Neutral Labs Scrooge Drum Machine (Eurorack)

We say...

Killer new drum machine from the maker of hit drone synth Elmyra 2!

Manufacturer's description

Scrooge is a sequenced malfunction generator, available as a Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. While you can convince it to deliver boomy kick drum sounds, clicky hi-hats or metallic snares, what it really wants to give you is glitchy artifacts, hollow crackles and horribly distorted growls.

It contains a sophisticated 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.
