BEHRINGER / SWORDS

SWORDS is a dual analog multimode filter with a drive circuit that controls the amount of gain and distortion of the input signal, allowing for a variety of adjustments from soft clipping to two stages of wavefolding.

Dual multimode filters for smooth tones to aggressive tones

Based on Mutable Instruments Blades

Two musical 12dB state variable filters for incredible sonic creativity

Analog circuitry based on the legendary 2164 semiconductor

Continuous morphing from low pass to band pass to high pass filters

Input overdrive from soft clipping to two-stage wave folding

Self-oscillation at high resonance settings, extension to ultra-low frequencies

Continuously variable routing with CV control from single to parallel to series

Eurorack spec 18 HP, 150 mA +12 V, 140 mA -12 V

Morph time
The Mode control morphs the filter response from low pass, band pass to high pass. The routing of both filters can be manipulated with the Routing knob, allowing you to blend between single, parallel and series.
