1010music nanobox | battery case + USB MIDI


video upload by 1010music

"Did we forget to mention that the new nanobox | battery case allows pass-through MIDI?

The nanobox battery case protects and powers your nanobox for use while traveling. The hard-shell case with magnetic closure keeps your nanobox safe in your backpack. The embedded battery pack ensures you can use the nanobox along the way and when you get there. Plug in headphones and you can make music along the way.

You Can Take it With You

Nestle any of the four nanoboxes into the injection molded case, connect the built-in battery, and your nanobox is ready to travel with you. When you get to your destination, remove the top of the case and you can connect speakers, MIDI devices and audio inputs through the cut out in the back while powering the nanobox from the battery.

Use the USB C cable that came with your nanobox to charge the battery case so you are ready to take your nanobox on your next musical journey, even if it’s just to the couch."

Contraption


video upload by nbor

"Gearing up for Wednesday's monthly in dt San Jose. I've been trying to make the most of the small synths, as it makes for a very portable situation. With only one effect on one sound, it is all very close to the circuits and raw.

Production notes: A dawless jam run on battery power alone. Roland SH-01A, Korg Volca FM, Meeblip Geode, @1010music Blackbox, and Sensel Morph. The Roland is going through a @MerisUs LVX delay. I found the cheap and compact "G-MARK" mixer from AliExpress for frighteningly cheap. It does a darn decent job, and is crazy small.

There are a couple battery packs - a 150Wh and a 99Wh. I ended up using the 2nd because the blackbox was making too much USB noise when everything was plugged into the 150Wh. There was still quite a bit of noise, but the Izotone RX-8 does a good job cleaning that out."

1010music nanobox | tangerine -- multisampling a hardware synth & VST


video upload by 1010music

1010music nanobox | tangerine -- multisampling a VST

video upload by 1010music

"Multisampling is a technique in a sampler or sample playback synth that is composed of multiple actual samples, which are assigned to different portions of the note span. This technique is often used to improve the realism of samples of conventional instruments, many of which have timbral properties which are different between higher and lower notes.

As a general guideline, you might start with sampling every third or fourth note across the instrument's range and include multiple velocity layers for each sampled note. From there, you can adjust based on the considerations above. For example, you might sample more densely in a range where the instrument's timbre changes more noticeably and less densely where the changes are subtler. Listening tests during the production process are crucial to ensure that the multisample meets your standards for realism and expressivity.

Where the tangerine Looks for Note and Velocity Information
When the tangerine loads a multi-sample file set, it looks for each file’s Root Note so it can map the file to a MIDI Note, and if multiple files have the same Root Note, the tangerine looks for velocity information so it can map each file to a range of MIDI Note velocities and respond dynamically to the way a performer plays each note.

The tangerine looks in the following places in the following order until it finds what it needs:
1. SMPL tags of the WAV files
2. INST tags of the WAV files
3. The file names for the WAVs
When parsing the file names, it looks for the following format:
[Text name] + [ - or _ ] + [note number] + [ - or _ ] + [Vel1] + [ - or _ ] + [Vel2]

If tangerine doesn’t find the root note information in those three places, it will map the files in ascending, alphabetical order, starting at C2 (MIDI Note 36)."

BAF 2024: 1010 Music - Nanobox Battery Case


video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2024, Sonic State caught up with Aaron from 1010 Music at Buchla and Friends to discuss their new battery-powered case for the Nanobox range. The easily attached unit serves as both a carrying case and a rechargeable battery, allowing users to power the device on the go. This transforms the Nanoboxes into truly portable powerhouses, and unlike other portable units with an internal battery, when the battery finally dies, as all batteries eventually do, you simply clip on another battery, and your Nanobox lives on. The battery case has endurance of up to four hours, adds much requested USB midi functionality, and is compatible with all of the Nanobox range devices.

Nanobox Battery Case Available: February 2024. Price: 69 USD"

You were not supposed to see this | Multi Sample DPO (from 2034)


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"When I made the Deckard's Dreams video yesterday [below], I tried to multi-sample a Shared System patch. I thought it would be cool to sample a big duophonic patch with movement an effects - and sample a range of C2 to C6 into bitbox so I could play it like this huge machine of countless Shared Systems.

I am going to try Strega too one day. It felt like magic, almost like patching on 'forbidden ground'. Then I tought it would be cool to use a bit of click-bait and imagine myself in 2034 when I'd have 1M likers and 1.1M haters while collecting forbidden MakeNoise gear on the Black market. I realize it may be too farfetched for some of you, but this is real. It's a private video and you are not supposed to see it anyway."

