Products of Cutlasses
Cutlasses is the solo project of maker and musician, Scott Pitkethly. A
sound art project which seeks to integrate the process of creating music
with the process of making the sound creation tools themselves. The
compositions combine field recordings, recorded from various sites
around the British Isles, which are heavily manipulated using DIY
electronic controllers and effects he has designed and built himself,
 accompanied by live guitar drones and melodies. Taking cues from the
world of sound art and horror film soundtracks but always trying to
apply pop sensibilities, the result is lush and cinematic soundscapes
topped with delicate melody. As of late 2024, Cutlasses have started to
sell their own modules, starting with Gloop.

Gloop is a Eurorack performance looper designed for layered loop manipulation, granular-style textures and hands-on live control. It records audio into a continuous buffer of up to two minutes and plays it back using four simultaneous playheads, each with independent speed, pitch, direction, volume and loop position.Each playhead can scan a different part of the recorded loop or focus on its own sub-loop, making it easy to create dense textures, shifting drones, rhythmic variations and evolving sound beds from a single recording. Four assignable CV inputs allow external modulation of playhead speed, position or volume, and the built-in delay, reverb and bitcrush effects add further sound-shaping options.The two mono outputs allow each playhead to be routed individually or sent to both outputs, supporting flexible effects routing and stereo movement when used with a panning mixer. Grid mode slices the loop into 4, 8 or 16 quantized regions, keeping playback positions and loop sizes locked to rhythmic divisions for precise beat-based performance.Designed for live use, Gloop includes dedicated physical volume controls for each playhead, plus record and overdub control via the front-panel button or trigger input. Compact, immediate and highly flexible, Gloop turns recorded audio into a playable modular instrument for loop mangling, texture building and experimental sampling.• Eurorack performance looper with four simultaneous playheads.• Up to two minutes of continuous 48kHz / 24-bit audio recording.• Independent speed, pitch, direction, volume and position per playhead.• Sub-loop control for layered textures and granular-style playback.• Four assignable CV inputs for speed, position or volume modulation.• Built-in delay, reverb and bitcrush effects.• Two mono outputs with flexible playhead routing.• Grid mode with 4, 8 or 16 quantized loop regions.• Record and overdub via button or trigger input.DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder.
