ILIO have announced the availability of three exclusive bundles that combine Nextmidi’s innovative Divisimate plug-in with a selection of Audio Modeling’s popular SWAM-series physical-modelling instruments.
Nextmidi’s say that the core motivation behind the creation of Divisimate was to give musicians the ability to play physically modelled monophonic instruments as an expressive ensemble. Thanks to recent updates to SWAM Instruments and the expanded capabilities offered by the latest version of Divisimate, the new bundles aim to bring together each company’s cutting-edge technologies together and provide composers and performers with a powerful scoring solution. Each bundle includes Divisimate along with a curated selection of SWAM Instruments, as well as a set of free downloadable templates packed with hundreds of orchestration presets that provide users with a wealth of ready-to-play setups.
