Beetronics Swarm

Beetronics Swarm Fuzz Harmonizer

The Swarm is an analogue fuzz harmonizer that sounds like a swarm of a thousand killer bees! It generates a square waveform from your input signal and then multiplies and divides its frequency. The result is nine different harmonies in two octaves. These can then be modulated so that anything is possible: from harmonies that follow the input signal exactly to a wild and uncontrollable swarm of bees. The WORKER controls the strength of the fuzz effect on your input signal. SPECIES allows you to select one of nine different intervals for the harmonies. QUEEN and DRONE control the volume of the two harmony voices, which sound an octave apart. FLIGHT and STING control the modulation of the harmony voices. These controls are very interactive and you will quickly discover many different sounds when trying them out. STING determines how quickly or slowly the harmonies follow your playing. Turn the knob all the way to the left and the harmonies will immediately start to stab with every note you play. If you turn the knob clockwise, the harmonies start to sound like a drunken bee that has had a little too much nectar. FLIGHT determines the type of modulation. Turned to the left, the harmonies oscillate up and down. Turn the control to the right and the modulation glides from one note to the next. The MASTER control determines the output volume. Enough theory! Although it's good to know what each knob does, the Swarm is at its best when played instinctively. Experiment with the settings until you find your sound and let the Swarm take you into new worlds of sound!
