Background: I use SWAM sounds, a VSTi by Audio Modeling, for the big band jazz charts I write. MarioD put me onto this product. SWAM is pronounced 'SWOM' like 'swamp' without the p.

They have released a version called GeoSWAM along with a GeoShred player that runs on an iPad and even an iPhone. The sounds are quite extraordinary and the price, unlike the desktop version, is quite reasonable. What some people can do to play an individual instrument on the iPad is remarkable.

Has anyone here tried this?
