Inspired by the Shruti Box

Drone Quest is a contemporary take on the traditional shruti box – reimagined for creative sound design. At its core are two independently controllable voices: the first defines the root tone, while the second can be tuned relative to it.

Both voices can be adjusted separately in volume, allowing for finely tuned sound balances.

Rich Sound Through Harmonic Synthesis

The sound engine of Drone Quest is based on two oscillators that generate complex, rich waveforms by layering harmonic sine waves. These can be shaped, enriched with overtones, saturated with drive, or sonically transformed – for drones with depth and character.

Each oscillator can run independently or be smoothly morphed into the other.

Advanced Modulation for Evolving Soundscapes

Drone Quest offers unique modulation capabilities: every single overtone can be modulated individually – opening up an enormous sonic spectrum, from subtle variations to intense, animated textures.

Up to 301 different LFOs are available, working together or against each other to generate complex, organic movements. These evolving patterns develop over long periods of time without becoming repetitive.
