The Drone Machine is basic 4 oscillator noise machine with a ton of options for variation. It’s controlled by a joystick that can be simply used to trigger each of the oscillators, but combined with the other options and effects make this think a blast to play. It has a huge variety of sound, some intentional and, even better, some that I wasn’t expecting to create).
The Drone Machine
I’m in process of recording some sound samples and putting together a demo video. Should be up in a week or so (I’m on vacation).
Here’s a quick video of the completed Photo Trans-Actovator. As you can see this thing is highly sensitive to light. In the demo I’m using my hands to shadow the photo sensors and also turning on and off ambient light will have a drastic effect. enjoy.
After several setbacks and modification the trans-activator has been finished. I’m still realizing the potential of this device and I can’t wait to get some serious recording time with it.