Deckard's Dreams | BitBox Multi-Sampling & Deckard's Voice

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"BitBox MK2 (and the Micro) offer support for 'multi-sampling'. It's an easy automated process where BitBox will send pitch CV and a gate to sample a range of notes and lay them out on the keyboard. So with this simple trick, you could turn any VCO into a polyphonic velocity sensitive patch. In this case, it helps me to turn Deckard's Voice (mono) into a (static) CS-80 patch which still can be filtered, enveloped, etc. But it's also possible to play the VCO while sampling, so you'd get a rich pad with lots of movement. It's the first time I used this technique and it will not be the last."

"We’ll Never Be The Same" - Halftime Bass Music


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"This track came about from the 'Hardware Jams' Facebook group's weekly challenge which was:

This week we're all going to all do sets at an EMOM, usually 15 mins sets, but we only want your first 5 minutes of a set! However.....the man who was going to take you and your entire studio just called to say the van has broken down! Therefore you are only allowed to use what you can physically carry!

So I figure I could put these few items into a duffle bag and still make it! Hahaha :)

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

You NEED to try powering your synths like this...


video upload by Novation

Novation Launchpad Range: https://bit.ly/Full_Launch_Range

"In our first episode of Novation Connects, we demonstrate how to sequence the Pulsar 23 and Fireball via midi with our Launchpad Pro, in a DAWless approach to music production.

Here's how to sequence external gear with your Launchpad Pro, using a DAWless setup. The Pulsar 23 and Fireball are connected to the Launchpad Pro via midi, allowing the user to send midi notes and cc parameters to both the Fireball and Pulsar 23. This allows you to sequence and control each instrument. The Launchpad Pro is mapped to send midi to each drum track on the Pulsar 23, and another midi channel on the Launchpad Pro is mapped to sequence the Fireball. This DAWless setup is great for both music production and live performance.

Novation Connects Episode 1 - Chapters:
0:00 - Using Launchpad's drum grid to sequence a pattern
0:41 - Creating variation with the Launchpad probability settings
0:52 - Sequencing with the Launchpad note mode and Mutate function
1:21 - Using Launchpad mute buttons to create variation
1:41 - Modifying pattern length to build tension
2:06 - Jamming with Launchpad's Sequence mode"

Unlocking '90s Magic: Grooving with the Roland MC-303!


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"The MC-303 came out in 1996 and the Factory Patterns are are exploding with 90's flavor!

I wanted to make sure everything still works ok before putting it up for sale, and while doing so, I got inspired by the factory patterns to pair it up with my 'Dub Techno Deep Dive' sound bank for the 1010 Music Blackbox Sampler/Groovebox and make some housey nineties inspired beats.

Eurorack Jam with 1010 Blackbox, Erica Black Sequencer, Qu-Bit Mojave, RE-303 and Mutable Beads.


video upload by t. noise

"Just a little dawless jam, experimenting with some granular fx modules in context.

- 1010 Blackbox for Drums
- Erica Black Sequencer
- Mutable Plaits through Qu-Bit Mojave
- RE-303 trough Mutable Beads.
- Bass by Mutable Braids through Make Noise LXD"

FIVE MINUTES WITH The Tiny 1010music Tangerine Sampler


video upload by sonicstate

"The newest in the 1010music nano-box range, the Tangerine packs a lot of power into a tiny box, perhaps moreso than previous models. With 24 voices of stereo sample playback, and 8 channels of stereo disc streaming its a clip launcher, one-shot sample, multi-sample instrument solution.

Chris B from @BOOelectric takes a break from their album launch (check it out, its a goodie) to take a look.

The only downsides we can see is the limited single stereo output (two would have been fab!), and the cost - as you might want more than one of these to handle live duties if discrete outputs are required.

Tangerine is shipping November 2023, priced at $399

The Grainmakers Playlist


video uploads by Cinematic Laboratory

"This playlist features granular eurorack modules that all need to process the same reference sample. I hope this gives a good impression of what the modules can do for you. They're all different, they're all great."

