Quadrantid Swarm (41HP)

Digital multi oscillator techno synth

***Note: This is entry is 41HP. Rather than users constantly changing the the width between 40HP and 41HP messing up how the module fits in people's MG racks, this entry was made for those with 41HP Swarms. Apparently both widths exist. Perhaps the newer ones are 41HP, but this has not been confirmed. ***

The Quadrantid Swarm module from Eowave is a semi-modular digital hybrid Eurorack module with a vast array of sounds, ready to be integrate with the rest of your Eurorack system. Combining a triangle oscillator with spread folding with a secondary percussive voice, it is capable of an incredible amount of textures and timbres. Further shape those sounds with the two 12dB/oct filters, configured in series. Filter 1 is selectable between low pass and high pass, while filter 2 is a low pass filter. In addition to the digital elements, a physical spring reverb provides a distinctive element of space to your sounds.

The touchplate interface is configurable in three modes: monophonic touchplate, polyphonic touch plate, and step sequencer. The eight-step sequencer has both an internal clock and can be clocked from an external clock source. In addition, the Quadrantid Swarm features a MIDI input to sequence the synthesizer from MIDI sources. An eight-waveform LFO with slew limiter adds motion to your sounds, while the two-stage envelope modulates the VCA and VCF concurrently.

Due to the semi-modular nature of this synthesizer, it requires no patch cables to make sounds. However, it contains a multitude of CV inputs to add another dimension of modulation and control. Whether you use it on its own or as part of a more extensive setup, the Quadrantid Swarm is a source of a myriad of sounds.
