### 1/5 — Complicated

*2026-07-12*

Struggled with it even after reading manual, also black buttons are almost impossible to see when they are engaged.

### 4/5 — An oddity of rare gear

*2026-06-19*

So I know this probably isn’t the same as the big hardware model but it’s weird and crazy as it is! It gets weirder than I expected. I’m not a big fan of the strips for tones but it’s fine here. Hails

### 5/5 — Gobsmacked

*2026-06-17*

An absolute stunner,well done.

- While turning a knob, a label now appears above it showing the control's name and current value (e.g. "VOLUME −6.0 dB").
- A new info bar at the bottom of the screen displays the name, value, and a short description of the parameter you're adjusting.

• MIDI Learn — Assign any hardware MIDI CC to any parameter directly inside the app. Tweak SwarmaDie2 with your favorite controller.

• Manual value entry — Tap any knob to type an exact value. Perfect for dialing in precise settings.

• Live value bubble — A read-out now follows your finger while dragging a knob, so you always see the current value.

• Readable units — Parameters now display in real-world units (dB, %, Hz, seconds, semitones, x, octaves) instead of raw numbers.

• Clearer bipolar controls — Positive values on bipolar parameters (Filter Tracking, Filter Envelope) now show an explicit "+" sign.
