GeoSWAM Collection III: Saxophones and Brass for GeoShred Studio

GeoSWAM Collection III gathers two saxophones and three brass voices into a single virtual instrument bundle for GeoShred Studio. GeoSopranoSax and GeoBaritoneSax bracket the saxophone family from the top down and the bottom up, joining the existing GeoTenorSax to cover three of the four saxophone quartet voices. GeoFlugelhorn, GeoFrenchHornBb, and GeoTubaEb fill in the blending middle and the deep foundation of a brass section, so that alongside GeoTrumpet and GeoBassTrombone a composer can voice a modeled brass choir with each part performed in real time. Jazz arrangers, film and television composers, and brass band writers get five horns in one purchase. Bought individually, the five instruments total $250. GeoSWAM Collection III is $200, a savings of $50. Larger bundles are also available: GeoSWAM Collection III & IV adds the five world flutes, and GeoSWAM Collection I & II & III & IV includes every GeoSWAM instrument.

All five instruments are powered by Audio Modeling's SWAM physical modeling technology, which simulates the interaction of breath, reed or lip, and bore as one continuous acoustic event. Breath, carried by pressure on GeoShred's multi-row grid, drives every note for as long as it sounds: the soprano swells and bends, the baritone moves from subtone to honk, the flugelhorn warms through a long line, the horn opens from covered to brassy, and the tuba grows from a soft pedal tone to a full, round blast. Each instrument is monophonic, built for the kind of detailed solo phrasing where the shape of a single note matters. GeoShred's integrated FX rack, including EchoMT, Reverb, and AmpCab, sits in the signal chain of every instrument during performance, and each one ships with 20 factory presets spanning dry voices, FX chains, and alternate keyboard layouts.

FAQ

What is GeoSWAM Collection III?
GeoSWAM Collection III is a bundle of five physically modeled saxophone and brass instruments for GeoShred Studio: GeoSopranoSax, GeoBaritoneSax, GeoFlugelhorn, GeoFrenchHornBb, and GeoTubaEb. Each is powered by Audio Modeling's SWAM physical modeling technology and designed for expressive, breath-driven solo performance.

Do I need GeoShred Studio to use GeoSWAM Collection III?
Yes. GeoSWAM Collection III runs inside GeoShred Studio, and a GeoShred Studio license is included with your purchase for customers who do not already own one. If you already own GeoShred Studio, you can use your existing license to run GeoSWAM Collection III.

How much do I save with this collection?
Each of the five instruments is available individually for $50, totaling $250 if purchased separately. GeoSWAM Collection III bundles all five for $200, saving you $50.

Why are these five instruments grouped together?
GeoSopranoSax and GeoBaritoneSax cover three of the four saxophone quartet voices together with GeoTenorSax, while GeoFlugelhorn, GeoFrenchHornBb, and GeoTubaEb round out the brass section alongside GeoTrumpet and GeoBassTrombone. Together they give composers the blending middle voices and deep foundation that jazz, film, and brass band writing call for.

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 III support?
All instruments in GeoSWAM Collection III work with MPE controllers, wind and breath controllers, the free GeoShred Control iOS companion app, and standard MIDI keyboards when paired with a breath, expression, or foot controller.

What's the difference between GeoSWAM and Naada instruments?
GeoSWAM instruments are developed in collaboration with Audio Modeling and focus on Western orchestral and acoustic instruments. They are monophonic and designed for highly detailed solo performance. Naada instruments are developed by AccelMatrix and span a broader palette of global instruments. Naada instruments are polyphonic, supporting chords and layered textures. Both instrument families share the same expressive GeoShred performance environment.

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.
