DIRTY DRONE LOWLIFE #1 - a subbass/texture generator with trigger/gate input

METSÄÄN: GRM: The Dirty Drone Lowlife is an experimental subbass and drone texture generator. It is housed in a recycled wooden box with a grey aluminum faceplate, both painted with broken hexagon patterns. It can be manually triggered by a TRIGGER button and externally with a TRIGGER/GATE input. The DECAY has a SHORT/LONG switch to select the range and a DECAY pot (works counterclockwise) to fine tune it, from snappy to loooong. An orange LED indicates triggers and the decay. With the DRONE toggle switch it can be set to play a constant drone sound as well. The sound is that of two oscillators each with an array of possible settings: TRIANGLE/SQUARE and CLEAN/DIRTY toggle switches and of course a FREQUENCY control. Oscillator 1 has an additional OFFSET control, that can in the range from also get modulated by external control voltage via the CV input (with an orange indicator LED). Both oscillators are mixed with the BLEND control, that allows to shape the output waveform in a relatively linear manner, but the build in LDRs (Light Dependent Resistors) can also used for that. When they are selected with the BLEND SELECT toggle switch ‘throwing shade’ or ‘shining light’ allows for a non-linear modulation of the blend, by hand gestures for example. The signal then runs through a resonant low pass filter with CUTOFF FREQUENCY, RESONANCE and SATURATION control. In the end of the signal chain is a VOLUME control. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. Size: 14.2 x 14.2 x 6cm (including knobs) Power: 12V DC, barrel connector, center positive (included) Output: mono socket  #METSÄÄN #DIRTYDRONE #ThisMachineKillsFascists
