Expression maps for SWAM wind?

Dorico
1

Has anyone found any? I think audio modeling said with v3 of their SWAM they were going to do some for Dorico but I’ve not found any. Have written to them to see. Failing that will try and write some when time allows!

One person here on the forum who uses the SWAM instruments a lot, if I’m not mistaken, is @Major81, who perhaps might have some to share?

You are right. But the XM for wind instruments are very limited compared to the strings. And they really don’t work for Jazz.

I’m currently on vacation. But if I share a Dorico project it should include the expression map as well as the settings of the SWAM instruments, right?

I once had a zoom call with the CTO Lele and Andrea of Audio Modeling about my expression maps, since they wanted to build their own. But I don’t know if they are still working on that. It really has been a while.

Here is a project with an XM for SWAM instruments. They work best with Vienna Ensemble pro, where I build sections out of small sections. But that is more for the strings.

I don’t know if this projects use my latest expression map. But anyway you should use these settings:

Mapping Strings

Cc11 = Expression and Vibrato intensity

Cc1 = Portamento-Lenghth

Cc 2 = Bow pressure

Cc3 = Bow Lift

Cc4 =Harmonics

Cc5 = Pizz

Cc6 = Stopped

Cc8 = Tremolo

Cc9 = Bow position

Cc 27 = Sordino

Mapping Wind:

Cc11 = Expression

CC10 = Portamento-Length

CC1 = Vibrato (Narrow the Vibrato intensity to a low range)

Cc2 = Attack tongue (only for brass)

CC5 = Flutter tongue

CC3 = Growl (I think not yet implemented.

CC4 = Overblow

SWAMFlying_Theme_From_E.T._John_Williams.dorico (2.0 MB)

@dspreadbury I wanted to share those maps publicly when they are „ready“. But I think they will never be. So if you want to stick them to the corresponding thread you are more then welcome.

This is great, thank you for sharing.

Received reply from audio modeling and they are planning to create expression maps. He said it had been on hold due to the amount of work involved in new versions recy. Fingers crossed!
