"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.

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks teaches us how to use the Roland SP-404A as a send FX for the Elektron Octatrack.
From Roland: "Designed for live use, the SP-404A Linear Wave Sampler expands the sounds of the Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer for a powerful combination of sample and percussive synthesis. The fast, hands-on approach of the acclaimed SP-series performance samplers is a perfect fit for the impressive rhythmic effects and iconic step-sequencer of the Roland AIRA TR-8.
All of the functions and features of the popular SP-404SX are contained in the SP-404A, including its distinctive 16-bit linear sampling, 29 onboard DSP effects, smooth FX switching, and 12 professional performance pads. Plus, a new library of sounds curated by sample-industry leader Loopmasters are provided via the included SD card.
Whether used standalone or controlled by the TR-8, the SP-404A makes for an intuitive and inspiring addition to the AIRA range of performance instruments for DJs, musicians, and producers."
From Elektron: "The Octatrack MKII brings enormous sample processing ability into a machine designed for live performance. It redefines how you transform your sounds, as well as how you interact and play with them. It lets you do things that were previously impossible with a single instrument.
Natural born performer
Record samples in real time. Add live time-stretching and pitch-shifting. Use the sequencer to control both internal sounds and external MIDI gear. The Octatrack MKII can also be treated as a small mixing desk for your whole setup. The immediate control makes all the difference.
Audio mutation
The crossfader adds immense depth to your sound. First, choose how you want it to affect your samples. Then nudge the crossfader gently for the most subtle and natural-sounding changes – or knock it back and forth like you’re scratching for rapid and extreme enhancements."

"The Dreadbox Typhon is an analog monophonic two oscillator synth with a simple control interface for the most commonly used controls during a performance and a big knob in the middle that changes the oscillator routing. The other controls can be accessed using the sliders and a menu system that doesn't get too deep, and you can store your created sounds as presets.
In addition to everything you expect in a simple analog mono synth the Typhon has 3 modulators that can be LFOs, envelopes and sequencers. It also has 3 effects sections, the first has distortion and saturation effects, the second has chorus and flanger effects and the third has delays and a lush reverb. It also has a built in 32 step sequencer.
A complete orchestral library of over 60 high-quality instruments with sophisticated controls, outstanding performance and a stunningly natural and pristine sound quality.
Orchestral Suite has everything today's composers and producers need from strings to brass, woodwinds, pitched and atonal percussions, a full choir, and many complimentary instruments such as a cathedral organ, harpsichord, celesta, classical guitar and a harp. Intuitive key-switching, multiple articulations, and instrument-specific controls allow for unprecedented ease-of-use and nuanced, expressive performances. Top it off with a state-of-the-art convolution reverb and an ultra-efficient engine and you've got a rock-solid, world-class suite at an outstanding price.
