FOUR-VOICE ROTATING DRONE · HALF CONCRETE

Dr.Øne

DenverSynthLabs’ easiest synth to lose hours to.

Half of Dr.Øne is concrete. Musique concrète began when people cut, slowed, reversed and looped recorded sound until it stopped being a recording and became an instrument. Dr.Øne is the other half: four voices that hold a chord forever, then rotate or instantly transpose to take you somewhere fresh. Play it by hand, with a hardware controller or the mouse, and don’t be surprised when it’s three hours later.

Dr.Øne plugin GUI
  • Four voices, each with PITCH (±12), a WAVE knob that morphs through saw, sine, square and pulse, an OCT switch, an FX SEND and a fader — with a live note name and cents readout on every channel
  • ROTATE moves a voice by a chosen interval, and ROTATE ALL moves the whole drone at once. The STEP switch picks 7, 5 or 11 semitones, all coprime with 12, so a voice visits all twelve notes before it repeats
  • A tape-style FX return: delay and spring recorded onto a moving tape, with WEAR, SATURATE and LENGTH, plus FREEZE, HALF (half-speed that really slows what's already on the tape) and REVERSE
  • Delay time, feedback, LFO mod and rate, spring decay and tone, FX return, drive, cross mod, drift, glide and tune — with FX ROUTE to run spring into delay, delay into spring, or both in parallel
  • THROB for a slow pulsing swell, and an LFO RATE that can sync to the host, follow pitch, or run free
  • Built to be played from a Novation Launch Control or Launch Control XL, with MIDI learn on the controls and LED feedback back to the controller

HALF CONCRETE · HALF DRONE

The easiest way to lose an afternoon.

Hold a chord. Nudge a pitch, hit ROTATE, and walk away. When you come back the drone has gone somewhere you didn’t plan, and you’ll want to follow it. Nobody sets out to spend an evening on one patch. It just happens.

Experimentation

Four voices, each with its own wave, octave and send, rotating by intervals that visit every note. There are no wrong moves, only places you haven’t been yet.

The concrete half

The tape return is the old studio toolkit: FREEZE lifts a slice of tape into a loop, HALF drops the tape to half speed, REVERSE walks the heads backwards, and WEAR and SATURATE rough up the oxide.

Beauty

Slow harmonies that bloom out of nothing but held notes, delay and spring washing through them, drifting a little out of tune the way beautiful things do.

Art

Make a bed for a film, a pad for a set, an hour of ambient for no reason at all. Dr.Øne asks nothing of you but your attention, and it gives hours back as music.
