Hi everyone, For those who would like to know when it will be restock, we had a little delay in production ( i will send some to our distributor at the end of the week but not enough i guess, I'm sure Alex is doing that so i can't sleep because to much work ;) , We are working on a new batch who'll be ready 3week/1 month ( it take time to do this beast, we have to send into the space each unit so they absorb galactic energy and then let them macerate in lava to make the filters sound warm! Cheers
You should try to add Sweetwater as a distributor at some point! (TBH I'm self-interested because I live nearby and have a card there and can splurge. xD ) (Also, I noticed one of your distributors, ModularAddict, sells build kits. I know it might not be feasible but a build kit of this would be awesome.)
‘When it’s allowed to work’ I think you mean. It worked great a few years ago until they decided to remove unsponsored creators and/or anything not ‘child-friendly.’ It’s not that the algorithm doesn’t know want you want to see. It just won’t show it to you. A small to medium sized channel with interesting content has the algo-odds stacked against it.
@@Bavinckovic No eurorack. At the moment, Deluge, Reface CP (I just need a rhodes!), Reface YC would be nice too just for playing. I'm fairly content with what I have but I do need a master brain which the deluge could manage no problem. Everything else is just me wanting a new shiny thing I think!
Hello there, Swarms are being assembled and finished (a part is already done and have to make a bit more to send pallets to our distributor ===> They will be shipped next week. Once again, sorry for that lonnnnnng delay (and another batch is also on the make and will be ready late this month to be sure we will have stock for eveybody :) ) Cheers

Hello there! Here to announce some bad news :/ ( and have to announce it here since it's the page of the Swarm improvisation lord) : due to the component shortage, i'm working on probably the last Quadrantid swarm batch (who is by the way almost done and i will send it to our distributor next week). The Mcu and some other component inside are out of stock till some years in the future (and it's even possible when we will be here that they will be more delay regarding how things are going). Except if there will be some kind of miracle and components reapers ( i've been checking that almost every days last 6 month, so i'm kind of disillusioned about that) swarm will take is retirement. But anyway, we are working on new things we hope you'll like! Cheers to all :)
Oh man, absolutely terrible news for would-be swarmers, praying for an updated V2 in due course! This sounds like a familiar industry tale from the conversations I had at Synthfest recently: th-cam.com/video/iFLKT6wW2Kg/w-d-xo.html - keep on bleeping Eowave!!
2 things that I loved in this crazy machine: the machine it self, so musical and electronic, and you playing it. Wooow , great sound man. Thanks for this live act.
I think the looper part can be done in the DAW world like Ableton so it is half step to be a future SONG. Unless it's to play live and maybe in that case an hardware looper, not sure....
this is the only video out there about swarm that actualy delivers,everything else that i looked its mediocre or should i say it doesnt show what the thing is capable off. That moment when you randomly jam and spontanous lough occurs its priceless to me i was smiling too just listening to it, and then i knew i need this.Great presentation!
Hah thanks. Yeah it’s one of those rare occasions where there’s a whole side of something that just didn’t seem to get put across at all!! Nice to be able to do it. 👍
I love this thing. I fully place the "blame" for my buying one in your general direction. I don't take it out often enough; but I spent 30-45 with it again tonight and man once you get a groove going it just screams for drums and more distortion. I'll agree the build quality is "delicate" (the knobs wiggle and what not) - I wouldn't want to travel with it without a sturdy case; but as something I use on my desk, it's totally fine - I just wouldn't let kids touch it. And man those two filters, when you start to blend and the low end creeps in - unlike some other filters (which is fine) - I just smile. It's so very good. Love it.
Holy crap!!! 20:40! I was in the Boiler Room, eyes closed, sweaty and tripping out a wee bit for a while there! Absolutely cracking. There’s a single/ep mixed into this video mate. 🤟
This video has cost me thousands of dollars and got me all the way into the modular rabbit hole, specifically the full attack on the envelope that happens at 11:12 ish. Thanks for the great content!
it's such a strong voice, it barely needs any accompaniment for a full sound. ... i love it.. I run it through some wavefolding and it just comes alive with hidden textures
Update: I just picked up my Swarm from Perfect Circuit at 5pm Pacific today... It is now past midnight and I haven't been able to step away from it once
you should also watch the "28 minute Moog DFAM jam" vid on this channel. It sold me a DFAM and I have absolutely no regrets (and still occasionally go back and relisten to that vid)
Holy shit, this has been one of the most amazing jams I have seen in a long time. This synth is so extremely powerful and the sound it makes are just pure chaotic bliss.
