SWAM Cello delivers expressive and realistic cello sounds with real-time control via MIDI. Built on advanced physical modeling technology, it allows musicians to manipulate key mechanical elements like bow position dynamically, creating authentic tonal variations. This direct control enables users to shape performances naturally, whether through a MIDI controller knob or other compatible devices.

The latest version introduces enhanced MIDI mapping, supporting a wide range of control messages including CC, Hi-Res CC, After-Touch, and NRPN, along with customizable remapping curves. Improvements include realistic legato transitions, an updated pizzicato model, and refined bowed string behavior. The addition of timbral correction lets users emphasize or reduce specific harmonics, while real-time bow sensitivity control offers nuanced expression from soft strokes to strong bowing techniques.

SWAM Cello is available in multiple formats such as Standalone, Audio Units, VST, VST3, and AAX, and supports Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol integration. It runs on Windows 10 and macOS versions from Mavericks to Big Sur, including Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2. With a small installation size of 30 MB and low RAM usage, it requires modest CPU resources, making it accessible for a range of systems while maintaining high-quality sound and responsiveness.
