The sound design team for Drone, which included Soundbytes own writer Vincenzo Bellanova, has done an outstanding job in making a wide-ranging set of sound textures and waveforms to treat with Drone’s wide range of effects and modifications. It’s best to think of Drone as a stand-alone sound design module that lives inside the Workstation/Falcon framework, and not as another kind of sampling machine/program. But after I played with the incredibly rich set of sound sources in the program (and of course I didn’t have time to go through all 550+ samples supplied with the program), that disappointment disappeared. At first, when I saw that the program didn’t allow you to load your own samples, I was disappointed – in theory. And then, with the features inside the program, all sorts of modifications can be made to the sound sources. UVI Drone is one of a number of programs which supply a rich set of long-duration premade samples which feature interesting sound textures – another one these is the Eclipse/Orbit pair from Wide Blue Sound. Multiple instances of the program are supported in both UVI Workstation and Falcon, so you could treat Drone as a complex oscillator for uber-complex additive synthesis as well. And knowing that UVI has, for the most part, supported micro-tuning before in their sound sets for Falcon, I got doubly excited because, for me, being able to precisely tune sounds, even non-pitch-oriented ones, is an essential part of any sound design that I do.ĭrone, in Falcon, allows you to apply micro-tunings to your patches (using the Events tab in Falcon), and the patching inside the program allows all sorts of fine-tuning (very fine tuning – I stopped testing at 0.1 cents per step) to the individual samples. Over the years, I’ve made a lot of pieces which can fairly be described as “Drones” and quite a few pieces that have “Textures” in them. When I first heard about Drone, the new “Texture and Atmosphere” designer from UVI, I got very excited. Looking for a feature-packed toolkit to make striking sound textures? Look no further.
