Take music creation beyond your computer with the 1010 Music Blackbox, a compact and intuitive desktop sampler that adds recording, sample playback, clip launching, slicing, granular sounds, and musically intelligent looping capabilities to your live performance and studio setup. With its integrated 3.5" touchscreen that's designed to simplify selecting, editing, and tweaking your samples, the Blackbox allows you to adjust and save your configurations for future use.
The Blackbox allows you to record hours of audio and loops from your synths, drum machines, and other tabletop studio devices, arrange them into sequences using built-in synchronization and slicing, and then structure your sequences to create complete songs. Perform your compositions live and trigger one-shot samples on the fly. Blackbox makes it easy to create music anywhere thanks to a compact and nearly indestructible design that fits in the palm of your hand.
