MSF Drop Semi-Modular Analogue Synthesiser & Groovebox
You cannot describe exactly what it is; you can make any kind of music using The DROP, from roots pre-sequences techno to ambient landscapes, from 8-bit craze to pop-style dancy-fancies. And you'll play it live! The DROP is designed to be played, like any other musical instrument.
A self-contained analog groovebox, that uses LFO as a clock generator with divider - no programming needed to get highly complex absolutely crazy neverending and never repeating (analog!) rhythmic galore and fractal textures. Otherwise, it can be triggered manually with a pad, or via external trigger; so it works like a highly sophisticated drum module.
Six unique analog noise osclilators, classic BD generator with old-style analog VCA, sub-octave oscillator with an extra click; all patched (or repatched) to two wide-range LFOs or anything external - via bananas - for neverending rhytmic galore, and then soaked in a specially designed analog saturation. Full, bold, vivid and textured, rich analog sound; because of a highly ingenious, odd and peculiar circuits. Think NOS, discrete, germanium and unobtanium.
Thanks to a fully analogue design The DROP can play the same sequence for hours without being annoying. A vast field for experimentation thanks to a modular design with all its inputs and outputs. You'll lose yourself in a black hole of sounds repatching it even without any external modules. Banana sockets used in The DROP are compatible with any external synths and modules; eurorack or buchla or analog sync; no problem. You can even use bare cable without jacks to patch bananas. What about playing The DROP with jacks touching banana sockets? Did you know that your bare fingers are good for patching it too? Go bananas!
Drop is bringing back the real, instant joy and fun of playing electronic instruments live, for music beyond grids, borders, and programming, that makes an art happen as a reward.
Mad Sound Factory DROP offers a wide range of sounds including kicks, basses, hi-hats, and weird noises. With features such as tone generator, mixer section, noise generator, and two LFOs, The DROP allows for creative patching and modulation possibilities. The instrument also offers a unique DROP button that can trigger sounds and add a fun element to performance. It can be controlled through analog clock signals or MIDI sync. Designed for both live performances and studio use, this instrument offers a wide range of sonic possibilities for musicians looking to experiment with rhythm and sound design. The DROP is pretty compact - it easily fits in a backpack or ordinary shopper or whatever you use to drop your swimsuit to. It can be powered via USB-C from any power bank, phone charger or a laptop, pocket nuclear reactor or even a solar battery, if your star is close enough and you have enough sunny days to play with it. Modern world demands and requirements.
