Dr_001.wav

Dr_Z

Drone sound created with a Korg Monotron Duo and Ableton Live 8, using Live's built in effects.

The start is a low volume drone with lots of hiss (line noise). Then a deeper rumbling drone comes on top of the initial sound and at some point seems like a ship horn. Towards the end the sound is more sci-fi.

Monotron was connected to the laptop soundcard input and Live's effects were used to liven up the sound and to add reverb.
I think the cable I used to connect the monotron to the computer is noisy. I know the monotron itself is quite noisy, but this cable seems to make it worse. So there is quite a bit of hiss in the recording. Sorry about that.

Nice buzz, does sound like a ship horn.
Reminds me of war of the worlds cinematic scenes.
Cool sounds alien!
