Important Notes

For the best experience, we recommend using a device with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, or later) for optimal responsiveness and real-time performance.

Like the solo SWAM Strings instruments, SWAM Viola Section is monophonic, as it accurately replicates real bowed string instruments, allowing only double stops where realistic fingerings permit.

To fully explore the expressive power of SWAM Viola Section, a MIDI controller capable of continuous expression (such as an MPE device, breath controller, or expression pedal) is recommended.
