1010music Blackbox B Stock

A Compact Format to Produce Anywhere, Without Compromise

The Blackbox positions itself as an all-in-one music creation tool: a compact, robust, performance-oriented sampler designed to capture audio, chop it, sequence it, and replay it immediately. Its touchscreen-centered approach makes it a direct alternative to heavier computer workflows, while remaining easy to integrate into a studio or live setup.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

Ideal for producers and beatmakers from beginners to advanced who want a straightforward and inspiring device, as well as for live musicians seeking a loop player and a performance sampler in a minimal format. The Blackbox is particularly suited for electro, hip-hop, techno, lo-fi, ambient, synthwave styles, and backing track creation. In the studio, it becomes a fast sampling hub; on stage, it facilitates triggering one-shots, loops, and arrangements.

Features and New Additions

The Blackbox allows you to record and edit samples and sequences via a smooth touchscreen interface designed to speed up creation. You can combine loops at different tempos thanks to built-in BPM synchronization and rhythmic slicing, useful for aligning grooves and building variations. Playback is done from pads and/or a virtual keyboard, making it easy to play one-shots or launch loops. For programming, sequence editing relies on a familiar Piano Roll view, ideal for refining placement and musicality. The expandable microSD storage supports importing WAV files, hours of audio recording and playback, as well as saving your samples and presets. Finally, the USB host mode allows connecting external gear to expand performance and control possibilities, with easier integration thanks to MIDI and comprehensive audio connectivity. A sound library is included (beat packs, loops, and one-shots) to get started immediately.
