## What is SWAM Flute?

SWAM Flute for iOS: Unmatched Realism and Expressive Power in Your Hands!

Whether you play with a wind controller like the EWI, a keyboard, or any other MIDI device, SWAM Flute for iOS gives you unparalleled expressivity. Part of the acclaimed SWAM Solo Woodwinds, SWAM Solo Brass, SWAM Solo Strings, and SWAM String Sections suite, it is a must-have for musicians seeking the most realistic and responsive virtual instruments available. Now featuring the revolutionary Room Simulator "Ambiente", this cutting-edge Physical Modeling technology delivers the depth and nuance of a real woodwind performance—in real time.

Unlike sampled libraries, SWAM Flute doesn’t rely on pre-recorded sounds but generates authentic performances dynamically, responding to every subtlety of your playing, just like a real flute player.

New Features and Key Benefits
Room Simulator "Ambiente": Take advantage of advanced spatial control with the built-in Room Simulator "Ambiente", allowing you to position the instrument in a realistic acoustic space, interact dynamically with other SWAM instruments in the same virtual room, and create truly immersive performances. Additionally, the EQ and Compressor effects are available for fine-tuning your sound.

Standalone and AUv3 Plugin: Perform in real time or integrate SWAM Flute seamlessly into your mobile production workflow.

Intuitive, Inclusive Interface: Designed for everyone, including blind and visually impaired users.

Expressive Control: Play with unmatched expressivity using MPE controllers, keyboards, breath controllers, or other MIDI devices.

Top Features at a Glance
Access a library of presets, create your own, or import presets from the desktop version.
Customize every detail of your sound, including timbre, vibrato, and dynamics.
Micro-tune the instrument with the Pitch Manager, supporting devices like MAQAM for advanced tuning systems.
Add built-in effects like EQ and Compressor.
Play with different instrument models to explore a variety of tonal colors and expressive possibilities.
Use AUv3 to integrate with your mobile DAW (Logic, Cubasis, AUM) or apps like Camelot PRO for live performances.

Who is SWAM Flute for iOS Designed For?
Wind Controller Players: Looking for a mobile setup to perform live without needing a computer while still achieving an incredible sound.
Keyboard Players: Frustrated by the limited expressive capabilities of normal sample-based plugins? SWAM Flute unlocks the full range of expression.
Music Producers: Need a mobile setup to produce music from anywhere without carrying around expensive gear? SWAM Flute is the solution.
Musicians Seeking Expressivity: Looking for a virtual instrument that allows you to express the full range of your musicality easily on your iPhone or iPad.

IMPORTANT
To fully harness the expressive power of SWAM Flute, a controller capable of continuous expression (such as a breath controller, expression pedal, MPE device, or wind controller) is required. Just like a real flutist shapes their sound with breath and embouchure, SWAM Flute needs expressive input for maximum realism.

With SWAM Flute for iOS, you have the freedom to create lifelike woodwind performances on your iPhone or iPad. Redefine your music with unparalleled realism and expressive depth—anytime, anywhere.

### 4/5 — Does Not work in Nano Studio 2

*2022-10-06*

Unfortunate as that is my DAW of choice. This is the only AUv3 that doesn’t work in NS2.

edit: Does now work with NS2

**Developer response:** The fix was provided with version 3.0.1 a few weeks after 3.0.0

### 4/5 — C4组的E有问题

*2022-08-06*

C4组的E在expression值为0.50以下时，只有气声。其他音发音正常。

### 1/5 — Won’t offline render in GarageBand

*2021-10-28*

Sounds great but when bouncing a project in GarageBand the SWAM instruments generate no sound.

Not likely to get fixed soon because of 

a)  awareness 
b) a fix would be required for all the individual plugins in the collection.

So if you are primarily a GarageBand user….Probably stay away from these — as beautiful as they sound.

**Developer response:** The fix was provided with version 3.0.1, a few weeks after 3.0.0
