"Designed for composers, sound designers, and musicians, Drone is a creative instrument that delivers constantly evolving textures and atmospheres, from deep and powerful low-end ambiences to rich and shimmering environments.
Outfit a dual-layer sample synth with hundreds of included long-format samples, turn them into mesmerizing textures with the IRCAM Granular engine, add depth, grit, and detail with built-in effects like Swarm, Feedback Loop and Harmonics, and easily craft movement to taste with a customizable XY controller, and Chaos or LFO modulators. Drone is a fully-featured tool expressly designed to create rich and detailed sonic environments and sound effects with endless movement and variety.
At a high-level Drone is a multilayer sample/granular synth with unison, feedback loop, harmonic modulator, manual and automated parameter animation, professional-quality bus effects, a 32-step gate sequencer, true surround sound engine*, and native MPE integration, fueled by an exclusive library of long-format samples designed specifically for drone and soundscape creation.
Whether you're looking to quickly browse presets for inspiration or craft your own sound from concept, Drone's interface is structured to provide what you need when you need it..."
"First exploration with the new 0-CTRL from Makenoise. Paired up with the 0-Coast and the combination of the 2 definitely makes for a fun sonic playground.
Using all 3 rows of the 0-CTRL with the pitch row being sent to v/oct input of the 0-Coast, the strength row to the overtone input and the dynamic gate to the gate input of the contour generator.
The interaction of the dynamic gate and contour generator is incredibly nuanced and responsive. There is also some subtle animation of the time row to coax a a little bit of groove out of the timing. Across the recording there is manual manipulation of the balance between triangle wave and the more complex square/waveshaped inputs, as well as some adjustment of contour parameters.
The recording is a single-take recorded through the Strymon TimeLine and BigSky FX. It takes advantage of the NonLinear algorithm of the BigSky which is a gated early reflection reverb. Reminds me of some of the FX you could get out of the venerable Yamaha SPX-90 back in the day, though much less grainy! The video is also a single take so that you can see the played interaction with the 0-CTRL.
Looking forward to exploring this new controller much more."
In this video we'll start from ZER0 to talk about what synthesizers are and how they work, using the oscillator and other circuits in the 0-Coast and 0-CTRL to demonstrate. You don't need to know ANYTHING about synthesis to understand this video, but even experienced synthesists might get something out of it!
2. Starting from Zer0: What is Patching?
In this video we'll go over the basic terminology of the interface of the 0-CTRL and 0-Coast.
3. Starting from Zer0: Dynamics!
"In the previous 'Starting from Zer0' videos we talked about oscillations and patching, and this time we’re going to talk about dynamics. Is this the most important concept in synthesis? No, all the important concepts are too inter-related for there to be one most important concept, but dynamics is maybe more easily overlooked in music and in synthesis than pitch or rhythm, while being at least as important to creating sounds and making music.
