Built for Expressive Control Audio Modeling is known for physical modeling instruments that respond like playable instruments, not static samples.
Their SWAM technology gives musicians real-time control over expression, phrasing, articulation, and performance detail, making it possible to shape a part as it is played rather than edit every detail after the fact. With this upcoming release, Audio Modeling will present a new direction for expressive virtual instrument performance. The session will focus on live playing, musical response, and practical use for performers, composers, producers, educators, and music technology professionals.
