Impact SoundWorks Circle Drone of Doom

Six raw analog oscillators that can be multiplied, warped, and shaped with the simple turn of a knob or push of a button.

More streamlined and inspiring than an ordinary synth; much more versatile than an ordinary drone.

Capable of killing it on pads or beds, leads, poly synths, even a tight punchy bass - especially dark, dirty, gritty, industrial, and thick sounds.

An off-the-wall collaboration with Look Mum No Computer - perfect for dystopian world-building, crunchy game soundtracks, or to double a modern metal guitar line.

About the Library

We love analog drone synthesizers - they are enormous, imposing, and uncompromising, with absolutely no subtlety, just raw voltage pumped out as colossal, undulating tidal waves of sound.

How do you bring that sonic concept into the virtual realm without losing its essence? And just how far can you take it? That's what ISW set out to answer with this library.

Circle Drone of Doom began life as the titular instrument from Look Mum No Computer.

ISW wanted to keep the killer sound and directness of the real analog hardware, but kept finding more features to add and new ways to improve the workflow.

The result is something that functions a lot like a synth, with much more straightforward controls.

The fun and creative design is meant to inspire you to dive in and get your hands dirty, discovering new sounds as you play with it.

Every knob and setting sounds good (even if "good" sometimes means "massively, brutally chaotic").

Straightforward Controls, Massive Sound

Start with six oscillators with the warm, rich sound you can only get from a 100% analog signal path.

Each oscillator has its own independent tuning, making it easy to get cutting, tightly-tuned leads and basses as well as 3-octave mega-detuned monsters.

Turn the multiply knob for more, more, more (up to 48 voices on a single note) with as much or as little spread and detune as you want.

A multimode filter dripping with character comes next, with easy motion you can introduce using just a single knob turn.

Top it off nicely with three flavors of circuit-modeled distortion and saturation (dark, medium, warm), either just a touch or enough to obliterate the signal into sonic madness.

No complicated UI here, ISW very deliberately added the most impactful controls rather than adding dozens and dozens of knobs and sliders that would just water down and muddy the character and experience of this beast.

A Multitool of Musical Inspiration

Far from a single-use instrument or a straightforward drone, Circle Drone of Doom morphs and shifts to a huge range of sounds within the flavor of its distinctive character.

ISW think it's an ideal companion to their Bundle of Doom. If you're writing modern metal; use it to double your Shreddage 3 Argent leads and heavy riffs.

And if you're building dystopian soundscapes or scoring dungeon crawls, you'll find true cinematic-ready presets ready and waiting for you: big, washy drones; crunchy analog synths; heavy, distorted darkness; massive chaos; unsettling creepiness - to name just a few.
