ROCCAT Swarm II
ROCCAT Swarm II is free software for configuring compatible Turtle Beach devices and selected ROCCAT products. It can update firmware; supported headsets also get a dynamic 10-band equalizer, audio and microphone presets, and controls for microphone sensitivity, noise gate, and monitoring. The app can assign functions to a remappable wheel and mode button on supported headsets. Profiles store audio, microphone, and other adjustable settings. Some devices retain settings in onboard memory when Swarm II is closed or absent, but the maker notes that not every configured function is retained. The Atlas 200 USB profile guide describes five onboard profile slots and automatic switching for profiles assigned to games or programs. The app is listed for Windows, Android, and iOS. Basic device functions do not require Swarm, and some devices support driverless setup; Turtle Beach says installing Swarm II is necessary for troubleshooting. Some advanced audio features available in 2.4GHz wireless mode may not work over Bluetooth. For Atlas 200 USB, desktop software requires a USB audio adapter on Windows and the mobile version is unavailable.
