Here are the latest main enhancements released with SwarPlug
The Control Keys defined to navigate across multiple rows in Keymaps pane are now displayed in a button. When clicked, SwarPlug always returns to first row on key release.
Supports the new Expansion Pack 10 for Santoor. This new multi-layered, round-robin and multi-mics virtual instrument provides the most realistic emulation so far of the magnificent Indian dulcimer.
A special care has been put in reproducing the subtle and brilliant trills so characteristic of the instrument.
A new “Starting Pitch” knob lets you initiate notes with a fast pitch bending from up to 3 notes above or below, to simulate a common playing style. As with all parameters in SP, it can be limited to a specific playing style in Keymaps and can also be modulated using a MIDI CC.
You can now scroll through Keymaps rows using the modulation wheel instead of (or in conjuction with) predefined keys. Please note that if this is used, the MIDI CC generated by the mod wheel will be ignored from any modulation defined in the MODULATORS pane.
A “One Shot” button now lets you play notes/strokes without holding the key.
A new MICS pane has been added for voices samples using multiple mics. In this new pane, you can now fully customize the mix between mics.
We have improved the Instrument Browser to separate instruments from voices. You now first select an instrument, and then you see the voice(s) available for it.
For instruments with separate parts like drums, you now have the possibility to direct the pitch bending events to one and/or the other side.
In instruments having separate parts like drums, you can now adjust the gain difference of the alternate side of the drum, like Bayan for Tabla.
Expansion Pack 1 (EP01) now contains 6 drums (3 Tablas, a Dholak, a Pakhawaj and a Naal) with Round-Robin functionality. Toggle it on/off in the Keymaps pane.
We are renaming Multi-Layer (ML) Packs as Expansion Packs (EP) because our library currently also includes physically-modeled voices, and should be having hybrid ones in the near future.
Improved bowed strings voices (including possibility to turn Accent Use on/off for high velocities)
AAX plugin (Pro Tools) now also includes native Silicon binaries.
