Neuzeit Instruments Drop Drop from Neuzeit Instruments is a powerful master MIDI controller designed for live performance, enabling tempo-locked changes to many simultaneous settings for impactful moments on stage. The amount of individual control elements on Drop is expansive, boasting thirty-two detented push-encoders, eight mutes, and 8 faders which can provide two sets of controls on layers A and B. Macro controls enable you to adjust up to eight controls on a single knob, drastically increasing the control potential of Drop. Once you've assigned these controls how you'd like for your live set, Drop gives you twenty banks each with twenty snapshot scenes that can be recalled during performance. For immediate changes, you can Jump directly to a snapshot, or use the Drop mode to schedule your snapshot at the end of a set amount of beats or bars. Drop mode lets you go wild with effects to create risers and transitions without needing thirty-two hands to change settings when it's time for the bass to come back in. Even beyond dance music, the ability to create huge changes to a MIDI-enabled set-up with Drop enables more daring musical gestures in electronic performances, letting you go further with your creative ideas and connect more deeply to your audience. Meant to sit at the center of your live workflow, Drop features versatile connectivity to empower nearly any set-up. Two USB-C ports and four sets of TRS MIDI inputs and outputs make it easy to connect a large number of devices, with onboard CV inputs and outputs to control modular or vintage synthesizers. You can also merge an incoming MIDI signal from your primary sequencer or controller with Drop's output, ensuring you always have the controls you need without the need for additional utilities. Along with these over-the-top capabilities, Drop is built to inspire for years to come, with a solid metal chassis and metal shaft encoders that impart a premium feel to every set. Take your live sets to the next level with comprehensive control that moves to your groove with Drop from Neuzeit Instruments.
