While building the DDvers.2.0, i developed a mutation of the original circuit, that resulted in quite a chaotic / unruly / stochastic sound. And i decided to make some of them, thinking that maybe we need a bit more of the non-governability in the devices that usually simulate - users being in control, when we ourselves are rarely even in control of ‘how we are living’. The face plate depicts some of anarchist theory’s grandparents Emma Goldmann, Mikhail Bakunin + Peter Kropotkin. That said the DIRTY DRONE [anarchy] vers2.1. is hard to control, there are a lot of unexpected behaviors and sounds. All in all it is versatile in it’s waveform output, with patience you will get everything from drone, hum + buzz to pulses, clicks + squeals.
The 3 triangle wave oscillators (OSC), that are highly interactive with each other in a stochastic manner create a wide array of wave forms by a number of different modulations, from subtle to harsh. 3 FREQUENCY control pots control the pitch of OSC1,2+3. Toggle switches select a high or a low RANGE setting for OSC2+3. OSC1 has a DEPTH toggle switch and OSC2 has an additional toggle switch to disable the DISTORT2 pot. OSC2+3 have a dedicated DISTORT control pot, that depending on the other settings, add a bit ‘edge’ to their wave forms. The 6 BODYCONTACTS let you become part of the circuit. When you touch them the conductivity of your skin becomes a further way of modulating the sounds. The FILTER, which is depending on the status of the rest of the settings is also highly reactive to internal modulations. BLEND allows a mix between LOW PASS and HIGH PASS of the FILTER section. FILTER adjusts the cutoff-frequency of the RESONANT LOW PASS FILTER with a RESONANCE control. VOLUME controls the global volume. The OUTPUT is fa 3.5mm stereo socket (the signal is MONO, meaning both channels carry the same signal). The device has a ultraviolet power indicator LED. By the way, the circuit board is ‘hackable’ on both sides are solder points for the OSCs individual outputs and a prefilter-sum as well as connections for external switching (they override the 4 toggle switches). You could use for example tilt-switches or integrate gate-inputs for sequencing.
