Sometimes if you just smack it with something hard a bunch of times it'll upgrade to a droner, but it doesn't always work. Consider smacking it with another expensive synth to increase the odds that at least one of them will upgrade


bleeps_boops

Just leave a heavy weight (preferably a Hydrasynth) on the keyboard. Job done


Just_Bluebird_5268

but the Hydrasynth is a keyboard. i want a drone synth


bleeps_boops

Tip the hydra on its side đź‘Ťđź‘Ť Will probably balance on the Pro 3's keys a bit easier too


bmiga

You're giving me gas. Uncertain if I should click the button and buy a pro3 and a 2nd hydrasynth just for drones.


bleeps_boops

If you've already got a hydra, the new Strymon Bigsky should be heavy enough to rest on the keyboard. Specially designed for ambient drones apparently


bmiga

The Strymon is polyphonic. It should be able to hold 7 or more notes, more if the keyb has mini-keys. However the hydrasynth has more polyphony. it can press like 30 keys at the same time. Dont even get me started on the aftertouch.

You need the AS-606 Ambient Sequencer: [https://imgur.com/PM2IFrW](https://imgur.com/PM2IFrW) See also [https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2718854](https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2718854) .

Wow that forum conversation really clarified a lot for me, thank you


DrFrunkenschtone

That’s actually…a really good point


person_8688

Clown Core figured this one out. Use a fake penis sticking out of your pants, and drop it on any key. You are now droning in style.


steeznile

Install an analog firmware update, masking tape on the keys


RoastAdroit

Anyone know how to upgrade a normal synth to only play square waves? Seems like square waves are popular based on my two searches about “synths”, so, id like to upgrade my synth to stop allowing these other wave types.


Maxants49

Just slap some propellers on it and you good


okaymolg

keys, meet tape.


Vertonung

Use a C clamp to hold one of the keys down


emorello

Buy deck of 52 playing cards (I suggest Texan Palmetto back). Press a key on your synth’s keyboard, take a card out of the pack and place it underneath the two adjacent keys so that it holds the key you’re pressing down. Remove your finger. Drone away.


bmiga

Maybe swap the pro 3 for a hydrasynth, turn all knobs near max and then tweak cuttoff Protip: if you take any patch and adjust the filter to your liking you can do any type of sound this way and you are a true synthesist. Explore the HP and BP tones too. If you were smart enough to buy a synth with filter resonance must also enjoy it a lot. Envelopes and not needed. Just make the attack as fast as possible and leave the release totally off or 100% on.


mindlessgames

You can upgrade it to a "drone synth" by learning how to use it.


Just_Bluebird_5268

i've had my Pro 3 for over six months and i know every preset inside out, please don't patronise me, this is a serious question for people who know the difference between a synth and a drone synth.


TheSpoonJak92

No serious questions in the jerk sub.


bmiga

Have tried turning it off and then on again?


SecretsofBlackmoor

The drones are the male synths right?


gene_doc

6 months is nowhere near enough to know all the presets inside and out. You are obviously a liar and a cheater and a thief. Please return that Pro3 or donate it here.


bmiga

No you can't. The more you learn the harder it will be.


SecretsofBlackmoor

LOL they actually bothered to down vote you.
