1010music - pocket-sized innovation

The US-American brand 1010music has made a name for itself with innovative products for electronic musicians and modular enthusiasts. The blackbox is a prime example of this philosophy: it combines powerful sampling technology with a user-friendly interface, is ultra-mobile and yet professionally equipped. Whether as a standalone music machine, in combination with modular systems or as a sample player for the stage - the blackbox offers versatile application possibilities at the highest level.

Technical details of the 1010music blackbox

The 1010music blackbox is a complete music production tool in pocket format. It allows you to record, edit and play back samples in real time - all via a responsive touchscreen display that provides quick access to all functions. Samples can be recorded directly or imported via the microSD card slot, with support for WAV files.

The blackbox offers BPM synchronization and beat slicing to easily combine loops with different tempos. One-shots and loops can be played polyphonically via a virtual keyboard - perfect for percussion, melodies and complex layers. Sequences can be precisely created and edited using the piano roll view, while MIDI triggers allow flexible integration with external hardware.

The blackbox works with a beat-synchronized LFO per voice, a 4-band master EQ for sound refinement and a revised delay effect for creative textures. In addition, advanced granular functions are available, which are particularly popular with sound designers and ambient producers. A tap tempo feature is also integrated - for spontaneous performances and live adjustments.

Extensive sound library and storage options

The blackbox comes with a large factory library containing loops and one-shots from renowned SoundTrack Loops and Loopmasters collections. So you can get started right away without having to load additional material. The microSD card slot allows you to load and save unlimited samples, beat packs or complete projects - even audio recordings lasting several hours are possible.

Thanks to the flexible memory management, the blackbox is perfect as a sample player for live performances where backing tracks, atmos or loops need to be played back synchronously and reliably.

Connectivity for every application

The blackbox impresses with a variety of inputs and outputs:

• Audio In: 1x 3.5 mm stereo jack
• Audio Out: 3x 3.5 mm stereo jack (can also be configured as 6x mono)
• Headphone output: 1x 3.5 mm stereo jack
• MIDI: In/Out via TRS adapter (incl. MIDI clock)
• Clock In/Out: for precise synchronization with external devices
• USB host: for connecting external MIDI controllers
• USB bus power: power supply via USB (compatible with power banks)

These connections make the blackbox the ideal control center in the studio or live setup - whether as a master or slave in MIDI and clock-based configurations. With USB Host, MIDI controllers or keyboards can also be connected directly to play samples live or trigger sequences in real time.
