With SHAPE turned counterclockwise, the LFO sends a minimal ‘blip’ to the Filter with each cycle. The PULSE knob controls the depth of square wave modulation to the Filter. The SHAPE knob controls the influence of the LFO on the Filter. This produces a more consistent sound level with less rhythmic information. Pull up the LFO knob to cancel he connection from LFO to Filter. Turn the LFO knob clockwise for slowest motion. This motion reveals the harmonic overtones from OSC 1 and OSC 2. It creates a sawtooth waveform that affects the Filter’s center frequency, sweeping it upward or downward. LFO The main LFO (low-frequency oscillator) adds movement to the Filter. Even with the oscillators muted, the LFO, Pulse, and Filter are still audible and can be used for sound effects. Pull up on the MIX knob to mute the oscillators. Turn the MIX knob counterclockwise to hear more of OSC 1. MIX The MIX knob blends the output of OSC 1 and OSC 2 like a crossfader. Pull up the OSC 1 (or OSC 2) knob to select the triangle wave, which has a more mellow tone. Each oscillator offers the choice of square or triangle waveform. Turn OSC 1 (or OSC 2) clockwise to increase the pitch. SOUND PARAMETERS OSC 1 and OSC 2 The Drone Commander’s oscillators are tuneable up to ~370 Hz, corresponding to F# above middle C. When battery is installed, unit will automatically change over to AC power when adapter is connected. Protection against reverse-polarity is built-in.

The included AC adapter provides 9VDC, center positive 2.1mm connection. The hinges in the lid will slide apart.Įffect pedals or other audio processing can be connected between the Drone Commander and the amplifier.ĪPPLYING POWER The Drone Commander operates on 9VDC from either a standard 9V battery or AC adapter.Īlternatively, connect the Drone Commander’s main output to an input channel on a mixer or computer’s sound card. Pull the lid towards you, and push the other half away from you. Use a 1/4” audio cable such as a guitar lead to connect the main output of the Drone Commander to an amplifier. Grab the lid with your left hand, and the body of the instrument with your right hand. REMOVING THE LID Unclasp the lid and swing it out to fully open position. Relax with HARMONIOUS DRONES and BUBBLING SOUNDSCAPES. Rare Waves LLC Austin, Texas, USA GDC Operator Instructions v2 © 2012Ĭonnect EFFECT PEDALS such as Phaser, Delay, and Chorus to deepen the drone effect. Blast the atmosphere with penetrating BASS FREQUENCIES. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS Let the DRONE COMMANDER provide a backing chord for your musical improvisations. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns.

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. Six of the Drone Commander’s nine knobs double as push-pull switches to control signal routing and waveform selection.
