ProjectSAM The World of Swing Bundle

Swing!

Swing! playfully brings together the worlds of jazz and film scoring with lively big band ensembles, a groovy rhythm section and an awesome set of solo lead instruments.

It offers you an incredibly diverse collection of sounds that blend together marvelously.

If you compose for film, animation, games or advertisements, Swing! will undoubtedly lighten up your working day.

Swing More!

From the early years of animation to the gritty scenes of film noir, big band and jazz have a long tradition in film music.

As much as we love the sound of the symphony orchestra, it tells only one part of the story.

With the original Swing!, we took a first step in exploring the world of jazz and film scoring. Now, it is time to delve deeper.
