DC-2’s front panel features a low-glare brushed aluminum finish, anodized, in both silver (natural) and black. This module requires a rear clearance depth of 72 mm behind the rails in your euro case. The DC power requirement is 120 mA (+12 V), 2.5 mA (-12 V).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost all of the DC-2 circuitry is exactly as in the DC-2e, with minor updates. Notably, the v\/oct inputs have been re-organized. DC-2 has two 1V\/oct inputs, and a 15v\/oct input suitable for pitch bender or vibrato modulation — all three v\/oct inputs affect both VCO 1 and 2 simultaneously. This differs from the DC-2e, which has separate 1v\/oct inputs for each oscillator, plus one 1v\/oct input that affects both.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother noteworthy update to the DC-2 is an increase in dynamic range, less noise, and hotter audio outputs at both the ¼” and 3.5mm output jacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe published user manual for the DC-2e also applies to DC-2, except for whats mentioned above! (link to manual)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDrone Commander 2 is an all-analog synth voice module. It incorporates two VCOs, two VCFs, two synchronized sawtooth LFOs, a special dual sinewave LFO dedicated to VCO PWM, an attack-release envelope generator that controls low pass gate, and a triggered variable shape ‘Slide’ LFO. There are 12 control voltage I\/O patch points, 4 clock and gate I\/Os, 2 audio outputs, and 1 audio input. All 12 solid metal knobs double as push-pull switches for secondary functions such as signal routing, envelope gate on\/off, and filter mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm, dark, and unique tone of DC-2 is attributable to extensive use of discrete transistor OTAs in its circuits – 86 discrete transistors in all – and no generic synth chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rarewaves.net\/products\/dc2\/\" target=\"blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/rarewaves.net\/products\/dc2\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RARE WAVES GRENDEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41905223631021,"sku":"rare-waves-drone-commander-dc-2-2022-black","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/products\/dc2-black-817-2.jpg?v=1665068179","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/rare-waves-grendel-drone-commander-dc-2-2022-black","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
