Tangible Waves - Mini Drone System [NB Special]

A small but powerful drone system of Tangible Waves modules, including:

POWER - the most simple base of an AE modular system. Contains the voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules, two stereo In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and general in/out like CV, gate, a stereo headphone amplifier

DRONE38 - a sound generator with 18 oscillators in total, organized in six groups of three oscillators each. 12 of them can be switched between sawtooth and triangle waves, 6 are fixed sawtooth oscillators. The oscillators are not meant to be controlled by CVs, but only set static with a knob. By mixing them, very dense drones and clusters can be created.

DRONX - a special mixer designed especially for the DRONE38 module; it has 6 input channels with sound processing capabilities: a tone control with bass and treble control, a distortion, and finally a dual delay with different algorithms.

2VCA - contains two separate voltage controlled amplifiers; the classic module to shape the volume of a sound that is fed to IN by a control voltage, e.g. from an ENV to the CV input. DC/CV or audio operation modes, an additional knob per VCA for attenuation.​

SVFILTER - offers control of cutoff frequency, resonance and CV attenuation; two signal inputs for different signal levels control the "drive" of the module. This filter has a significant self resonance and also a very quick response to cutofffrequency changes. LP, BP, and HP output.

LFO (2x) - generates modulation voltages mostly below the audio range. PWM modulation for the Pulse out, two frequency ranges (SLOW / FAST), three separate output signals: Square (even duty cycle), TRIANGLE/Sawtooth (switchable), Pulse

NOISE - two types of noise with A output generating analog noise (a fluctuating voltage between about 1-4V) and D output generating digital noise, (a random changing 0V / 5V). The RATE knob controls the color of the noise, which goes from almost white noise to a rather harsh and digital sound.​

2S&H - "freezes" the input voltage with a trigger input. Typically used for random CV patterns if a noise signal is fed to the input and triggered e.g. by an LFO.

2ATT/CV - simple level attenuation for any kind of signal. Voltage mode switch gives manually controllable CV on the outputs, the INV outputs provide the inverted value of the input.

System is pre-built into a 1x16 Bamboo case and includes switchable 9V PSU, 2 packs of patchwire, and 1 pack of colored knobs.
