Maneco Labs Grone Genesis

An accessible source of drone textures in many sonic colours.

24 HP Eurorack module

A drone-texture Eurorack module combining four blendable oscillators, noise, a transistor-ladder filter, two modulation LFOs, an analog-voiced delay, and output distortion.

Features

  • Four blendable drone oscillators with global pitch control and switchable pitch modulation.
  • Noise generator with mix control.
  • Transistor-ladder Moog VCF with an external input and external CV modulation.
  • Analog-voiced delay capable of self-oscillation.
  • Two LFOs: a square-or-triangle LFO for filter modulation and a triangle LFO dedicated to delay-time modulation.
  • Output overdrive and distortion for heavily clipping the resulting audio.

Controls & Jacks (26)

  • Rez— Sets filter resonance by controlling regeneration around the filter peak.
  • TRI-SQR— Selects a triangle or square waveform for LFO 1 filter modulation.
  • Delay Mod— Sets the amount of LFO 2 modulation applied to delay time.
  • 3-4 Mix— Sets the combined level of oscillators 3 and 4 in the internal mix.
  • Main Output— Provides the module's main audio output after delay, overdrive, and output-level processing.
  • Fback— Sets delay feedback, controlling repeats and recirculation up to self-oscillation.
  • O2— Sets the frequency of drone oscillator 2.
  • Noise Level— Blends the white-noise generator with the oscillator mix.
  • Filter Input— Accepts an external audio signal for processing by the transistor-ladder filter.
  • Filter CV— Accepts control voltage for the filter cutoff frequency.
  • Global Pitch— Globally tunes all four drone oscillators.
  • Filter Mod— Sets the amount of LFO 1 modulation applied to the filter cutoff frequency.
  • 1-2 Mix— Sets the combined level of oscillators 1 and 2 in the internal mix.
  • Overdrive— Sets the output clipping amount for overdrive and distortion.
  • Filter Output— Provides the independent audio output of the transistor-ladder filter.
  • Delay— Blends the delayed signal with the dry signal.
  • Pitch CV Input— Accepts external control voltage for global oscillator pitch modulation.
  • LFO1— Sets the speed of LFO 1, which modulates the filter cutoff frequency.
  • LFO2— Sets the speed of the triangle-wave LFO 2 dedicated to delay-time modulation.
  • O1— Sets the frequency of drone oscillator 1.
  • O4— Sets the frequency of drone oscillator 4.
  • Time— Sets the delay time up to approximately 600 milliseconds.
  • Pitch Modulation— Switches global oscillator pitch modulation on or off.
  • O3— Sets the frequency of drone oscillator 3.
  • Cut— Sets the cutoff frequency of the transistor-ladder low-pass filter.
  • Output Level— Sets the global main-output audio level.
