Any of their wind instruments will sound amazing: https://audiomodeling.com/swam-engine/ Unfortunately I'm not aware of any free software like this. But you can run SWAM instruments on Linux: https://support.audiomodeling.com/guides/How_to_run_a_Audio_Modeling_SWAM_VSTi_on_Linux_v1.1.pdf There are also some rare hardware synths that work similarly, such as the Yamaha VL-1, but that is a $3,000 synth if you can find one. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
