You need to simulate what happens in real life, i.e. add an instrument for each player of the section who plays slightly different from the others.
With SWAM instruments you can compose and arrange your orchestra pieces or concertos. SWAM Violin is an instrument based on physical modeling. So it is possible to control the main mechanical variables in real time. For example, the velocity controls the attack of the sound and the portamento time, as well when playing legato.
SWAM Violin is the solution. It was developed using Audio Modeling's proprietary SWAM-S engine, a powerful physical modeling technology derived from the digital waveguides approach. Real-time controllable via MIDI controllers, SWAM Violin requires only the smallest footprint to create the perfect organic consistency resulting from the endless. How do Embertone's Joshua Bell Violin (JBV) and Audio Modeling's SWAM Violin (SV) compare? The JBV has a sweet, natural-sounding tone right out of the box an. With this bundle you don’t need to look for anything else: all the best physical modeled Solo Strings, Solo Brass and the best hybrid modeled Solo Woodwinds will be yours. SWAM ALL IN BUNDLE value is up to 2150 USD/EUR: SWAM Clarinets 170 USD/EUR + SWAM Saxophones 250 USD/EUR + SWAM Double Reeds 250 USD/EUR + SWAM Flutes 250 USD/EUR + SWAM.
Here's an example for creating a violin section:
1. On a DAW, create one track for each player of the section (let's say 8 violins), and load a SWAM Violin on each.
2. Each instance of the violin must behave differently from the others:
- Slightly detune each instance (from -15 to +15 cents).
- Select a different 'Instrument' for each instance (select 'M' mono types to save CPU).
- Change slightly the bow position, bow pressure, string resonance, and so on.
- Write the sequence for the first violin, copy it to the other tracks, then slightly randomize the starting point and the duration of each note for each track.
- Turn off the internal reverb, insert a reverb plugin on each track and set different Early Reflection time (e.g. from 20 to 40 ms) and pan positioning for each instance.
3. Apply a final reverb to the whole section.
Of course, running 8 violins will require a lot of CPU power. If you run out of power, you can render some tracks to audio and work on the remaining ones.
This is a rough example done with 4 violins. The track starts with the ensemble followed by each violin separately:

Also note that these software virtual instruments do not load inside your wind controller or MIDI controller. They are software instruments that run on your Mac or PC computer which are then controlled with your wind controller, breath controller, or MIDI Controller via MIDI or USB connection. If you need a USB to MIDI interface to connect your wind controller or breath controller to your computer, we sell these as well. Email Matt for details.
