SWAM Saxophones vs The Sax Brothers

Before getting into technical details, please have a look at "Who is the owner of the SWAM technology?"

Important! As announced by Samplemodeling, The Sax Brothers have been dismissed on May, 31st 2018:

The Sax Brothers is a sample library for Kontakt with extensive scripting and sample processing conceived and developed by Stefano Lucato (currently, CEO of Audio Modeling). SWAM Saxophones is based on a totally new proprietary technology called SWAM - Synchronous Wave Acoustic Modeling.

Acoustically speaking, the difference is not so much. Someone said The Sax Brothers have a ‘brighter’ sound, the Tenor Sax has a more "noisy" sound on pp dynamics, but of course, it depends on settings, presets, and equalization.

Other differences include:

  • The Sax Brothers are played with a Kontakt player, SWAM Saxophones come as AudioUnits, VST, and AAX plug-ins for both Mac and Windows 64-bit.
  • SWAM Saxophones include a Soprano Sax, while The Sax Brothers do not.
  • SWAM Saxophones run without problems at a sample rate of 44100 Hz, while the Alto Sax in The Sax Brothers has to be played at a sample rate of 88200 Hz (otherwise you'll hear a jitter noise).
  • SWAM Saxophones include microtuning, temperament, and overblow functionalities, while The Sax Brothers do not have these functionalities.
  • SWAM Saxophones include two types of legato modes (Glissando vs. Expressive).
  • SWAM Saxophones support multi-channel, multi-expressive devices (ROLI Seaboard, ROLI Blocks, LinnStrument).
  • Finally, The Sax Brothers is a deprecated product. It doesn’t receive support anymore and it will never be updated. SWAM Saxophones is a product in constant development with frequent updates to include new features and fixes to reported issues.

We do offer cross-grade options to get SWAM Saxophones at a discounted price to owners of Mr. Sax T. and The Sax Brothers. Please check how to apply in the Sales, Billing, Offers section.
