1010 Music Bluebox Performance Mixer / Recorder

Perfect Circuit

"We are giving away a 1010 Music Bluebox on Instagram! See how to enter here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_uWJWgG...

The 1010 Music Bluebox is a tiny mixer with 12 inputs for either 6 stereo tracks or 12 mono tracks. It can be controlled by its touch screen or with midi. You can also save mixer setups as presets and load them. There are lots of useful features like track naming and built in EQ, compression, delay and reverb.

The Bluebox can also record and playback tracks and stems for mixing later in a DAW or doing playback during a performance. It can accept eurorack level signals as well as line level instruments. The Bluebox comes in the same compact and sturdy metal enclosure that the 1010 Music Blackbox is in.

Digitakt VS Blackbox // 5 Big Differences

Ricky Tinez

"I get this question all the time. Should i buy the Blackbox or Digitakt? The answer is heavily dependant on what you want to do with the machine in the end. Are you Looping? Sampling? In need of a Drum Machine? Backing tracks? These all play a factor. But on top of that, there are 5 other things that i think matter a lot when trying to decide between the two."

Alias Zone: The Dream Catcher (by Chris Meyer of Learning Modular)

Learning Modular

"Created for the December 2020 edition of Resident Electronic Music

Composed & performed by Chris Meyer of Learning Modular (aka Alias Zone):
• Tardis and Monster modular synths
• Waldorf Iridium, Korg Z1 & Wavestation AD polysynths
• rain gourd, woven basket shaker, goat toenail rattle (processed through modular)
• voice by Navajo (Diné) elder Harry James from the Q Up Arts sampling collection Voices of Native America

Index of sounds and when they first appear:
00:02 rain gourd processed through Mutable Instruments Rings, plus modular reverb and echo)
00:14 woven basket shaker + goat toenail rattle processed though modular reverb and echo, sampled, looped, and played through a 1010music Blackbox.
00:30 Korg Z1, using its complex arpeggiator as well
00:59 twin bass voices: Synthesis Technology E352 VCO through Xaoc Devices Belgrad VCF, and Livewire AFG + SSF/WMD Spectrum through Rossum Evolution VCF, sequenced by a Five12 Vector
01:30 Navajo elder phrases, re-timed and played back from a 1010music Bitbox, processed with a Mutable Instruments Clouds
02:59 Waldorf Iridium
04:50 4ms Spherical Waveform Navigator through WMD Overseer stereo filter
05:59 Korg Wavestation AD layered with the Z1 (both played by the Z1’s arpeggiator)
08:50 another “slow motion solo” on the Iridium

Details of how the individual sounds were created are being covered on the Learning Modular Patreon channel: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular"

Track: Marooned (Yamaha EX5, Digitone, PEAK, Blackbox, Guitar, Zoom R24)

"I tried to create a #Triphop track in the style of Massive Attack. As seen in the video, this was done #DAWless on hardware #synthesizer: Digitone plays the drum pattern and the Novation PEAK and also provides the MIDI clock. EX5 is in it's 16 voice performance mode, song sequencer playing a chain of 4 patterns (intro, verse, break, silence), providing pads, sub bass, the harp sound and some sound effects. The pad sound is a pure saw wave routed through the additional audio outputs into my pedal board. I use the Strymon Big Sky's brightness setting for creating that sublime filter sweep effect. The 1010 Music Blackbox is synced to the Digitone, playing back the guitar and vocal track recorded previously. Music recorded, mixed and mastered on a Zoom R24, as can be seen in the video. As also seen in this video, absolutely no skill whatsoever is needed for playing this live, but the preperation for this took quite some hours. :-)

Dj Puzzle

"Finally dropped my Sonicware Liven into the portable mix. Got a cute little groove developing here. Was stoked to show you my progress. 1010Music Bluebox at the hub of everything. Bluebox is running OS ver .8.6 still in beta testing/ dev mode. Also in the mix Pocket Operator PO-28, Volca Bass, Volca Kick, Volca Modular, 1010music Blackbox. A couple guitar pedals in the mix including WMD Geigger Counter 2. Technically everything you see here can run on battery power so this could be completely portable. I'm absolutely amazed with how well everything is syncing up. #dawless #1010music #Sonicware"

Super relaxed Motor Synth jam

Floyd Steinberg

"Seriously, I didn't expect this synth to sound this good. :) Bass, pad, lead and that arpeggiated thing is from the Motor Synth, electric piano is from the EX5 and drums are from the Blackbox. Digitone is sequencing only."

