1. Knobcon 2024 Walkthrough

For those who didn't make the journey to Schaumberg, Illinois, but wanted a bit of the flavor, I shot a walkthrough video. The show was full of energy, interesting products, great performances and lectures and, most of all, great people. If you've never been, it's truly the best synthesizer convention in the United States.

2. Bjooks - The Minimoog Book | Knobcon 2024

Bjooks, the world's finest publisher of synthesizer books, has released an in-depth book on the world's most famous synthesizer. We talk to Kim Bjorne at Knobcon 2024 to find out about it. https://bjooks.com/

3. Hite Studios - Amazing Synth Cases | Knobcon 2024

At Knobcon I came across a very special Eurorack case. Terrible and beautiful at the same time, it would have looked right at home in an H.R. Giger painting. We talk to Jason Hite, the artist who created this amazing work. https://www.hitestudios.com/

4. Sleepy Circuits - Video Synth | Knobcon 2024

We talk to Ron Sardarian of Sleepy Circuits, about their innovative devices to aid in audiovisual performance. Ron is a visionary engineer, a performer, and a friend. His stuff is great. https://sleepycircuits.com/

5. 1010 Music - Nanobox Tangerine | Knobcon 2024

1010 Music has done it again, releasing a sampler in their small Nanobox format. Steve Joslin tells us about it, as well as their new Nanobox storage case/charger.

"Under the Big Tree is Nicolas Peck's YouTube channel, focused on esoteric electronic music, modular and vintage synthesizers, sound design equipment and techniques, and the composition, production and performance of music. http://www.underthebigtree.com"

VERMONA meloDICER with 1010music nanobox | fireball

video upload by vermonagear

"Since we released the MIDI companion module MEX3 for our meloDICER, you can use it with any polyphonic synthesizer that has MIDI inputs. In this video we have connected the eurorack duo to a ‪@1010music‬ nanobox, specifically the Fireball wavetable synthesizer. What a great sounding little box! Enjoy this little performance. If you like it, please leave a thumbs up, a comment and/or a subscription.

Special thanks to our friends at ‪@tomesoTV‬ for lending us the Fireball!"

"Easel sequenced in strange ways with the 1010 blackbox, the Easel Command is left to its own devices. Playing in the space between notes, I can add with the touch control. A satisfying situation, with mixing and effects in Bitwig."

Recidivist

video upload by nbor

"At my portable, battery powered #dawless setup, working out a groove. Roland SH01A for the bass, Korg Volca FM for a lead, Meeblip Geode for another lead, Elektron Model Cycles for the drums and percussion. @1010music Blackbox is the brains of the operation, recording and playing sequences and distributing MIDI. Random crummy delay pedal on the volca FM is chosen more for its size than its sound!"

Bad Gear - This BOX is not BLACK

video upload by AudioPilz

'Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There is no lack of compact, costly and multitalented touchscreen devices in our lives and usually we want to get away from them - especially when making music.

Today we are going to talk about 1010music blackbox. This 2019 “thing” not only threw down the gauntlet to its competitors in the crowded field of sampler / sequencer combos with an acute fit of feature-based megalomania, it also wants to take on the big Berlin Excel of DAWs."

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."

1010music nanobox | razzmatazz + Alesis SP4

video upload by 1010music

"The World’s Juiciest Groovebox

This video covers the steps to trigger the razzmatazz from a compact multi-trigger pad. The pad used in this video is an Alesis SamplePad 4 but the principles here apply to any percussion triggering pad or brain.

Video Outline:
1:00 Configure MIDI input
1:10 Triggering one-shots
1:27 Mapping velocity to pitch
2:15 Triggering slices
2:50 Start & stop clips
3:45 Capturing MIDI to the sequencer

Create the juiciest beats and tastiest rhythms with nanobox | razzmatazz, a mini drum sequencer that combines powerful FM synthesis and sampling. Featuring advanced voice architecture, razzmatazz puts a huge range of percussive sounds at your fingertips—from deep and gritty kick drums to searing snare hits and crisp hi-hats. Perform using 8 touchscreen pads or your favorite midi controller, and craft up to 16 rhythms using an innovative visual sequencer that allows you to see all pad states and steps simultaneously. Shape the sound of each pad by combining any variation of two FM oscillators and a WAV file—plus two filters, two envelopes, a resonator, a snap generator, and three additional effects. You can even choose from four unique types of distortion to create incredibly distinct and powerful drum sounds. Enjoy massive analog drum sounds and an innovative feature set, all in a compact package that goes anywhere."

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

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)."
