SNAZZY FX
one way to set up the DroneBank if you're looking for
optimum beating is to set all oscillators to the same
exact pitch
!
then slowly start turning each Oscillator a tiny bit up
or down in frequency
!
in no time at all you'll be left with a thick single
unison tone, perfect for putting inside of an Ambient
soundscape.
!
!
but don't stop there
as the DroneBank isn't just for single note drones!!!!
(
though it sure is nice to be able to do them for 25 hours straight in the middle of a field with a gigantic sound-system blaring as you
tower above in a gigantic metallic exoskeleton built before everything went dark) !
with five oscillators it's easy to set up chords that drone or
!
!
!
OR pick a fundamental and then add harmonics in series
!
really there are so many ways to use it in A SONG
!
!
another interesting way ???
!
put the mix out through a wave folder or waveshaper!! the folder will have a heck
of a time trying to figure out which parts of the wave to effect.
!
!
you can also feed it into an octave divider or the CV in of a resonant filter
!
non Audio uses include FM modulating a VCO or a filter
!
Kurt Digiorgio uses the DroneBank as a chord machine in conjunction with
VCA's and envelopes. (PLEASE SEE THE FUTURE MUSIC MAGAZINE
