Get to know the “The Swarm” Free Noise Drone Synth
Nice spacy sounds in this one:
It gets loud at moments, so watch your speaker volume : A demo of the new free standalone synth “The Swarm”. Rather unique compared to most other free synths available (Mac too!). I really enjoy the deep tone. Inspired by Leon Dewan’s “The Swarmatron”. A good alternative for people who don’t have several thousand dollars readily available. Obviously, this is no substitute for the real analog version but it does give the user a taste of the massive power of 8 Saws layered and detuned a bit from a central tone. Leon makes some of the most unique analog pieces around. Kontrolled by a Korg “NanoKontrol”
An impressive piece of code.

Virtual Swarmatron as used by Trent Reznor
reFuse Software has released a new, free synthesizer called The Swarm. Here’s what they have to say about it…
This project was inspired by the Swarmatron, a hardware drone synth, handmade by Dewanatron.
It was the Swarmatron that created many of the buzzing clouds of anxiety-provoking noise used by Trent Reznor in his Oscar-winning score for “The Social Network”. Since we were curious what it would be like to play such an instrument, yet didn’t have the $3200 laying around, we thought we’d build something like it in software, and share it with you.
The Swarm is released as an OS X standalone application only. It is not available as a plug-in, but the audio output of the The Swarm may be sent to ReWire-compatible host applications.

Intellijel μscale – quantized symmetry
The μscale module is a cv quantizer and musical interval generator. In this simple patch I am using four VCO’s. Cwejman VCO-2RM, VM-1,harvestman piston honda, and hertz donut. Everything is being CV sequenced by the output of the μscale. Clocked from one mini ELF LFO to a Doepfer 160, 161 then out to a-151 quad sequential switch controlling the MakeNoise Brains, and two pressure points doing long slow sequences back into the CV and Shift input on the Intellijel μscale. The drums are coming from the cwejman BLD and NS-04 for the white noise snare, and high hats. Effects used TipTop Z5000, Z-DSP, and Doepfer A-187
Cloud Chamber Live Subatomic Sounds Demo
Alexis Kirke – the synthesizer settings are fixed for this demo, but can be varied so that the particles make non-pitched noises, violin bows, high beeps and more complex swoops. (Demo of the system used by composer Alexis Kirke to create a performance for violin and subatomic particles.)
