Maneco Labs Mini Grone

Drone VCO

The Mini Drone Generates sound based on equations converted to analog signals, there are sixteen equations selected by the up and down switches. The four leds on the front panel indicate the equation number in binary mode.

The three pots on the panel modify numbers used by the equation, A0, A1 and A2. The fourth pot sample rate controls the pitch and speed of the oscillation. There is an output level control for the oscillator and a dedicated jack for patching the oscillator as a sound source to other external modules.

In addition to that there is a dedicated white noise generator with a level control and noise output jack.

VCF

MS20 resonant low pass filter with cut frequency control, resonance and modulation 1. There are dedicated input and output jacks and a second cv input jack for the cut off labeled MOD2.

LFO1 & 2

The low frequency oscillator is routed to the MOD1 functionality from the vcf, rate and waveform shape control pots. This is combined with routing to delay block 1.

The selectable waveforms are: ramp up, ramp down, square, triangle, sine , sweep, random levels, random slopes
The LFO2 has been strategically routed to delay block 2, rate and the waveform shape control pots.

DELAYS

Within the module there are 2 delay lines in parallel sharing their feedback with dedicated blend controls.
The dedicated controls are described on the front panel as time 1 and mod 1 and control delay block 1. Time 2 and mod 2 are, as you would expect, controlling delay block 2.