Blackbox now has Multi-Sample Recording

Olivier Ozoux

"You won't believe what happened once I pressed the record button!!! 😜 With firmware v1.6, 1010Music added multi-sampling support to the Blackbox, but instead of just loading multi-sampled instruments, they've also implemented multi-sample recording, for both MIDI and CV/Gate instruments.

Inside the 1010 Music Blackbox

Olivier Ozoux

"Is it 1010 Music pronounced Ten-Ten? One-Oh-One-Oh? or just Ten if you convert from binary? I'm always curious to see what powers digital synths, so I'll admit I opened mine as soon as I got it. This is what's inside:

Ex-Inferno Metal Distortion Demo Through Volca Kick

Dj Puzzle

"I got this little distortion pedal from Amazon for $20 new (had a discount coupon code from Jump Send) and ran my Korg Volca Kick through it. All I can say is it sounds good and man it was cheap! I like that it's small in size too. The full price is $41.88 and you can get it here. Also used a 1010Music Blackbox for the drum beat and that you can get here.

cheers!

Permanent addition to the DAWLESS setup? // Blackbox Live Looping

Published on Jan 4, 2020 Ricky Tinez

"The Blackbox by 1010 Music officially has a special place in my heart.
I knew you could easily have a dawless studio setup with one of these in it, but i never really tried to apply it to a live setup. Also using the Launchcontrol XL to midi map the blackbox was the easiest thing i've done in awhile."

1010 Music Blackbox - Cloudburst Flight | Demonstration

Published on Oct 27, 2019 Under the Big Tree

"I wanted to see what the 1010 Music Blackbox standalone sampler/sequencer/performance platform could do, so I loaded up some samples of vintage synths, plugged in a McMillen QuNexus USB micro-keyboard, and did an arrangement of one of my favorite Tangerine Dream songs, 'Cloudburst Flight' from the 1979 album Force Majeure.

This is a very capable piece of hardware. Great fun to work with when you are traveling - I did this arrangement on a plane on the way from Los Angeles to Chicago for Knobcon '19."

"What kind of 'soundware' could open new channels of inspiration for modular users across diverse genres? It would have to be something unique, adaptable, effortless, and pristine.

With an already impressive resume of sound design for major music software developers (including Steinberg, Ableton, Native Instruments, Yamaha, Output and others), SonalSystem is proud to announce its latest venture into content design for hardware with a Micro SD card packed with stunning sound for modular-based composers.

UNIQUE

Never satisfied with the already-perfect, we found our sounds even more inspiring chopped, looped, morphed, and filtered through various eurorack units. SonalSystem is the industry’s first to supply multi-compatible third party sound on an dedicated SD card for modular users.

ADAPTABLE

This soundware is simpatico with innovative, industry leading modular units like the 1010 Bit Box, Make Noise Morphagene, Qu-Bit Nebulae, and other great SD equipped gear.

EFFORTLESS

Totally plug and play, our cards are formatted and embedded with meticulously pre-sliced sound at intuitive cue points. Most eurorack modules instantly read the content with no editing necessary.*

PRISTINE

Not your average loops and samples, these are high quality recorded audio files, specially edited for use in modular hardware. No need to spend your precious creative time sample editing in a studio－plug in these immaculate, pre-edited, embedded (and in some cases, looped!) tracks and focus your energy creating straight from your eurorack.

This Micro SD Soundware Pack release covers the core spectrum of sound, promising a sublime experience for anyone with an ear to take something morphable and make it into their own irreproducible showpiece.

*Check your hardware for specific details on how to best integrate the SonalSystem soundware.
