## What is SWAM Trumpet?

SWAM Trumpet 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 Trumpet for iOS gives you unparalleled expressivity. Part of the acclaimed SWAM Solo Brass, SWAM Solo Woodwinds, 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 brass performance—in real time.

Unlike sampled libraries, SWAM Trumpet doesn’t rely on pre-recorded sounds but generates authentic performances dynamically, responding to every subtlety of your playing, just like a real trumpet 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 Trumpet 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 modeled mutes to explore different 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 Trumpet 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.

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 Trumpet, a controller capable of continuous expression (such as a breath controller, expression pedal, MPE device, or wind controller) is required. Just like a trumpet player shapes their sound with breath and embouchure, SWAM Trumpet needs expressive input for maximum realism.

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

### 4/5 — Trumpet model selection gone?

*2026-01-18*

I don’t know if I’m going crazy but I only see the mute selector. Selecting the model of trumpet seems to have disappeared??

### 5/5 — Top for sound and playability

*2024-10-26*

This app sounds most like a trumpet, and 'plays' most like it too. It is actually fun to play.

### 5/5 — Tolle Instrumente

*2024-10-08*

Nach ein paar Problemen unter IOS 18 und der AUV3s-Schnittstelle, die der Support gelöst hat, bin ich sehr zufrieden mit den Instrumenten. Vor allem die Blasinstrumente haben es mir angetan.

### 1/5 — Update 3.7.4 has broken my projects

*2024-09-30*

I recently bought the swam big band bundle, however the new update 3.7.4 has rendered my current in progress projects unloadable in Logic Pro.  Hours of work gone.   

Starting a new Logic Pro project and loading swam trumpet gives an error, Failed to load Audio Unit “Swam trumpe” (sic).

### 5/5 — Crashing in Logic Pro for iPad

*2024-09-27*

The latest update is crashing in LPiP. It’s probably not the developer’s fault but could someone from your team work with the Apple Team for them to fix their issues with Logic Pro for iPad. It would really help our creative community a lot. They need help over there lol.

### 1/5 — Doesn't give warnings

*2023-08-17*

Apparently I bought something that this app did not giv me an option sobi spent over $21 on something that I never knew I bought I didn't have $21 to spend on some stupid app that I deleted less than 15 minutes after I got it

### 1/5 — Good app but needs a lot of work

*2023-05-27*

The app doesn’t respond very well to the midi control. When I press a key on the midi it takes a few seconds to respond. I already tried resetting the settings but it didn’t help. I would really want my money back, but hopefully this crap gets fixed.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-05-15*

Love the app - sound is great. The only thing that I would like to see is a better “fall”. It is very short - would prefer a longer tail, or better yet the ability to make the fall as long/short is I would like (if it’s already there then my bad!). But overall it’s great!

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2022-09-19*

A bit pricey but considering the qualities….
Not so much.
I really love this app that I’m mixing in AUM with my nylon guitar and an expression pedal.
My next will be cello… 
Thanks Swam team for being so clever, smart, creative.

### 5/5 — Possibly the most authentic brass sound I’ve heard.

*2021-12-16*

SWAM Trumpet I obtained after using some others.  Just out of sheer curiosity I added some ‘vintage’ FX to one track with this Audio Unit.  This consisted of a ‘vintage’ amp simulator and a crackly recorded track run in parallel as the song plays.  After gaining some small amount of skill with the expression parameter sliders on-screen, you can play the solo trumpet with one hand while adjusting slightly the expression with the other.  I think you can even ‘add in’ that expression later in an ‘over-dubbing’ of the same MIDI track, but I have not tried that.  I have found the persuasiveness of this Trumpet, is extraordinary.  Striking and stunning, is my overall assessment.
