DRONE

COMMANDER

With a total of 9 knobs, the Drone Commander offers two manually-
tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty
ﬁlter.

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

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.

Both LFOs can be routed to the ﬁlter for rhythmic patterns. A line-level
output jack is provided for connection to ampliﬁers or effects.

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

Let the DRONE COMMANDER provide a backing chord for your musical
improvisations.

Blast the atmosphere with penetrating BASS FREQUENCIES.

Connect EFFECT PEDALS such as Phaser, Delay, and Chorus to deepen the
drone effect.

Relax with HARMONIOUS DRONES and BUBBLING SOUNDSCAPES.