Seen this and been hunting for one for a couple of weeks now . On Wednesday 4 arrived into stock at juno ! By the time I put my details in and finished my order they were all sold !! Got it now and loving it .. you have indeed made this a must have ... cheers and happy new year .
Since I saw this video a month ago I've been checking everywhere, every single day to see if it's back in stock. Today I won it on an eBay auction (new). I'm beyond excited for it to arrive I'm not gonna be able to sleep for the next few days !!!!!!
this! i‘m completely new to modular, but thinking about putting my swarm in a 64 or maybe even 80 HP case with some other modules to expand it’s functionality. really don’t know where to start though...
This video tipped me over the edge into acquiring one! This is basically THE synth I've been looking for to make Tech-Step (techno-influenced) and traditional neurofunk Drum and Bass; not to mention some of the smackiest, dirtiest and fattest Analog Techno. I always have a smile on my face working with this evil little box. Thanks for the vid!
Double thumbs up. I’m going to need one of these beasts sooner or later. This is one of my very favorite TH-cam synth channels. Other than a DFAM I’ve never even laid eyes upon anything Eurorack. But I’ve seen the light and there’s no going back. If it’s not modular, no thank you. A year ago I was still thinking I’d need to learn piano. I will never learn piano or proper keyboard playing. The piano is a fine instrument, just not my instrument. Modular is my instrument (along with voice, bass and Ukulele). DAW? Never. Prophet 5? Fuck that shit. Yer-oh-rak. All I want, other than $20 K USD worth of gear, is to buy Techno Viking a beer and give him a big hug.
I’m kind of on the fence about that. I’ve had the amazing little desktop Domino for a couple years. Midi stopped working. Haven’t been able to get a support response ever from them. Like zero reply and I’ve reached out thru the site, over email etc.
Things mylarmelodies made me buy (so far)- 1. 0-coast (I dare anyone to watch the demo and not get one) 2. DFAM 3. Intellijel Metropolis 4. And now this... (haven't bought it yet, but heck)
Very cool. Instant party techno. Amazing sounding little box. I’ve seen videos of this thing before. But it never looked quite as bonkers and interesting as this 😎
Apparently one CAN put techno in a box. That box is the Eowave Quadrantid Swarm. The missus is going to be overjoyed when I tell her there is yet another synth that I simply cannot live without. I guess I could just say, "What- this old thing? I've had it forever."
If you have a dog, put an old piece of kit out covered in peanut butter then let him go to town on it. Once properly chewed, you now need to replace that thing with an Eowave Quadrantid Swarm, the exact thing that damn dog chewed up.
Holy God Man!! I need this cosmic box! (I don't think I anticipated my REV2 this much) Is the scarcity making it even more legendary to me? I cant wait til April 19th, I gotta do something cause my DFAM is gonna absolutely LOVE her!! I see the two of them KILIIN IT together! In the meantime, I'll just keep getting better on the DFAM
Sounds incredible and is exactly what I'm looking for. So the only way to get varying step lengths is by hooking it up to modular or other gear? Is there a self patching method at all? I'm not into modular yet but still love this device. However I can't justify the price if I need to get into modular to adjust the step length.
You could connect the LFO to the reset and get some of that going on - it wouldn’t be as consistent as a clock divider. There are some external devices like the CV/OCD which should be able to make a reset and save you buying a whole modular to do it
If I wasn't pretending to be a musician and actually knew how to use any of the equipment I already own this thing would be on its way to me already since I found it in stock in the states
I built a diy module that’s very similar called Weather Drones also from eowave, this looks like the big brother of it. Been wondering about this one but there wasn’t much online about it, but I’m definitely sold after your video! Nice one!
..... on a side note, as crazy and GAS inducing as this device is + the fact it's Euro-rackable ........... What Euro rack modules would you pick to do what this thing does? Just curious because I have a DFAM, several filters, multi-FX, EG, VCA etc. I feel like I've got a good few of the building blocks already. What other choice modules can you think of to take things Swarm side?
At 20:10 _I_ can feel the tingles going up YOUR spine

Half a minute in and already loving it while wiggling in my chair!
Far one of the best Swarm demo !
THE SHOWCASE JAMS ARE HEAVY AS FWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUU
sounds kinda like drexciya in a box, especially the glassy atonal noises it can put out. pair that with some clean 808 and get proper detroit
On my side, i think more on a Unit Moebius "in a box" :-)
That would pair soooo nicely with a DFAM. 😍🤩🥳
+ subharmonicon and maybe tr8s :p
I wish I could give this comment 2x thumbs up. I'd love to hear an entire album with this synth, a DFAM, and a looper!
