Experience the power of a cutting-edge multi-mode filter with the Behringer SWORDS. This dual analog multi-mode filter module delivers a wide palette of tones—from velvety smooth to downright aggressive—perfect for sculpting your sound to slice through the mix. Whether you're layering lush pads or crafting abrasive synth leads, SWORDS provides the tools to make your voice heard.

Seamless Morphing Between Filter Modes

With the twist of a knob, you can morph between low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filter responses on each of SWORDS' two state-variable filters. This continuous transition allows for fluid, evolving textures as you perform. Explore resonant sweeps, dynamic rhythms and everything in between as the filters work in tandem to shape your audio signal.

Unleash Searing Overdrive and Wave Folding

Take your tone to the next level with SWORDS' input overdrive circuit. Dial in searing distortion by increasing the drive or back it off for subtle warming and grit. You can even push the signal into two-stage wave folding, unlocking an entirely new realm of complex, harmonically-rich textures. With the drive inputs, you can modulate the overdrive externally for rhythmic pulsing and dynamic movement.

Parallel, Series and Split Filter Routing

The routing control on SWORDS allows you to configure the dual filters for different effects. Run them in parallel for thick, layered tones or in series for extreme resonant peaks. You can even split the filters across the two audio paths for intricate interplay between them. Combined with the continuously variable filter modes, the routing possibilities are truly vast.

Comprehensive CV Control and Eurorack Integration

As a Eurorack-compatible module, SWORDS integrates seamlessly with modular synthesizer rigs. Dedicated CV inputs provide voltage control over parameters like drive, mode, frequency, resonance and routing. Attenuverters allow you to scale the CV amounts for precise modulation control. With its 18 HP width, SWORDS slides right into standard Eurorack cases alongside other modules in your creative arsenal.
