Published on Oct 25, 2015 EA78751

"Here is a side-scrolling scope view of some interesting LFO waveforms, and a soundtrack of rhythmically modulated analog drone sounds. It was generated with a prototype version of the upcoming Grendel Drone Commander 2 Eurorack synthesizer module.

Drone Sound 2015 - Eric Archer Working on Follow-up to the Drone Commander

Published on Jun 4, 2015 EA78751

"Working hard in the lab to discover a worthy successor to Drone Commander. Kept the original filter, but updated the rest. Added full voltage control, a second filter, and a very funky LFO. Maybe this is it?"

"Red faceplate! No longer being manufactured! Like New Condition, Beautiful And Eerie Drone Synth built in an old Ammo Box..what’s not to love!

With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects."

Grendel DC-2e Drone Commander 2 - Eurorack (official)

Published on Mar 3, 2016 EA78751

"This video walks through getting started with the Grendel DC-2e Drone Commander 2, beginning with using the Main Module by itself (0:30).

Next, see how to control it from a MIDI keyboard, using the Expander module and a MIDI-CV converter (3:40).

A self-patch that gives additional filter modulation is demonstrated (5:35). After that, one of the MIDI-CV converter’s auxiliary CV outputs is patched in to control DC-2e’s LFO rate with the MIDI mod wheel (7:00).

The next section demonstrates VCF 1’s self-oscillation (8:35), including how to cancel the filter’s self-oscillation so only the dry tone of the VCOs is heard (9:50). Then, VCF 1 is set up as a third oscillator, creating a constant-pitched drone note to accompany melody played on the VCOs (10:50).

Last, some examples of pitch modulation using the MOD knob are shown (11:40), leading to full-on crazy town.

Grendel Drone Commander DC-2E, mellow

Published on Nov 19, 2015 EA78751

"By reqest, a demo of the mellower side of the upcoming Grendel DC-2E Drone Commander 2 eurorack module, illustrating its sonic relationship to the earlier version. Patching CV from the keyboard to OSC1 lets one play a melody, while OSC2 maintains a steady pitched low pulsing drone.. Also in the mix are several tracks of pedal tones from DC-2E to thicken up the sound. Sawtooth waveforms were used throughout."

There's no excuse for this listening test: there are no excuses for this video: I need a audio feedback on the Grendel to start modeling the circuit by software on my web magazine ;-) www.audiocentralmagazine.com"
