Neuzeit Instruments were a popular name at this year’s Superbooth show thanks to their new creation, the Drop. Set for release later this year, the latest addition to the company’s line-up aims to serve as a master controller for complex live performance rigs.
Connect all your live performance gear to one master controller. 20 banks with 20 snapshots to store and recall the state of all controls. 32 push-encoders without detents, 8 mutes and 8 faders, duplicated on two layers. Two MIDI USB-C ports, automatic device or host detection. Four MIDI Ins and four MIDI Outs via TRS type a or B. Two CV In and two CV Out for clocks and 0–5V control signals Macro mappings, up to eight MIDI targets and individual curves per control. Merge incoming MIDI (eg. from a sequencer) with the Drop‘s MIDI Out. MIDI Clock In/Out with individual millisecond delays to perfectly synchronise all gear. CCs, Notes, 14-bit CCs, Program and Bank change, Aftertouch, Pitchbend. Ableton clip launcher (script available) and note keyboard mode.
