Key Features
SWAM Trumpets is a selection of five virtually-modelled trumpet instruments, recreated through the proprietary SWAM-B physical modelling engine. Unmatched in versatility, realism and authenticity, SWAM Trumpets offers flexible control over virtually every aspect of your sound from articulation expression, timbre and even micro-tuning. Comprised of Flugelhorn, Flugelhorn (Eb), Trumpet (Bb), Trumpet (C) and Piccolo Trumpet models, each instrument delivers the same natural behaviour and response as the real instrument, making it the ultimate studio composition tool and live performance plugin.
Unlike sample-based libraries with static sounds, SWAM Trumpet's physical modelling engine allows you to adjust parameters and variables on the fly in real-time. Real-time physical properties can be adjusted such as the bell resonance and dispersion angle, dirtiness, breath noise and dynamic sensitivity. Several Play Modes offer a more humanised response, including the ability to add and customise a mute to your trumpet. The wide range of timbral adjustments works in tandem with the onboard FX section, comprised of EQ, compressor and reverb to customise your sound to perfection.
Comprehensive MIDI mapping and integration make SWAM Trumpet the ideal instrument for live performances. Supporting numerous MIDI message types as well as offering advanced velocity curve control ensures you can perform highly complex and dynamic pieces on the stage without compromising your performance.

Flexibility in the studio is vital in producing the best results for your session. SWAM Trumpets provides you with the ability to customise virtually every aspect of your sound to perfectly blend with your instruments and mix. Perfect for any mixing engineer, composer or producer, the proprietary SWAM-B modelling engine means you are not bound by the restrictions placed upon the sampled sound you are triggering. Instead, you can adjust the behaviour characteristics of your trumpet in the same way a musician could when recording the instrument for real.
Physical elements can be manipulated in real-time such as the pipe length, breath pressure and lip tension, ensuring all the dynamic expression is maintained in emotive performances. Several Play Modes are employed to give you control over the style of performance within your instrument. The Pipe Model can be changed from valves to slides with control over the speed as well as choosing between four different mute types for traditional jazz-style solos. Advanced features such as the bell resonance, bell dispersion angle, breath noise and even the size of the mute allow you to add the humanisation element needed for authentic sounds and performances. In-depth tuning parameters are employed to allow you to finely tune against the exact pitch of other instruments within your mix unlike the static pitch of sampled libraries, ensuring no sour notes are heard in your mix. Ensuring you can fit within the sound of your mix and style, a handy FX section is included with compressor, EQ and Reverb to customise your sound for your sessions and projects.
On-stage, SWAM Trumpets offers the most realistic brass instrument sound available on the market today. Comprehensive MIDI mapping ensures that no matter what controller type you use, SWAM Trumpets can map all message types from CC, Hi-Res CC, Aftertouch and more to your instrument. Additionally, SWAM Trumpets comes with a wide range of presets that are mapped to common controller types, offering a plug-and-play solution for most live performers. Advanced velocity curve control ensures that every note will have the exact expression you need to convey the emotion within your composition.
The beating heart of SWAM Trumpets is the new and improved SWAM-B audio engine technology. Utilising physical/behaviour modelling as well as multi-vector, phase-synchronous sample morphing; SWAM Trumpets delivers unparalleled authenticity with a natural and full-bodied sound – just like the real instrument. Meticulously replicating the physical and acoustic properties of a trumpet, SWAM has been able to create the most realistic-sounding virtual instrument on the market. From the studio to the stage, the SWAM-B engine provides endless sonic variation making it perfect for compositions and performances alike.
Using only a fraction of RAM occupancy, SWAM Trumpets can outperform even the most detailed sample libraries. Using only a mere 16MB of RAM per instrument instance, you can create highly complex and detailed compositions with several instrument layers without breaking a sweat. The immaculate modelling engine that delivers the small footprint is key in letting you dive into large projects which require several instances of the plugin. All of this power is packed into only a small download package and unlike gigabyte-sized sample libraries, will let you get up and running and composing in no time.
