The Swarm is based around a bank of eight oscillators that start out tuned in unison.
Using the Span knob, you can continuously stretch out that cluster of notes from unison to, at the widest setting, evenly spaced harmonic multiples. Along the way, all kinds of dissonant tones and beat frequencies are created.
The Swarm was released as a standalone application only. It is not available as a plug-in at this time, but the audio output of the The Swarm may be sent to ReWire-compatible host applications.
Version 0.3 features these changes:
- Fixed window size and layout to allow use on smaller laptop screens
- Added Pitch Center control
- Added Waveform control
- Added all-on/all-off oscillator switching (by Shift-clicking)
- Improved preset system
Version 0.3.1 fixes:
- Fixed a glitch with the MIDI mapping for the fine control of the Span
