Step 01 / 5
Shape engine A and its amplitude contour #
Choose engine A’s oscillator type and set its two named macros. Swarm Triangle uses Motion and Spacing for internal movement and interval spread. Set engine A’s tuning, level and amplitude envelope with its filter bypassed.
Use Meld with the complete starting settings. Set the source and amplitude controls below; sections marked Off stay bypassed at this stage.
Signal flow: Meld → Delay → Reverb → Utility. Begin with the instrument, then add each effect in its numbered step.

| A Osc Motion | 33.8 |
| A Osc Spacing | 42.0 |
| A Volume | -10 dB |
| A Amp Attack | 1.03 s |
| A Amp Decay | 2.43 s |
| A Amp Sustain | -4.0 dB |
| A Amp Release | 2.26 s |

| Volume | -8.0 dB |
| Scale Aware | Off |
| B On | Off |
| A Filter On | Off |
| Voice Spread | 0 % |
Voicing and modulation #
Set these voice and controller assignments for both engines. Unlisted modulation cells remain at zero. Spread moves each engine’s detuning and pan in opposite directions. The engine oscillator macros provide additional internal motion.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Voicing | Poly |
| Poly voices | 8 |
| Stacked voices | Off |
| Spread → A Detune | 50 |
| Pitch Bend → A Pitch Mod | 7 st |
| Note Pitch Bend → A Pitch Mod | 48 st |
| Spread → A Pan | 50 |
| Velocity → A Volume | 50 |
| Spread → B Detune | -50 |
| Pitch Bend → B Pitch Mod | 7 st |
| Note Pitch Bend → B Pitch Mod | 48 st |
| Spread → B Pan | -50 |
| Velocity → B Volume | 50 |
Use the voicing and modulation settings for the oscillator choices, voice mode and modulation routes.

Next: Layer engine B and shape the stereo tone →Step 02 / 5
Layer engine B and shape the stereo tone #
Enable engine B and engine A’s filter using the states below. Choose engine B’s oscillator type, then shape each engine’s filter and envelope. Set Voice Spread for the global detuning and stereo distribution; the voicing and modulation table specifies its routes.
Keep the first stage’s source and amplitude settings while making these changes. The complete instrument settings show the resulting tone before effects.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| A Filter Type | SVF 12dB |
| A Filter Freq | 1.55 kHz |
| A Filter Q | 12.0 |
| B On | On |
| B Osc Type | Basic Shapes |
| B Osc Shape | 0.0 |
| B Osc Tone | 0.0 |
| B Octave | 1 oct |
| B Volume | -22 dB |
| B Filter Freq | 3.60 kHz |
| B Amp Attack | 1.10 s |
| B Amp Decay | 4.00 s |
| B Amp Sustain | -6.0 dB |
| B Amp Release | 2.20 s |
| Voice Spread | 25 % |
| A Filter On | On |
Sound after step 2 — WebM/Opus
Next: Apply Delay →Step 03 / 5
Apply Delay #
Set the left and right delay modes and times, then set Feedback and Dry/Wet. Unequal times create a stereo echo pattern. Feedback changes how long repeats persist; filtering changes their tone. The modulation controls move the delay’s timing or filter when their amounts are above zero.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| L Sync | Off |
| R Sync | Off |
| Link | Off |
| L Time | 340 ms |
| R Time | 470 ms |
| Ping Pong | On |
| Feedback | 30 % |
| Dry/Wet | 22 % |
| Filter Freq | 1.70 kHz |
| Filter Width | 3.00 |
| LFO Freq | 0.18 Hz |
| LFO > Delay | 2.0 % |
| LFO > Filter | 4.0 % |
| Freeze | Off |
Place Delay after Meld. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
Sound after step 3 — WebM/Opus
Next: Apply Reverb →Step 04 / 5
Apply Reverb #
Set decay, room size and Dry/Wet for the surrounding space. Predelay separates the direct attack from the room. Input filtering shapes what excites the reverb, while diffusion and high-frequency damping change the density and brightness of its tail.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Predelay | 30.0 ms |
| In Lo Cut On | Off |
| In Hi Cut On | Off |
| Diff. Hi Freq | 3.20 kHz |
| HiShelf Gain | 0.60 |
| Density | High |
| Freeze On | Off |
| Decay Time | 3.60 s |
| Room Size | 90.00 |
| Dry/Wet | 20 % |
Place Reverb after Delay. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
Sound after step 4 — WebM/Opus
Next: Apply Utility →Step 05 / 5
Apply Utility #
Set gain and width at the end of the chain. Set Utility’s Gain knob to the Output value in the table. Width changes the balance between center and side information; Mono combines the channels. Bass Mono narrows only the low frequencies below its cutoff. Keep DC Filter and phase-inversion switches at the listed values.
| Control | Value |
|---|---|
| Output | 9.12 dB |
| DC Filter | On |
| Bass Mono | On |
| Bass Freq | 160 Hz |
Place Utility after Reverb. The complete settings include its remaining controls.
