SWAM Flute 3 includes four instruments: flute, alto flute, bass flute, and piccolo. The app is a perfect illustration of how a virtual instrument can realize the concept of articulation. The physics of the flute determine that the instrument’s main expressive techniques (such as expression, vibrato, and flutter tongue) all depend on a single factor: the dynamics of the breath. With SWAM Flute, all these parameters are easily controlled in real time with standard MIDI controllers, or even with a breath controller for a truly realistic feel.
