This is now the best solo violin I've heard so far. That says something considering anyone who knows sample libraries well enough, knows that getting the solo violin right is the hardest instrument.
Reallly pleased to see the donkey Kong country music played here! funny enough it’s one of the songs which came to mind when I first tried these apps 😆
Curious if they made it so you could really slow down vibrato rate. In v1 when I'm working at 130 bpm (for example) I find that I can't get a very slow relaxed vibrato, and if I lower the tempo of my DAW down to 40 bpm I can get it closer to what I want; its pretty close but still too fast and would be out of time with what I'm playing, so I'm stuck keeping it rapid even for what I want to be less frantic sounding. I'm a guitarist, so I'm used to being able to base vibrato on tempo and also as a guitarist I think of guitar vibrato like a singer's vibrato, so always having the vibrato be so rapid isn't the sound I hear in my head.
sounds great Cameron,however,every manner of creating a realistic instrument has its pro and cons,sample libraries use up lots of RAM,and physically modelled ones use a lot of processor power,how many instances can you create before your computer begins to glitch? when would you have to bounce to audio before your computer freezes? i have a AMD ryzen 7 with 64Gb of RAM
That is tantamount to stating that table saws are ok... But the table requires a lot more space than a circular saw. The user is responsible for researching some general topics such a physically modelled instruments prior to purchasing. Developers shouldn't have to slap up warnings to research tools prior to purchase.
The Seaboard is a good option, but not absolutely necessary when you use a MIDI keyboard with an expression pedal and mod wheel. Using a breath controller is another way to go. Lot's of possibilities.
@@ilio_official As far as I am aware, there is no keyboard where you can adjust your sound like a guitar, or a saxaphone or cello? Why take your hands off the keyboard?
It's a shame, seems they don't support Linux where I prefer my music development (even though it's not a huge task for them to add that given it's just a VST plugin on the frontend side). Guess I'll keep shopping for a different suite of products
Here's a step-by-step guide by Nicolas Abello on how to use SWAM VSTi on Linux through WINE: kb.audiomodeling.com/en/c/compatibility/d/can-i-run-swam-instruments-on-linux/
Nice question! Have you tried modifying your Velocity? Velocity usually controls attack, so we would first look to adjust there. But if you still need to modify the attack more than what velocity alone will give, then we suggest adjusting bow position, bow pressure, and bow pressure accent. Also, please contact us with any questions, our tech support is really good at walking you through step by step on our to get the sound you want: contact@ilio.com
As in the real instrument, SWAM Strings V3 allows two simultaneous notes to be performed, but they always lay on two adjacent strings. You can use this feature by enabling "Bow Polyphony." Don't hesitate to reach out to our team for any questions or in-depth assistance by phone or email at www.ilio.com/contact.
@@ilio_official Oh yeah I should mention that I have perfect pitch haha, that's why it reminded me instantly of it. But that would be awesome! I feel like with all these solo string libraries, the main thing that would convince me to get one over another would be renditions of actual pieces in the classical repertoire
