The Secret of Mastering SWAM Solo Strings

In this video, t 1 , one of the greatest SWAM Solo Strings players and composers illustrates how to play the virtual violin, viola, cello, and double bass! those virtual instruments are fully physically modeled and have great expressive power. But a great power... :) requires knowledge and control to reach the best sound result ever made with a virtual instrument. Enjoy!

Hey! this video reminded me of you. The music and video is your style! Are you an Endorser?

[@soppypopsy]

@@seulmusic Thanks for remembering me! I became an endorser a few months ago.

Excellent.

Thank you. This is an example of correcting pressure-induced instability. I'll explain it in more detail when I get a chance.

[@soppypopsy]

@@mr.hashundredsofprivatepla3711 Yes, I did. For one of the songs used in the video, I made it in v2 a few years ago. (I placed it far away as it is not suitable for background music...)

I migliori Virtual Instruments al Mondo. Senza dubbio. 🎩

Che super complimento! Grazie :-)

[@malzola347]

Awesome, hope we’ll see something like this for brass and woodwinds

[@davidviera3347]

EXTREMLY USEFUL AND INTUITIVE TUTORIAL FOR EVERYONE! Good work! I hope you do the same for the other instruments

[@fernandodavila8487]

Is there any way to listen to the background music at 9:00? I would love to listen to these!

[@AudioModeling]

Hi Fernando! Yes, we have published it to our channel last year. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmi5Z2dpmMuCa6M

I imagine a virtual singer with this wonderful technology.

[@soppypopsy]

Thanks for comments. I would like to see that field develop as well, as a way to improve input efficiency. Also looking for ways to make playing more enjoyable. My aim is "flexible, correctable, and rational performance input"!

[@encapsulatio]

@@soppypopsy Why's your English so good for someone "who doesn't speak English"?

[@soppypopsy]

@@encapsulatio I can read and write a little English, but my speaking is poor. Writings are done with the aid of translation tools, and I proofread it.

How to setup leapmotion for virtual bowing? I found that the midi software on leapmotion is not updated anymore.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

How does the ""Curve" work for External Controller in Solo Strings 3?! This "Bipolar" "Curve" looks nothing like what you are showing in this older video. How are we supposed to navigate this with a keyboard?

[@encapsulatio]

Why don't you guys release SWAM guitars? I want to buy SWAM guitars so badly especially classical and flamenco guitars..

[@AudioModeling]

Our roadmap is focused on expressive instruments, rather than plucked or struck instruments. Maybe, after that, one day we will develop also guitars :-)

[@encapsulatio]

@@AudioModeling Wow...so guitars are not expressive but violins are?...just wow.I guess it's more about what instruments you prefer and not what your customers want. Very nice policy, keep going.

[@AudioModeling]

@@encapsulatio guitars are expressive, of course. We call "expressive instruments" those that can sustain and shape a note after the initial input energy, i.e. those that do require Expression. It's not about "what instruments we prefer", it's about what our technology is more suitable for.

[@KStimu7us]

No, We Need FLUTES and WOODWINDS

[@ShaharHarshuv]

What about an actual person explaining this? ... it's really hard for me to understand this way

[@soppypopsy]

Sorry, I don't speak English, so I couldn't do it as well as the typical walkthrough videos. The most important thing is to incorporate bow changes. Just doing that will clearly broaden expressions.

[@ShaharHarshuv]
