SWAM with GarageBand X (macOS)
Note: You can use SWAM instruments even without a physical controller. In that case, you’ll need to draw expression curves (also called envelopes) or automations. If you don’t know how to achieve this, please refer to your DAW’s user manual.
Important Note
GarageBand X only supports 64bit Audio Units plug-ins.
How to enable Audio Units in GarageBand X (watch this video):
