"REON Drift Box S is an analog semi-modular synthesizer with onboard joystick that lends itself to endless hands-on sonic exploration.

Use it alone and drone through vast soundscapes and textures -or- pair it with all sorts of other hardware and it can handle a multitude of duties. The joystick can control the two VCO and lowpass VCF frequencies, allowing unique and smooth sweeping of the frequency spectrum.

The Drift Box S plays well with friends! It's small format and 5 inputs make it easy and awesome for pairing with other hardware, including the rest of the Drift Box series. The external audio input means it can be function as a filter fx box. Use the VCO's modulation CV inputs and the CV gate input with a sequencer or CV capable keyboard and it becomes a fat analog voice. It works exceptionally well when used with a modular synthesizer.

Switches

VCO1

Ext Mod: Engage External Modulation input
VCO2: Engage cross-modulation from VCO2
Drift: Engage drift modulation from X-axis of drift joystick
VCO2

Wave: Switch between square and triangle waveforms
VCO1: Engage cross-modulation from VCO1
Drift: Engage drift modulation from X-axis of drift joystick
VCF

VCO1: Engage VCO1 frequency modulation
VCO2: Engage VCO2 frequency modulation
Drift: Engage drift modulation from Y-axis of drift joystick
Ext: Engage external audio input
Gate

Gate switch opens and closes the gate.
With the gate switch off, the momentary white button on the bottom right opens the gate
Knob Controls

VCO 1 & 2

Mod: Frequency modulation level. All sources are mixed and this is the overall level.

Q: Frequency (10 Hz ~ 20kHz)
VCF

Reso: Resonance level. Cranking the resonance causes self-oscillation.
Q: Cutoff frequency
Ext: External input level
No: White noise input level
Vol: Master output volume
