Today, Neutral Labs introduces Scrooge, a “sequenced malfunction generator” that’s available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or as a standalone semi-modular desktop synth.

What they have to say about it:

“While you can convince it to deliver boomy kick drum sounds, clicky hi-hats or metallic snares, it would much rather be making glitchy artifacts, hollow crackles and horribly distorted growls.

It contains a sophisticated and performance-oriented step sequencer, with parameter locking and the possibility to control all steps across multiple tracks at once.

Its 5 distinct and fully analog voices are made up of special circuits that work without dedicated power supplies, scrounging power from the sequencer control signals instead, which gives them an organic and unstable quality. As a bonus, it means you won’t have to power the unit itself, if you sequence it from external gear.”

Neutral Labs Scrooge Video Demo:

Features:

• 5 distinct analog voices
• Device can work passively without a power supply, if sequenced from external gear
• Each voice can be routed to either of 2 main outputs (headphone compatible)
• Individual voice outputs
• Individual voice CV inputs that respond to audio signals
• 2 modulation tracks, individually routable to voices
• 2 modulation CV inputs
• Onboard step sequencer
  • Parameter locking per step
  • “Control all” mode (change parameters for several steps and tracks at once), great for interactive playing
  • Arbitrary step length per track (up to 64 steps)
  • Generative algorithm builds random variations on patterns (available while performing), or creates random patterns from scratch
  • Pattern chaining (up to 32 patterns)
  • Stores up to 128 patterns in 16 banks
  • Microtiming
  • CV slew limiter per track
• Can sequence external gear
• Sync output
• Sync and reset inputs
• MIDI input (TRS Type A)

Neutral Labs says that the Scrooge is available now, 42 HP Eurorack module priced at $569, and Standalone semi-modular desktop synth priced at $599. Find out more on Neutral Labs site.

Eventide, in collaboration with Third Man Hardware, has introduced Knife Drop, a new effects pedal that merges aggressive octave fuzz with analog synth tones.

The powerful device features presets developed in collaboration with Jack White himself, which they say deliver “bone-rattling distortion and generous heaps of sonic chaos.”

Knife Drop is a sub-octave fuzz and analog synth that can warps and distort your signal, pushing your sound into “uncharted sonic territory”.

It offers five signature presets, dual-octave control, precise filtering, and stereo I/O, allowing you to explore everything from subtle boosts to menacing fuzz, while maintaining total control over your sound.

The synth mix knob lets you blend raw guitar tones with analog synth textures, making this pedal a tool for sonic experimentation.

Knife Drop Demo Video:

Features:

• Rich blend of octave fuzz and analog synth capabilities
• Dual octave control with dedicated footswitch
• Precise filtering options with pre/post distortion routing
• Intuitive preset system with instant recall
• Stereo I/O with switchable guitar/line level inputs
• Flexible expression pedal integration for dynamic control

The Synth Mix knob lets you blend between raw guitar signals and synthesized tones, while the Drive section delivers everything from a subtle boost to intense distortion. The filter section includes responsive envelope control, adjustable resonance, and switchable routing.

Knife Drop features an LED ladder display for precise preset navigation and a secondary function layer that unveils additional sonic territory. The dual I/O configuration supports both mono and stereo operation, while the switchable input accommodates various signal levels for versatile applications, whether onstage or in the studio.

Knife Drop is available now, with an MSRP of $299. A limited-edition yellow model will be offered exclusively on Third Man Records’ website for $333.
