The 1010music Blackbox is New and delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.

Blackbox is a powerful and portable sampling studio that lets you compose, record, sequence and perform music without the need for a computer. Compact yet incredibly capable, Blackbox allows you to record hours of audio, sequence your samples, and shape your sound using an intuitive 3.5 inch touchscreen interface. Whether you’re sampling drum loops, slicing melodies or triggering one-shots, Blackbox offers a complete music creation workflow in the palm of your hand.

With support for multi-sample mapping, granular synthesis, MIDI integration, and built-in delay and reverb effects, Blackbox is ideal for musicians looking to create dynamic, expressive compositions anywhere. Easily arrange patterns into full songs, loop and resample in real time, and stay in sync with other gear using MIDI and clock connections. The robust and portable design makes Blackbox perfect for studio sessions, live gigs, and on-the-go production.

Key Features:

• Complete Music Workflow:
  Record, slice, arrange and perform using an intuitive touchscreen interface, ideal for beat making, looping and full song creation without a computer.
• Extensive MIDI and Sync Options:
  Integrate seamlessly with your gear using MIDI, USB, and clock I/O to trigger, modulate and sync with other instruments in your setup.
• Advanced Sampling and Effects:
  Use granular synthesis, real-time resampling, delay, reverb, and a global EQ to craft unique, expressive sounds from your samples.

Touchscreen Control:

The heart of Blackbox is its clear and responsive 3.5 inch touchscreen, giving you hands-on control over every aspect of your performance and production. Quickly record, edit, and arrange sequences directly on the device. Whether you’re adjusting loop points, triggering samples, or organising full songs, the touchscreen interface streamlines your workflow and keeps you engaged with the music—not the menu.

Creative Sound Design:

Blackbox is built for sonic exploration. With firmware 3.1.2, you can map hundreds of samples across key and velocity ranges, use embedded loop points, and shape sounds with granular effects. Add movement with internal LFOs, apply delay and reverb per pad, and use MIDI control for real-time manipulation. Whether you want to craft a textured ambient soundscape or a punchy rhythmic loop, Blackbox provides the tools.

Portable and Powerful:

Built to travel, Blackbox features a tough, compact enclosure measuring just 14 cm x 13 cm x 3 cm. It fits neatly into your backpack or tabletop setup and runs on USB power for flexibility on the go. Despite its size, Blackbox delivers studio-grade 24-bit audio quality, three stereo outputs, and full MIDI and clock connectivity—proving that big sound truly can come from a small box.
