"These are hard to find as they don't make full versions anymore. One of the little feet fell off but everything works great. This is one of the coolest music makers I've ever used. Only selling because I need money. This auction includes what you see in the photos. Everything is in perfect working order. I'm not entirely sure if this is v1 or v2 but I'm guessing that it's v1 since I bought it when it first came out.A drone is created by slightly de-tuning 2 oscillators. This creates a rhythmic phase canceling effect as the output waves line up and diverge. The density of the drone can be increased by adding more oscillators tuned by harmonic steps above or below the other oscillators.
The Drone Lab is engineered to allow for the creation of dense, pulsing drones. A series of filters and a distortion circuit have been built in to add more depth and variation to the drone.
INTERFACING:TREMOLO CLOCK. The master clock is totally modular, meaning it can control the clocks in other Drone Labs or be controlled BY other Drone Labs. This means any number of Drone Labs can be linked together to make extremely complex rhythmic sequences.
It can also be synced with other gear like modular synthesizers, drum triggers or old drum machines with a trigger output.
AUDIO INPUT. Any audio signal can be added to a drone and run through the distortion and filters. The input goes through a preamp, so un-amplified signals like a guitar or microphone can be used.
FEATURES:The Drone Lab V2 is based on the architecture of the V1 with a number of substantial improvements.
-Interfacing added. Audio input jack and tremolo clock syncing
-Fine tune pitch control added for each oscillator
-Improved fuzz stage
-Improved and expanded divider/tremolo feature
Oscillator bank.
De-tune and fade the volume of four oscillators to create rich drones.
Audio inputAdd external signals into your drone or use the Lab’s filters and distortion as an FX processor.
Low pass filter
Modify the tone of the oscillator bank and input signal before it goes into the distortion.
Distortion
Adding distortion brings out the phasing rhythm between two or more tones.
Band pass filters
Two slightly resonant band pass filters can be adjusted to drastically alter the tonal character of your sound. Achieve wah-wah and phaser sounds as well as creating classic analog synth filter effects.
Tremolo bank
Add movement to drones and create interlinked pulses and complex sequences. Sync the master tremolo clock to a limitless number of other drone labs to create a rhythmically linked drone orchestra. Alternate clock sources may be used such as modular synth clocks, drum machines, piezo triggers and simple DIY clocks such as the 555 timer.
Battery or wall power
The Drone Lab draws very little power and will work for days straight on a single battery. In the event the you don’t have a battery it can also be powered using a standard 9 VDC wall wort power supply.
Add your own circuits!
It may be small, but a proto area has been added to the board to allow for simple circuit addition. We’ve got oodles of ideas that we’ll post as the project goes on. Hopefully others will contribute their ideas and designs as well."
