Explore SWAM sounds by Audio Modeling: Available in NOISE

[@JIROYOSHIOKA]

Wow that Gershwin Clarinet solo was just mind blowing... I expected the orchestra to play.. I won't be able to distinguish if it was real or not if I closed my eyes.. Man that's unbelievable

[@bailahie4235]

The Gershwin opening tune was mind-blowing...! Amazing. Almost indistinguishable from a true clarinet solo (although during the last note, the tone resolution seemed too low (?) to get the slow vibrato sounding genuine). The best demo of the capability of seaboard I've heard.

[@crypiticfire]

Please release these packs for equator or blocks dashboard I don’t like being restricted to a mobile device.

[@Toxicflu]

This pair is excellent. The quality of SWAM really makes a beautiful pair with a Roli. The only challenge is playing chords - since the notes are narrower and shallower. But for playing monophonic lines with full expression, this can't be beat. Guess I'll have to get the full size RISE, but this little guy seems so compact it'll just sit on top of any keyboard, and fit in a laptop bag. :) Can you guys add the sample modeling Trumpet 3 and Trombone 3. It'll compliment so well the SWAM.

[@JoshuaLeBaka]

Geez, the Alto Sax demo shook me to the core. I'm totally invested now.

[@DoopDoopDoop995]

[@ManueldelaTorre]

Now THIS is a SWAM demo! Big improvement over that first sax demo. 🙌

[@prodbywinrich]

This i bought the Seaboard Block yesterday and SWAM Cello today. This is such a game changer that I can't even comprehend. It puts all other sample libraries to shame, it's just so good. Thank you for finally letting me express myself!

[@torley]

The Philip Glass "The Grid" homage @ 2:40 in is SO AWESOME!

[@yusefandrews6620]

Lol why did you guys use such a high octave to demo a “baritone” sax. You guys made it sound like an alto haha

[@stchest]

Also the baritone sax doesn't sound natural

[@Oscar-zx1eb]

This is WHAT I need. Especially the SWAM Woodwinds, since I play the clarinet and my brother plays the oboe. While I am terrible at playing my clarinet, I am able to play the piano, so this and the Seaboard (well, BLOCK) will be a perfect combo. Edit: I got my SWAMs and a Seaboard Block. ;) On an irrelevant subject, I have been seeing lots of comments on “What about Android?” stuff, which is targeting the NOISE app that only appears in Apple devices and the Google Pixel family. As much as I want ROLI to launch their Android version of NOISE (because I am an ANDROID USER too, so you guys can’t really do anything about it...), you guys should know that ROLI’s trying their best to give us one. There are tons of different Android phones from different brands, and since Apple’s software (which I don’t really know much about) is easier to work on, ROLI could only put NOISE on Apple...... for now.

[@WeAreROLI]

Really glad you liked it Oscar - good luck rocking that clarinet! And thanks for being understanding - we'd absolutely love to offer NOISE to more Android users, but unfortunately the audio quality required for NOISE just isn't possible on most Android devices (yet).

[@gazornaplatz8335]

I second what Danny says also, these packs need to be available on blocks dashboard and equator. I would buy them in a heartbeat.

[@kingslaphappy1533]

Nice demo, very expressive playing on these wonderful sounding Swam instruments that are so responsive to MPE control! Only odd thing to me was that you played some of the instruments in atypical ranges. For example, you played the baritone sax in the tenor and alto range and then you played the alto sax in the tenor/ bari range. It might have been nice to hear the oboe “sing” about an octave above where you played it, where it really stands out in many orchestral situations.

[@DrTenochtitlan]

Beautiful rendition from "The Mission" soundtrack at 3:43! Perfect song to show off that oboe.

[@lavaita9709]

And they said that synthesising a bassoon was impossible…

[@OupazasMedia]

Technically, It's not synthesized, It's sampled.

[@OupazasMedia]

​@Ralph Macchiato Ultimately yes. Our brain uses exterior tools to view the world around it. We are literally trapped in a space less than half a foot large. Now back to the original point. It's comparable to traditional vs digital art. Painting on canvas is great and all, but you can produce more or less the same result on a computer and drawing tablet. I'd argue that both can be appreciated equally and that they are all just tools to create. It is entirely up to the artist to decide what is good and efficient to use, and what is not (I'm looking at you, autotune).

