The (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) is a digital synthesis technology developed by Audio Modeling that creates highly expressive virtual acoustic instruments. Unlike traditional VSTs that play back pre-recorded recordings (sampling), SWAM uses physical and behavioral modeling to calculate the sound in real-time. This allows for fluid, continuous control over parameters like bow pressure, breath intensity, and vibrato, which would typically sound "steppy" or artificial with sampled libraries.

The engine is split into specialized sub-engines tailored to the physics of different instrument families: KVR Forum: Sample Modeling vs Audio Modeling strings? swam-engine-instruments-vst
