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

• 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
