Installation Guide
for SWAM – based instruments
Please store all the downloaded files in a safe place for future use!
After extraction of the ZIP archive make sure that you downloaded the right version matching
your system (32 or 64 bit).
Copy the User Manual to a convenient, safe place for future
reference
and read it before using the instrument.
Please note that the SWAM-based instruments are VST and AU
PLUGINS,
not stand-alone
applications. After installation, they can only be opened in host applications like sequencers
(Cubase, Logic, etc.), DAWs, free VST hosts and others, supporting VST or AU standard.
Windows
Before running the installer, please make sure that you know the exact path to your VST Plugins.
This path must be entered during the installation procedure. It is usually the VST folder of your
host application.
Path examples:
Cubase, 32bit:
C:/Programs/Steinberg/VST Plugins
Cubase, 64bit:
C:/Programs/Steinberg/VST Plugins 64bit
Make sure that you are installing the right version for your system (32 or 64 bit). Please note
that the 64bit plugin version cannot be used on a 32 bit system. If you use a 64bit computer, we
strongly recommend to install the 64bit plugin version only.
On a 64bit system, please do not confuse the folder “Programs” (which contains 64bit applications only)
with „Programs (x86)“, which is for 32bit applications!
If you are not sure about the location of your VST plugin folder, please refer to the user manual
of your host application.
The installer will also create the folder Programs/Samplemodeling/SWAM
where the
uninstaller,
the
End User License Agreement
(EULA) and the instrument presets can
be found.
In case no host application is available, please refer to the section “Stand-alone mode” in the
User Manual.
NOTE (for computer-geeks only):
All the files belonging to the instruments (dlls, samples,
and other files) will be installed in one single “SWAM” folder within the VST folder (usually on
the system disk – see above), so the samples cannot be separated/copied to another drive.
However, no direct disk streaming is used; the samples (less than 80 MB per instrument) are
directly loaded into the RAM. Whether they reside on the system disk or an external drive
depends solely on the location of your VST folder (which you have chosen during the installation
of the host application).
Mac OS
Run the appropriate installer (32 or 64 bit) and follow the instructions. This will install both AU
and VST plugins in the “Components” and “VST” folders respectively:
<HD>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/XXXX_ xxbit v1.xx. component
And
<HD>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/XXXX_ xxbit v1.0.1. vst
where “XXXX” is the name of the instrument
The
End User License Agreement
(EULA) and the instrument presets will be installed in
/Users/Shared/Samplemodeling/SWAM/XXXX.
Note:
Although only the option “all users” is available and highlighted, it still requires a click to
proceed.
NOTE (for computer-geeks only):
All the files belonging to the instruments (the engine
application, samples, and other files) are integrated within the single “component” file (usually
on the system disk), so the samples cannot be separated/copied to another drive. However, no
direct disk streaming is used; the samples (less than 80 MB per instrument) are directly loaded
into the RAM. In case you prefer keeping the instrument on an external drive, you need to copy
the entire component file to the new location, and create an alias in the previous location
(inside the Components). Please note that the vst file is already an alias linked to the
“component” file.
Online activation
After installation of the Saxophones, a software activation is necessary, otherwise the
instruments will not work, showing “not licensed” on the GUI. Each instrument requires its own
activation.
1. Launch your host application and load the instrument (Please refer to the Manual of your
host application if it does not recognize the plugin). The Online Activation window of the
instrument appears – for example:
2
2. Enter either License Key you received with the download links.
After a few seconds the authorization procedure is completed. The instrument installed on your
system is permanently personalized and activated, and your e-mail address will appear on the
instrument GUI.
Please note:
-
-
the above procedure may take a while in case of a very slow Internet connection.
if you are prompted to enter more data than just the License Key, you are not connected
to the internet and the Offline Activation is started. At this point you may choose to go
online and repeat the Online Activation procedure (highly recommended), or proceed
with the Offline Activation as explained below.
Offline activation
We strongly recommend the online activation. It´s much more convenient and faster. It also
makes any future requests (license recovery, deactivations and re-activations etc.) much easier.
The online activation can be performed even if you connect your computer to the Internet for a
few minutes only.
If you cannot connect your system to the Internet even temporarily, follow the instructions
below to complete the offline activation:
1. The Offline Activation window of your instrument appears – for example:
3
2. Copy the System ID making sure that no characters are missing.
3.
From a computer with an Internet connection go to www.swamengine.com/activate
The Offline Activation Page appears:
Enter the System ID, an unused License Key and your e-mail address into the appropriate
fields. (The License Keys have been sent to you together with the download links and via
an email). Please note that the entered e-mail address must be identical to the address
used for the purchase. After clicking on “Submit” the Activation Code will be displayed,
and an e-mail with all the above data will be sent to the given e-mail address.
3. Go back to the previous, offline computer and enter (copy/paste) the License Key, the
Activation Code and your e-mail address into the appropriate fields of the Offline
Activation window. Please note: your e-mail address must be written exactly like the e-
mail used for the purchase!
4. In a few seconds the plugin will be permanently personalized and activated, and your e-
mail address will be displayed on the instrument GUI.
Note: Please safely store all the activation data! (License Keys, Activation Codes, as
well as the e-mail address and the name belonging to them). They are necessary in
case of any new installations.

Deactivation
Deactivation of the instrument might be necessary if you used up both license numbers (keys),
but need to move to a new computer. This is possible only if the new computer belongs to you.
In this case the instrument(s) on the “old” system will be deactivated (they cannot be used any
more) and their license keys will become free for the activation of the software on the new
computer. The above procedure must be done directly on our server. Please contact us,
providing the license key and the computer ID which shall be deactivated.
