Modern Instrument Manufacturer, Neuzeit, Launches Drop: A MIDI and CV Controller with Snapshot Functionality, Tailored for... Adjustments
"Gearheads, unite! Next month, the globe's synth enthusiasts will flock to Berlin for Superbooth, the premier event for all things synthesis, drums, sequencing, and controllers."
"This is more than just a trade show; it's the epicenter of innovation in our niche world. And yeah, we can't wait to be there, bringing you live coverage from the action."
"One of the buzzworthy announcements for this year's show is Drop, the initial non-modular release from the esteemed Eurorack brand, Neuzeit Instruments."
"Building on their successful Orbit and Warp modules, Drop promises to be a universal MIDI controller that caters to every need without overpowering your setup or emptying your wallet."
"Sporting 32 rotary encoders, eight mutes, and eight faders, Drop offers versatile control options that can be doubled by toggling between the A and B layers."
"Drop's real charm lies in its snapshot-based functionality. It allows you to store 20 controller snapshots per bank, with a total of 20 banks available. These snapshots can be mapped to up to eight MIDI targets and have individual curves for each destination."
"Drop's unique selling point is the 'Drop mode', which sequences snapshot changes in sync with the internal master clock. This feature enables you to program seamless builds, drops, and transitions across all your gear."
"Alternatively, live performance control is yours with the built-in circular bar counter. Timing is everything in a performance, and Drop helps you take charge with precision."
"Drop supports all MIDI messages (including 14-bit CCs, program change, bank select, aftertouch, and pitchbend), making it a versatile companion for your DAW and other MIDI devices."
"When it comes to connectivity, Drop offers four MIDI In/Out ports via TRS jacks (types A and B), and two USB-C ports with automatic device or host detection."
"Two CV In and two CV Out ports cater to clocks and 0-5V control signals, ensuring all your gear plays nicely together."
"Powered via USB-C or an included external power supply, Drop boasts a rugged metal chassis and metal shaft encoders, making it built to last."
"Get ready to make waves with Drop late summer of 2025. Learn more on Neuzeit Instruments' website."
