Certainly. In an orchestral context, it's common for the vibrato to be less pronounced compared to solo instruments. This is primarily due to the nature of orchestral playing, where a group of musicians comes together to perform as a unified ensemble.

In an orchestra, it's rare to find wide, highly noticeable vibrato as you might hear in a solo performance. Each musician in the ensemble brings their individual style and expression to the piece, resulting in a collective vibrato that can be described as the nearly chaotic interplay of many different vibratos.

The goal of orchestral vibrato is not to stand out as a soloist but to contribute to the overall texture and depth of the ensemble sound. It's a part of the orchestra's unique and rich character, where subtle nuances combine to create a harmonious whole.

So, if you find that the vibrato in SWAM String Sections is less pronounced than you might expect, it's an accurate representation of the typical vibrato in an orchestral context. It's important to understand that the focus here is on recreating the realism of a full orchestral experience rather than highlighting individual virtuosity.
