Dreadbox has shown the NYX MKIII at Bristronica 24, according to a video titled "Bristronica 24: Dreadbox NYX MKIII" posted on the maker's NYX page. The page does not give a release date or a price for the MKIII.

The page describes the NYX line as a compact, Eurorack-compatible analog synthesizer in a 42HP format. Dreadbox says the instrument has two oscillators with two waveforms each, hard sync, a dedicated vibrato LFO, and a dual-state variable filter switchable between 24 and 12dB/oct, with separate filter inputs. It runs in mono or duo (paraphonic) mode and has three modulators that work as LFOs, AR envelopes or ASR envelopes, plus a reverb effect.

Connections listed on the page include MIDI IN via DIN5, a ¼-inch stereo TRS jack output and 18 patch points. The CV outputs are VCO 2, MOD 2, Noise, Mod Wheel, Gate and 1v/oct; the CV inputs are CV1, CV2, Cutoff, CV, Gate, Post Cutoff, PW and VCA.

The unit is USB powered at 1.5 Watts, and Dreadbox lists 50 playing hours with a 20,000mA portable power bank. Eurorack power draw is given as 200mA at +12v and 110mA at -12v. The box is listed as containing the Nyx Eurorack module, a 42HP case, a DIN5 to 3.5mm adapter, and a ribbon cable. Requirements are a USB-A adapter (5v) with 1000mA or more, a MIDI device or keyboard with DIN5 MIDI output or CV/Gate, and a monitor, amp or headphones.
