DIRTY DRONE SIRENSONG - a drone/noise synth with haptic control, 2 LFOs and resonant high+ low pass filter

The METSÄÄN DIRTY DRONE SIRENSONG is by far the most complex version of the DIRTY DRONE concept as of now. The 10x10cm machine is build in a narrow ‘sandwich style’ with a circuit board that contains all the components and a panel, the solder points underneath are accessible for ‘laying hands’ style circuit bending. DDS contains 3 oscillators, 2 of them modulated by an individual LFO and one for something like a base frequency. Each of the 3 oscillators has a FREQUENCY control, a 3 position toggle switch that selects the FREQUENCY RANGE (high/almost ultrasound/low), a DISTORTION slide switch accessible on the right dent in the panel, as well as a MOMENTARY TACT SWITCH that ‘hardwires’ the 2 BODY_CONTACTS per oscillator. the momentary switches and the body-contacts are, much like the oscillators themselves very interactive and let you play/control with the chaos. The 2 LFOs each have an ON/OFF slide switch, accessible from the left dent in the panel, a SPEED control with UV indicator LED (that stay on, even when the LFO is disengaged), a FAST and (very) SLOW toggle switch and a depth control. The filter section can be used individually for external inputs via a 3.5mm mono input socket on the backside (left) of the machine, when the drone/noise section is switched disengaged with it’s ON/OFF slide switch that is accessible from the dent on the right side of the panel. Of course drone/noise can also be mixed with external signals. The filter section has a volume control for the HIGH FREQUENCY and the LOW FREQUENCY spectrum and lets you of course mix both. Each of the FREQUENCY VOLUME pots starts to overdrive the filter from it’s 12 o’clock position, from warm saturation to harsher sounds. The biggest knob on the device is the CUTOFF FREQUENCY control and then there is the RESONANCE control that let you further shape the sound. With the RESONANCE BOOST, that gets engaged by a toggle switch, the filter can self oscillate. The OUTPUT is, like the 12V DC (center positive) power socket also on the backside (right) of the machine. Next to it on the side, is a little trim pot that attenuates the global output volume, so you can adjust it to the rest of your equipment. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN.
