"Uses a flocking algorithm to control a bank of
oscillators as they move through an envelope-constrained
5 dimensional parametric hyperspace"

FEATURES
--------

Makes sound by mixing output from a user-sizeable bank of
oscillators

Oscillators are controlled by five parameters - volume,
pitch, pan, resonance and noise

Values of each oscillator's parameters continually
change, equating to movement through five-dimensional
hyperspace

Movement through hyperspace is constrained to a bounding
box specified by a home position and permissive range for
each parameter

Graphical envelopes modify the bounding box through the
duration of each note

Within the bounding box, each oscillator follows a
rule-based flocking algorithm - a 5D equivalent of AI
simulations of 2D and 3D animal flocking behaviour

3D visualisation of the oscillator's movement through
hyperspace, using hue & luminance to represent the other
2 dimensions

Mouse-clicking the hyperspace visualisation affects the
sound by causing oscillators to veer towards or away
from the mouse

Hotkey powered sticky-mouse for moving the cursor in 5
dimensions

Controllable reseeding to make the algorithm
deterministic or non-deterministic

IIR resonant lowpass filter

Overdrive

101 automatable parameters, controllable through VST
automation or fully remappable MIDI control messages

Collection of preset sounds

QWERTYUIOP control - SwarmSynth can be played with the
computer keyboard

Anarchy button to randomise current settings

Context-sensitive help system
