Available as an electronic download, SWAM Cello V3 Virtual Instrument Plug-In Upgrade Downloadis a virtual instrument plug-in designed to give you the sound of a realistic cello in your music productions and compositions. This cello doesn't relie on samples to deliver AN expressive and convincingly realistic virtual cello sounds, but uses physical modeling technology instead. Thus, you can have all the versatility of a cello sound for your solo, orchestral, and chamber arrangements, while experincing only a negliable load on your system resources.

SWAM Cello V3 offers extensive real-time parameters such as bow pressure, bow position, harmonics, and dynamic transitions, which can be adjusted via external MIDI controllers, or within your DAW. The software also features a built-in mixer with reverb and pan controls for enhancing the sound. SWAM Cello 3 is compatible with macOS and Windows systems and supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.

The following features are new in Version 3:

• Standalone version, introduced VST3 plug-in format, and Native Instruments NKS compatibility
• Powerful MIDI Mapping feature that supports CC, Hi-Res CC, After-Touch NRPN, and remapping curves that allow more customization and sensitivity to any controller
• Realistic Legatos
• New Pizzicato Model
• General Sound improvement and behavior of bowed string
• Timbral Correction: You’ll be able to select up to two harmonics to adjust (for emphasis or reduction)
• Real-time bow Sensitivity Control (on bowing mode), giving you the ability to transform the bow, from a short bow with soft strokes to a full-length bow with strong strokes

SWAM Cello V3 is not a simple recording of notes triggered via sample libraries. It's a virtual cello, digitally modeled to sound real. While a sample library repeats a prerecorded sound, SWAM instruments play for real.

Control the expression of your virtual acoustic instruments, break the limitations of traditional samplers, and benefit from the organic consistency resulting from the endless expressive parameters that are unique to every live performance.

SWAM Cello is a realistic, real-time controllable, and expressive virtual cello. SWAM technology guarantees the same natural reactions as real instruments, letting you compose orchestral pieces or concertos utilizing powerful instruments with natural, fluid expression.

SWAM Cello is an instrument based on physical modeling, making it possible to control the main mechanical variables in real time. For example, the velocity can control the attack of the sound and the portamento time when playing legato. The modulation wheel can control the vibrato and any foot pedal can be assigned to the expression. There is indeed no limit to the number of possible combinations.

SWAM Technology overcomes the limitations that are typical of traditional samplers through a combination of innovative performance techniques and concepts of physical and behavioral modeling, with no samples required.

Choose SWAM Cello for composing, producing, or performing any musical genre by layering it in sections with no artifacts and simply selecting different timbres for each instance.

Control the following parameters in real time via MIDI controllers or your DAW:

• Expression (dynamic)
• Note transitions (staccato/legato/portamento) with no key switches
• Bow pressure
• Bow position
• Play mode (bowed, pizzicato, or col legno)
• Mono vs double polyphony
• Vibrato depth
• Vibrato rate
• Tremolo on/off
• Tremolo speed
• Harmonics
• Portamento time
• Portamento split point (across strings)
• Attack speed
• Dynamic transitions
• Sordino on/off
• String preferred selection
• Alternate fingering
• Bow lift and bow start (up/down)
• Sustain
• Microtuning
• Main volume
• Pan pot
• Reverb mix

Q: 1. Can I used this with a BMCC 4K for video?

A: Yes, the Edelkrone FlexTILT Head v3 will support the BMCC 4K as long as the payload with the lens is under 5.5 pounds. The BMCC 4K weighs 1.59 pounds, so as long as the added lens is under 3.91 pounds, there will be no issue using the Edelkrone FlexTILT Head v3.

Q: 2. Will this work on a sony a6000?

A: Yes, that will work on a Sony a6000.

Q: 3. What is the difference between vs 2 and vs 3?

A: Edelkrone claims V3 is easier to adjust, so much so that only one hand is needed. The other difference, this has a cheaper list price. However, that was negated by retail pricing. The final difference, the V2 is no longer made so the V3 is what is available.

Q: 4. can this be used in place of the steady module if I want to also do manual slides?

A: From the Overview; " Slide Module v3 also allows you to manually adjust the positions and program the motions of your SliderPLUS (and optional HeadPLUS) by hand."

Q: 5. Can this be powered from a 14.4 Anton bauer battery via the Powertap to LP-E6 adaptor? I use this for Small HD monitors, my camera. It has bigger capacity and less changing batt during long time lapse or sliding shots. I want things to be centralized from a 14.4 slim broadcast battery. What is the amp draw at 9v for this Slide Module v3?

A: Yes you can use a P-tap to LP-E6 adapter to power the Slide module from your Anton Bauer Batteries. it draws 2.2 Amps.

Q: 6. Is it possible to place the capture plate on the lens mount of a 70-200 2.8 for a better balance when using a 5dmkiv and battery grip?

A: Sure can, many folks utilize the lens mount for having the attachment point there rather then both attachment points on the camera body. All about personal preference!
