Töörö multitimbral synth, with OXI ONE and Bluebox

video upload by Waveformer

"The Töörö is a four-part multitimbral hybrid analog/digital synth with a small footprint. In this jam/tutorial, I demonstrate how you can set up the Töörö to get separate audio outputs for each of the four parts, sequence the four parts individually with the OXI ONE sequencer and mix the parts individually with the Bluebox mixer. The configuration is explained as text overlays in the video.

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

The audio is recorded to SD card on 1010music's Bluebox mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 17.

Gear used:
- Töörö from Fred's lab
- OXI ONE from OXI Instruments
- 1010music Bluebox audio mixer and recorder

Audio connections:
- Töörö - Bluebox, using both the two stereo line outs and the main stereo out

MIDI connections:

Lemondrop - Portable Granular Synth That Could by 1010music

video upload by Axis of Wold

"Note: One can indeed change the scale on LD. Read the informative pinned comment by GerenM dot Net. Thanks for info! 👍

Hi, this is Lemondrop from 1010music, what a revelation. At least that is my opinion, it is so portable it begs to be carried around, be taken with you on your next gig, next tour to the beach, it easily fits in your pocket, it only needs some USB power to turn on, and it invites you to be creative and, not at least, create some music wherever you are.
Lemondrop makes me happy as a creative person, and I'll bet it will make other people happy, too.

This is NOT a paid promotion in any way, it is just me being infatuated. It is a great feeling. Try it!

In this video I demonstrate most of its functions, I use together with Roland U-110, with Korg SQ-1, DigDugDIY Purple Rain, the lowfi sampler and compressor, with PO-14 Sub, and give you and overview of how it is modulated using its special modulation sequencer, that can contain as many as 31 steps and with varied step length. Also, I cover the filter section, there are two, the LFOs, also two, and the FX section, which sports reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, and a distortion.

I demonstrate its audio input and how it is used together with midi.

Enjoy!
Cheers!"

"Hi, this is a taster for what to come.
More Lemondrop, because it works so well with everything (I guess...).
It has a price tag, but when it makes music creation so fun and efficient and yields such good results, it is a keeper.

All well!"

1010music Blackbox Version 3 Update Overview

video upload by 1010music

"We are pleased to offer blackbox 3.0.7 firmware. Version 3 is a significant step forward for sequencing, songwriting, and arrangement.

Each of the 16 sequences now have 4 layers. You can sequence and switch between all 64 layers for more advanced songwriting. You can now double a sequence. Double will double the length and content. Double allows you to write in smaller sections and extend as needed. The new Song mode can have up to 32 song scenes per preset. Song scenes can control sequences, Clips, Slicers, Granular samples, and one-shots. Scenes can be looped within a song. Songs mode now has 2 loop modes. You can loop a single scene or the entire song. You can also trigger each scene individually using MIDI notes.

MID-only sequences are now fully independent of internal Pads. MIDI routing has been redesigned. You now have more complete control over MIDI input and output. You can selectively route MIDI in, out, or thru the blackbox. You can enable or disable the USB Device port, and have total control over how clock + transport is sent and received.

"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."
