I (think) I wanna get in to drone. I don't even fully understand what it is, so if I don't seem knowledgable about this, I'm not. I'm looking to get a drone synth or noise generator for under 100 (I think they're similar, but like I said, I know next to nothing on this topic)

Any information on drone in general is also welcome, because, as I have said, I know very little.

Choose any instrument and play the same note over and over on multiple tracks... You can do it with a mic if you can hum...

Maybe look at Monotrons.

Thanks man. that's almost exactly what I was looking for. Out of curiosity, are those analog?

I've thought about those. They're so cheap I'll probably just grab one anyway to check it out.

Unfortunately, I enjoy buying new instruments, and now that I have an excuse to, I'll probably buy one regardless of if it does nothing outside of what my vocal cords could do or not.

Save up another hundred and get one of these...

Or if you're really looking for something inexpensive (like less than a bag of weed inexpensive)

Lots of good info here, too.

I can chime in on the Michael Rucci stuff. Fast shipping and fair prices. And as far as I know they are analog. The maximal drone seems killer, I only have the minimal drone but I like it. It is a bit "softer" than other drone machines, which I like. It becomes more of a pad sound.

I have the Maximal drone and it's a ton of fun. I'd agree that it's a little softer and more pad like but I really enjoy that.

I am now interested/hooked/ordering.

this plus add some effects in the loops is a good option.

any of these boxes plus a delay, and a reverb, and you are SET....

if your into diy, even an atari punk console would work well...

Thanks guys. I think right now the min/maximal drone seems like a good start for me, but I also might get one of the cheapo plastic ones (monotron and gakken)

If you've already got an interesting fx chain, consider a feedback loop....

And if you've got an iPhone and/or iPad, there's LOTS of great apps for cheap that will feed your drone lust...
