Dronebox, custom drone synthesizer

>> 3 squarewave oscillators from Schmitt trigger inverters :: custom stripboard circuit, each stage [offset, RC filter, mix] adjusted via trimpots, arriving at the final sound design of this dronebox. // for Gerrit

The enclosure is built from 3mm mild steel, hand-engraved with a tuning screwdriver and lacquered, paired with lasercut 3mm frosted acrylic. Three refurbished slider potentiometers are joined along a single wooden stick, letting them be played as one gestural control. Audio runs out through a 3.5mm jack, powered by a 2x AA battery pack repurposed from a string of fairy lights.
