Behringer SWORDS

Channel a wide range of tones, from smooth to downright searing and aggressive, with your new tool to cut through the mix and stand out: the Behringer SWORDS!

FEATURES

• Dual multi-mode filter for a wide range of smooth to aggressive tones

• Based on Mutable Instruments Blades

• 2 musical 12 dB state-variable filters for amazing sound creativity

• Analog circuitry based on legendary 2164 semiconductors

• Continuous morphing from low-pass to band-pass and high-pass filtering

• Input overdrive ranging from soft clipping to two-stage wave folding

• Self-oscillation at high resonance settings, extending into very low frequencies

• Continuously variable and CV-controlled routing from single to parallel and series

• Eurorack specs: 18 HP, 150 mA +12 V, 140 mA -12 V

Your Drive Starts Here
SWORDS is a dual analog multi-mode filter, complete with a drive circuit that controls the amount of gain and distortion of the input signal, which can be further varied from soft clipping to two-stage wave folding.

Morphin’ Time
The Mode control morphs the filter response, ranging from low-pass and band-pass to high-pass. Routing for both filters can be manipulated with the Routing knob, blending between single, parallel, or series.

Additional Features

• CV inputs

• Drive inputs

• V/Oct Input

• Attenuverters for resonance and frequency filter as well as Routing CV inputs

Eurorack Ready
SWORDS is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. Mix SWORDS with other modules in your setup and start creating unique sequences that add a whole new dimension to your sound.
