Update via frederic:
"it seems to be basically a Moog 55 almost complete blended with some others Moog modules coming from a 15 system. But there is also some others things, like what seems to be a patch matrix"

-Audio input with Envelope Follower - input preamp with variable decay enevelope follower (EnvFlw based on SynTom ideas)
-Ring Modulator - using the AD633 multiplier chip
-3 x Voltage Controlled Oscillators (plus Low Freq Osc) - three powerful VCOs (based around the Thomas Henry XR2206 VCO) that can also run at low freqs for modulation, offering tri / sin / sqr waveforms, plenty of modulation and sync function.
-Voltage Controlled Filter - state variable (Lo / Band / Hi response) resonant filter with modulation and two audio inputs
-Digi-delay - based around the PT2399 digital delay chip that can be cranked down into very noised-up territories.
-2 x Voltage Inverters - for audio or CVs

Update via Tom Bugs in the comments:
"Hey, thanks a bunch!

I've been battling with learning Avid Free DV to get some videos of playing the Drone Machine -- just uploaded the first one onto YouTube and its now embedded on the Bugbrand sound devices page: link"

"Features:

Wide-range audio oscillator with separate volume, coarse and fine tuning

Extra oscillator at A 440 for tuning

Noise generator

Filter with cutoff frequency control and resonance control, "keyboard" CV control, and envelope control

ADSR envelope generator which can control the VCA, the VCF or both

LFO with frequency control that can be directed to the oscillator (vibrato), the filter, or the amp (tremolo)... or all at once. The LFO has an LED indicator to indicate frequency.

VCA with initial gain (Hold) knob, which allows you to control the knobs and sliders of the synth without having to hold a note on the keyboard and an ADSR knob to control how much the envelope shapes the volume of the synthesizer.

2.5 octave keyboard

Variety of outputs including RCA and quarter inch. Level control switch, hard or soft tone switch.

Small size and light weight, excellent for playing at gigs when you don't want to tote a large, heavy, or temperamental analog synth to a gig."
