

Never thought this would ever be possible! Can't imagine how the strings for instance are not multi-gig in size! Would have like the demo to have a little less reverb. And is there possible polyphony? chords? otherwise fantastic! Gotta have this!

[@ChrisMills-AmbientSpace]

I absolutely adore the Swam French Horns. You can build parts with huge personality.

[@bahadirhankocer]

Having been a long-time user of SWAM, witnessing the core team, alongside Claudio and you, gave me goosebumps. This is truly a gem!

[@pshimmons]

Anthony’s voice and demeanor make me think that he is the Mr. Rogers of the music world!!! Loved this whole video. Such a wonderful collection of people and technology!!!

[@JeffPalmer83]

💯

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

That is a huge compliment, and I agree completely.

[@neocollective5959]

Haha...I always thought of him like the Bob Ross of music/synths. " we can add a little happy oscillator over here..."

[@Wilmer778]

That's INCREDIBLE!! :O Never thought something like this would be possible one day. Good news for Hans Zimmer, haha.

[@carl_47]

Amazing. I love physical modeling since a try pianotec.

[@RudieVissenberg]

I am such a fan of Pianoteq. The subtleties and responsiveness to articulation is incredible. All the different pianomodels they have is just incredible. I also own Swam solo strings and still learning. Much harder to use than Pianoteq.

[@Mopantsu]

Amazing technology, but as always, it is the musician/composer that allows the magic to happen.

[@nicolamaisano4891]

Bravi ragazzi!

[@jeremy8936]

You could bring about world peace with the passion for music you all have! All the love, all the power to you..

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

That was some deep conversation. Loved it. I was glued to the screen.

[@user-uq5qw1fk3d]

It's amazing to see how far physical modeling has come in recent years. The sounds and expression from these plugins are game-changing. Great demonstrations and questions!

[@morphoice]

The vibe of you guys geeking out together is just as intoxicating as the synthesis! Made my day!

[@Esperluet]

Nobel Price for peace for those genius guys. Unbelievable.

[@DJOZER5]

Légende!👀🎹💯🔥❤️‍🔥🇫🇷🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@CampbellDownie]

wow, just wow !!!!!!!!!

[@briancase6180]

Wow, I was unaware of these guys. My favorite piano is Modartt pianoteq; physical modeling is here for the rest of the symphony. I must start saving my pennies.... Thanks! I do, however, think the instruments sound best in solo. Maybe it's just because the combined piece overwhelmed the video mic?

[@MrJazz-yp9wg]

I'm speechless...jaw dropping...1000% AMAZING...WAY OUT OF THIS WORLD hands down! I have no words. I'm in awe.

[@swanebrokendeep]

Juste incredible! Amazing job! Congratulations Audio modeling!

[@boxfishing]

Mind blowing sound modeling. The winds made me laugh hard out of sheer amazement. I swear you can hear the player “breathing” into the flute. As always, lots of positive energy. Keep it up! May I suggest a follow up video with tighter examples of string expression and room modeling?

[@ischmidt]

Claudio's been blowing my mind with these Audio Modeling instruments for a while, but it was really great to hear someone who's done actual scoring get their hands on it.

[@dmcgwhisper5945]

Wow!

[@mathumphreys]

Damn these guys are on it!! I can't believe this is synthesized. I'd love to get my hands on that reverb.

[@luigizaccheo]

Yeeeees! Hi Antony, Swam are my favorite virtual acoustic musical instruments! congratulations for everything you have done and what do you do

[@saxmanvince4319]

Wow. Very impressive. 😊 But, we musicians are in trouble. 😮

[@charlesjackson2512]

Beautiful demonstration. Is this plugin available yet?

[@ubarhd1]

Another generation of next step synthesis…wow what a magnificent invention….bravo …👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Des Sonorités avec une expression incroyable qui rend ces Sonorités incroyablement réalistes🎹👍. De formidables progrès depuis toutes ces années.