[@LeFnob]

@@OupazasMedia It's actually not sampled! This one uses physical modeling synthesis.

[@Relaxicity]

@@OupazasMedia No it's not. It's physical modeling. Purely calculated. THere are no samples present in these algorithms. For good reasons: You could never reach this flexibility and purity with sample based synthesis.

@@michaelmoore1434 - Kind of. They made an Android app but it doesnt actually work. And after nearly 2 years they still havent made any updates. And these sound packs are most certainly not free. I dont mind paying the money, I just wish Roli would produce some tutorial videos on how to get everything connected and ready to play! They dont.

[@BartuFeridun]

Why are all these cool sounds go for the noise app ? Surely Roli is an amazing device and these sounds are awesome too but i slowly started to regret getting the full version of the equator for pc...

[@nathancraig4710]

Bartu Feridun I disagree without the full version of equator it wouldn’t be a tenth of what it is with it

[@BartuFeridun]

looking for the more "accoustic" sounds i could have bought the swam engine and packs seperatly rather than buying the full equator. I am not saying equator is bad , yes the full version makes it very flexible but it makes me sad that all these packs going out on the Noise rather than the more expensive and potential wise better Equator.

[@cwmbrancon]

Yes, I completely agree with this. I want to be able to work in Logic with these sounds. Seems crazy that they are only being released in noise!

[@andresfernandezhernandez1495]

😱 Wow!!!

[@casualintrovert207]

The quarter note resolution of note bends on the seaboard is painfully obvious here. And i'll keep pointing it out until ROLI adresses this and offers a truly continuous bend.

[@hectortruke.]

ROLI please add the trumpets pack.

[@theroadlesstraveled2720]

AWESOME

[@maximiliangockel]

So... ROLI is aware of the fact that many of their customers are Android and Windows users, but still they're making content only for a few? Why should I buy the full version of equator if I don't get the full content possible with my device? I was thinking of buying equator, but now...

[@cockur]

Don't bother with Equator. Roli haven't made any developments in there for years. All this cool SWAM stuff is only for iOS. Which is rubbish. If they gave a shit about customers who'd paid for premium products like Seaboard and Grand then there would be a desktop version of the Noise app or at least some sort of equivalent.

[@MaybeLoveHate]

SWAM isn't made by Roli. Equator is a synth. You can buy and use SWAM products on PC or Mac and use them with ROLI products. Although much more expensive

[@cockur]

I know this. SWAM are Kontakt instruments which isn't designed well for use with Roli products (legato switching etc..) But here we have a Roli collaboration with SWAM and Roli. And Roli have decided to make it exclusive to iOS and Blocks users. While those of us who have arguable paid more for products like Seaboard and Grand are unable to use them.

[@MaybeLoveHate]

They aren't Kontakt instruments. They are made by Audio Modelling and work in any DAW without Kontakt. And they have controllers built in specifically for Roli.

[@cockur]

OK fair enough they can be used standalone also. Doesn't explain why Blocks and iOS users are getting preference on these new Roli/SWAM collabs. Block users can gain some of the benefits of these for about €10 whereas I have to go buy the full plugin for hundreds more? Seems unfair

[@soulsynthesiscreations]

Equator! Please!?

[@pessivspenaldo]

Too bad they dropped support to the Noise app...

[@danaharden6283]

I’m a big fan but did I miss something? He only seem to be controlling the volume with the sax at the end. You could do that by mapping the upward finger slide to dynamics or expression. Here it’s map to flutter in one case. Hey Roli, why don’t you show off the Bassoon which is way more beautiful than that oboe. What can you do with the Oboe anyway? It’s great though, audio modeling is including some patches for this keyboard. I look forward to checking out The mapping because this is a marriage made in heaven.

[@M8opott8o]

[@tammy1001]

So can you actually do a single slide from lowest C to top B or won't it work over the connection point ?

[@hoangminhnguyen4800]

you can't slide over the connection point, if you need wide range slide then go for the rise 49
