Excellent little drone synth

For Drone Boy 2

Simple little 3 oscillator drone synth that sounds great by itself but absolutely amazing though effects. This is going to be a whole lot of fun...Sid builds some of the most interesting stuff for making music on tindie and is a really friendly helpful guy...👍

Excellent, inventive and well made

For Black Box

The Black Box is brilliant. It arrived really quickly. It's superbly well made and great value. I've already had some hours of experimenting with it. Lots of potential for soundscapes and ambiences.

Clever, fun little device

For Lo-Fi Sampler 2

A real fun little device for mangling short samples and creating feedback. Well built and easy to use - it's even got a built-in mic for field recording...I've only had it a day and I haven't stopped playing...!

Fantastic Little 3 Voice Drone, Totally Dope!

For Alvearium

If you're looking for an awesome little drone for yourself or perhaps to give as a gift, Alvearium is AWESOME! Sounds fantastic, very engaging, and you can even alter the sounds via touch pads, which is so cool. Alvearium actually means "HIVE", and that it is, just like a bee hive. You can make the hive some busy or calm, peaceful or angry. Every drone lover needs an Alvearium or two, to keep or give as presents. Outstanding construction. Easy to build an enclosure for - if that is something you enjoy. Excellent packing and very FAST shipping from the Czechia Republic, usually in less than two weeks to the U.S. Amazing! Dedicated and creative boutique synth maker is TOP SHELF in all respects. Outstanding communication. A pleasure to purchase from and support. Thank you, Sid Rockett!

Surprisingly rich sonic palette

For Alvearium

Love it! I haven't even connected it to an effect processor (that will be the next session), only played with it on headphones, and already lost track of time exploring the textures. There seem to be endless combinations of those pots that give something interesting, and the keyboard can influence it a bit for more fun. The parcel arrived very fast (to Ireland), well packed. Overall, very happy. I'd buy a larger version with more knobs and voices in an instant, if you create something like that ;)

Great things can come in small packages

For Alvearium

The Alvearium is pretty simple but capable of a wide range of sounds. Pair it with an external effect and it can be pretty amazing. Really well put together and fast shipping to the UK...Not a whole lot of documentation but you don't need it - there's a couple of good videos on the devs YouTube channel - anyway, it's really fun and rewarding to experiment...!

Amazing lo-fi drone with unexpected effects

For Drone Boy

I love the fact that the different capacitors provided allow the user to experiment. I found that using one low pitched oscillator and 2 LFO rate capacitors makes for quite an interesting rhythmic effect.

While pushing this thing to the limits I may have found an undocumented feature. If you set the gain just right, you can get a sweet spot (what I'm calling "ultra mode"). It sounds quite distorted (and there's a small range of distortion to play with), and if you set it *just* right, this distortion can be seemingly modulated by touching the ground connection (in my case, the metal chassis of my attached speaker). This makes for an interesting "live performance" playability to the instrument that's not just turning the knobs. I suspect that playing around with voltage sag on this might also yield some interesting effects (and perhaps add a level of CV like control, if you can systematically affect the voltage sag)


Thank you Sid Rockett for making this thing and at such an affordable price. I look forward to trying out some of the other products soon

Edit: you can also use the LFO rate pulses as a trigger for drum synths like Bastle Kastle

Great for Bastle Kastles

For Touch

I bought one and when I finally got around to using it, I ordered two more for the other 2 flavors of Bastle Kastle. This will be much more fun for experimenting with wired patches to use (and live performance) when you are the patch cable

Neat for unexpected found sounds

For Far Field

The stereo effect is nice, it lets me zone in on a found sound. I need to make some samples with this thing

postage too high, its 50% of products price

For Invaders Must Die

Overall a diecent piece of pocket gear, had fun building it a case, its very easy to use and just plug and play, also standalone option, plug it to your headphones or a speaker and you are good to go, your girlfrend will hate you for it, its lots of fun.
