GeoSWAM Collection I for GeoShred Studio
GeoSWAM Collection I is a bundle of six physically modeled solo instruments for GeoShred Studio, covering orchestral strings, woodwinds, and saxophone. Each instrument responds to touch, pressure, and gesture on GeoShred's continuous pitch surface with real-time acoustic behavior: bow friction, reed dynamics, embouchure shifts, and breath noise shaped by advanced physical modeling.
Works with MPE controllers, wind and breath controllers, and GeoShred Control, a free iPhone and iPad companion app that delivers a multi-touch expressive surface for live performance.
GeoShred Studio Required. Running GeoSWAM Collection I requires prior installation of GeoShred Studio.
GeoSWAM Collection I: Six Western Orchestral Instruments for GeoShred Studio
GeoSWAM Collection I brings together six physically modeled solo instruments from the Western orchestral and jazz traditions, combining the core of a solo string section with a complete woodwind family. The collection includes GeoViolin and GeoCello from the bowed string family, GeoFlute, GeoClarinet, and GeoOboe from the orchestral woodwind section, and GeoTenorSax for jazz, pop, and film scoring work. Purchased individually, these six instruments total $300. GeoSWAM Collection I is available for $250, delivering six instruments for the price of five.
Every instrument runs inside GeoShred Studio, where continuous pressure, gesture, and position across the multi-row pitch surface map directly to bow dynamics, embouchure, vibrato, and articulation in real time. Inside that environment, the SWAM physical modeling engine simulates the behavior of bow, reed, breath, and body as a live acoustic event rather than triggering pre-recorded samples. For composers and producers working on orchestral mockups, film and television scores, jazz ensembles, and solo performance, this collection provides a deeply expressive foundation of Western acoustic voices within a single performance environment.

FAQ
What is GeoSWAM Collection I?
GeoSWAM Collection I is a bundle of six physically modeled Western orchestral instruments for GeoShred Studio: GeoViolin, GeoCello, GeoFlute, GeoClarinet, GeoOboe, and GeoTenorSax. Each instrument is designed for expressive, gesture-driven solo performance on GeoShred's continuous pitch surface.
How much do I save with this collection?
Each of the six instruments is priced at $50 individually, totaling $300. GeoSWAM Collection I bundles all six for $250, delivering six instruments for the price of five.
Are GeoSWAM instruments polyphonic?
No. GeoSWAM instruments are monophonic by design, matching the acoustic behavior of a single solo instrument. This makes them ideal for detailed expressive solo performance, orchestral layering, and film scoring. For polyphonic physically modeled instruments, see the Naada collections.
What controllers does GeoSWAM Collection I support?
All instruments in GeoSWAM Collection I work with MPE controllers, wind and breath controllers, the free GeoShred Control iOS companion app, and standard MIDI controllers.
What's the difference between GeoSWAM and standalone SWAM instruments?
GeoSWAM instruments run inside GeoShred Studio and are built around GeoShred's expressive performance surface, including its multi-row grid, continuous pitch layout, pressure response, gesture control, and integrated FX rack. SWAM instruments from Audio Modeling are standalone instruments and plug-ins with deeper access to advanced model parameters. Both use the same underlying SWAM physical modeling technology.
