That's a great point. I tried a midi sequence into the Swarm from Live soon after I got it, and that worked well. The DAW was very new to me then so I didn't do more with that. I will try more midi things with it soon–been meaning to for months. Thanks!
Also, since I can't return mine as I bought it second-hand, I've been exploring best uses for it. I've found that when I think of it as a crazy drum machine, I get the most compelling and useful things from it and have the least "bad surprises".

Yes, it's not perfect and unstable for a serious project, but is very experimental and give you the opportunity to search new sounds. I recommended use by midi and not manual if you search a better touch. For manual use is not stable and give you bad surprises when you are in record mode.

How did the return process go? I tried a couple times to get in touch with Eowave but they gave me the cold shoulder.

Has anyone else had issues with the sensitivity of the touch pads on the Swarm? It only registers about 1 in 3 touches for me in use, unless I lick my fingers.