[@topsymusic3733]

Really great, guys, watching you interacting !🙏

[@kyriakospatmos6176]

Super 🎶🎵🎹🎼🎻👏👍🏻

[@coryndavies]

Wow , fantastic vibes , with you guys , sparkling wine, I’m sure it will be Devine , keep it up , it’s precious,

[@Projacked1]

I'm so proud of the current innovations....mind = blown!

[@franklp2183]

Amazing technology! Allowing the performer to be so expressive... VERY COOL!!

[@peterhanzo8230]

I wasn't breathing at the end, beauty 🎺

[@odesaman1]

🔥🔥🔥

[@rarianfields]

These things deserve more attention. Great vid!

[@johnny14794]

Bravisimo! You guys together are the dream team of music. Thanks Anthony !

[@MoxieSynth-pu4py]

Great Technology!!! Wow no words to praise!!!

[@domenicocaruso2153]

Just... Wow! Greetings from Italy :)

[@oliverpinelli3334]

100% WOW!!!!

[@gitzah]

Goodness, is this for real? What great sounds and demo playing! Certainly shifts gears for writing great tunes. Thanks for this great video!

[@manuel_salazar_work]

It feels like this is a big step in synthesis. It feels like back in the 90's when digital synthesisers and samplers kind of killed the analog synthesiser industry. Feels like physical modelling has gotten so good that it might just takeover from sampled libraries.

[@mcramp20]

Absolutely amazing!!! Wow😅

[@Andronacus]

That. Was amazing. Thanks guys

[@Ziiro406]

Fantastic video. Makes me want to make music again!

[@andreaperelli5323]

everything sounds amazing, great job

[@branisulek3628]

This is unbelievable, guys! Fantastic!!! 👏🏻

[@jimlemons9231]

Such awesome sounds and great to hear the thoughts behind how it all works. Excellent stuff.

[@abregegere]

This is just incredible 😮The nuances and quality of articulation are stunning.

[@HowardBaileyMusic]

Nice patches...also a super musician.

[@sandupetre363]

Amazing plugins, thank you for all the valuable information shared in this video.

[@junevortexmusic7950]

I love watching these two legends .. is inspiring to me seem like good people

[@DynamicRockers]

Best duo of the youtube music game! Those instruments are incredible, for slow, simple, pop string arrangements that must be way more convincing than sample libraries.

[@CrankyOldNerd]

WOw, what an amazing thing to hear. I bet it was 200x better in the room with real speakers vs youtube compressed but even via that it sounded wonderful. That demo piece was a lot of fun too.

[@CrankyOldNerd]

oh heck, this star trek nerd just got to that part and NOW i must purchase it lol

[@SimonRichardson-ow7rx]

Important stuff! Thanks for this being accessible

[@pareshmota]

Super, extraordinary 👌

[@gforce7four]

Incredible nuance and immediacy. Thanks Anthony!

[@TheMixClub]

Incredible! Im Speechless.

[@rosalindwebb7729]

Wonderful you both are good with music together so impressed.❤

[@garyclement5527]

Awesome- can’t get no more real than that. The expression is incredible. This replaces the entire Orchestra and will put people out of work.

[@lorenzosolerfuentes8209]

Woooow. This is an excellent work of research on the physics behind of orchestral instruments. They already blow my mind with Camelot. Swam is massive.

[@PabloRodriguezwhyCharlieWhy]

I'm happy to see... God-Priest Purists Analog Synth gurus, seen what software can do... it gives you that as technologic evolves you end with good tools to keep the creation on a blist of joy!!! I'm happy to see their reactions!!

[@paul.poulissen]

🎺 🎶 ♥ Really amazing!

[@thomaslthomas1506]

Awesome !

[@mar-zgarcia429]

That was pretty amazing stuff . Great video Anthony thank you

[@SynthgodXXX]

Just... wow. Thank you for this share.

[@Alexholbert]

Amazing!

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Wow, this is amazing. Got to make music again soon. Thank you for your passion.

[@giorgioricci]

Grande Stefano Capitani. La prossima volta vorrei sentirti parlare in napoletano. In inglese la vedo dura!

[@chillpillology]

anthony, man, give those guys a backing track! sounds like 90s corporate presentation music

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

yet another awesome video.

[@ALFA8902]