Playlist:

1. Grainmakers Playlist Introduction
I've been working on a huge video over the last few days and when I reached 30 minutes I decided to break it up into a playlist. This is cool! I can make updates and add new modules as they emerge. It's not supposed to be the ultimate grain guide, but it's cool to hear all modules chew on the same sample and hear what comes out. It's easy to be impressed by a bad module with a great soundsource, or underwhelmed by an amazing module that need to process something unworthy of its grains. So it all comes down to what they have to offer. And there are no bad modules. It's great fun to hear how a standard concept can turn into completely different experiences. So this is just a short playlist introduction.
2. Mutable Instruments Beads | Grainmakers Playlist
In this episode, Beads needs to chew on a reference performance.
Beads is an effect, but it can process an internal wavetable synth on its own.
3. Qu-Bit Nebulae V2 | Grainmakers Playlist
Our next contender in the playlist is the Qu-Bit Nebulae. It may be a bit underappreciated, but wow. A unique feature is elastic audio for time stretching.
4. Qu-Bit Mojave | Grainmakers Playlist
Next, Mojave needs to chew on Sebastian Lexer's grand piano.
5. Loopers | Lubadh & Morphagene | Grainmakers Playlist
Loopers are often confused with granular synths, especially with the Morphagene. Loopers don't grain or spray, they're digital tape machines.
Sometimes, when you think you're into grains, you'd actually been looking for a looper. It's time to show the difference, so they're an important addition to the lineup.
6. 1010Music BitBox MK2 | Grainmakers Playlist
The BitBox may not seem an obvious choice for granular processing, but if this playlist were a competition, then BitBox MK2 would be the King of the Grainfields. Granular processing offers limited CV support in the current firmware, but the sheer processing power is almost an insult to the other modules. Fortunately, it can't offer the hands-on experience like dedicated modules.
7. Error Instruments x TINRS Brinta | Grainmakers Playlist

8. Melotus Versio | Grainmakers Playlist
It's a Versio. What can I say. Awkward, special, amazing and breathtaking. It's unique feature is no pitch control. While this sounds like a flaw, it's almost a musthave feature when you run notes, effects and chords through it. Don't touch the melody. Just make it grain. Top 3 module in my list. And if it doesn't fit your needs, install a different firmware! If you own a different Versio, give it a shot. Nothing creates techno atmospheres and backdrops like Melotus.
9. MISO Cornflakes | Grainmakers Playlist
This is the last one for today :). Still a few more modules to cover, but it's already a great list. Here's MISO Cornflakes chewing on the Lexer piano. Again, it's a totally different experience, because Cornflakes adds special harmonizing features and stacking of grains. No other module has it - as far as I know. It can make wonderful new sounds from something familiar.
10. Instruo Arbhar V2 | Grainmakers Playlist
I already made plenty of Arbhar videos, but this is the second V2 video. In this playlist, all granular modules in my collection need to process the same audio file so it's easy to figure out what they do. Now it's Arbhar's turn.
11. Clouds & Clones | Grainmaker Playlist
This playlist would not be complete without a tribute to Clouds, one of the first modules in Eurorack that brought grains to the case. Clouds was launched in 2015 and discontinued in 2017. But that wasn't the end of it. It's been revived and extended in many forms, making it one of the most successful modules in Eurorack even today. From a techical perspective, Clouds is no match for the modern grainmakers in this playlist. But from the perspective of production value it's still a super useful module, especially if you manage to install the Parasite firmware. It's easy to forget that granular synthesis doesn't need big buffers. Sometimes a small 1 sec buffer is exactly what you need to get that desirable classic granular stream.
12. Combinations | Grainmaker Playlist
I got a question if Lubadh and Mojave would make a good combo. I had no idea. I figured this whole playlist is still 1-dimensional. So I patched these two up and then and I just had to make this video! I am still using the reference track so you get a good idea of how big the sonic playground becomes when you combine any looper with any granular engine. Results may vary, but wow. The bottom of the Rabbit Hole simply has a doorway to the next one. And it always gets deeper than the one before.
13. ADDAC 112 | Grainmakers Playlist
I may have unintentionally kept the best for last. The 112 combines a looper and granular engine in one big module. This is the last entry in the playlist.
The 112 will return soon for a dedicated video with some carefully selected samples to play with.
14. I missed a few | Grainmakers Playlist
After finishing the 112 video I was confident I covered enough 'grainmakers' in this playlist. I doublechecked if Disting EX and Phonogene should be in it, but no. The third one definitely needs to be on it! It doesn't show up when you search for 'granular' on ModularGrid, but it immediately went to my personal top #2.
