Blackbox version 3 Overview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- We are pleased to offer blackbox 3.0.7 firmware. Version 3 is a significant step forward for sequencing, songwriting, and arrangement.
Each of the 16 sequences now have 4 layers. You can sequence and switch between all 64 layers for more advanced songwriting. You can now double a sequence. Double will double the length and content. Double allows you to write in smaller sections and extend as needed. The new Song mode can have up to 32 song scenes per preset. Song scenes can control sequences, Clips, Slicers, Granular samples, and one-shots. Scenes can be looped within a song. Songs mode now has 2 loop modes. You can loop a single scene or the entire song. You can also trigger each scene individually using MIDI notes.
MID-only sequences are now fully independent of internal Pads. MIDI routing has been redesigned. You now have more complete control over MIDI input and output. You can selectively route MIDI in, out, or thru the blackbox. You can enable or disable the USB Device port, and have total control over how clock + transport is sent and received.

Maybe it would be good if 1010 did an up to date user friendly comprehensive tutorial video on the Blackbox now that it has evolved all the way to version 3. It’s quite a different machine now.
Agreed. Very cool they've put in this level of care though to provide such an update.
Yes, their product support is excellent.
I'm still amazed that my Blackbox has evolved so far from when I got it. What amazing support for a brilliant instrument. For live work it's an incredible unit. I may consider the Bluebox to make my live setup even more streamlined.
Roland and Sequential being pretty big guys on the market don’t provide updates to their products when they are out. This level of commitment is what builds a brand, thanks 1010Music for the updates and hard work
Take that waves. Thats how i like owning things. Just by updating this old darling makes me wanna by your next one! More power to you 1010!
Just that «double» feature is worth the whole update!
Fantastic update. Thanks for continuing to support this great instrument ❤
excited to see all the new features, and thank you for the MIDI modes!
My 1010 blackbox is grown into a monster. Please feeders, just don't stop.
These are great additions! Thank you!
Extensive update,. very useful new song sequencing and powerful MIDI routing features. Thanks for this!
Thanks for this update and congrats!
Thanks guys. Great work.
Amazing update guys!
This looks great!
Great update! Thank you to the 1010Music team
Thanks 1010music ❤ This is looking lit.
Love the new midi cc options in song mode. I can actually build a song with my guitar footswitch pedal now using only my feet. Truly flexible little box unlike some of the more advanced units on the market they have made simple changes to the midi control to make it useful anyway you want to use it. Can't wait to play around with this as a looper now. They have also addressed the strange midi clock issues with using external gear thru this unit. I have had to do some crazy rewiring to not have anything pass through this box. Now I maybe able to eliminate a few cables in my setup since it's fixed.
Wooo, mama!! I’ve been holding off on updating for a while, its time!!!!!
Super update! thanks!
well done aaron and the 1010 team 🎉
Wow! This Update pushes the Blackbox to a new level. There are so much features now to use it as stand alone workstation/groovebox. Thx!
update is amazing!!!
Nice. I think I am gonna buy one.
LOVE!
wow! excited for this. update
Bravo ya’ll🔥🔥🔥✌🏼
good job 🫵🏻😎🫵🏻
This is great just need a separate tutorial how to use song mode step by step thanks
Coming soon!
Nice! I think i'm still on 1.7 or 1.8. Looks like i've managed to miss version 2 updates, so will need to revisit this device and see what i've been missing. Top marks for constantly updating and improving the Blackbox
Great update! Is there a chance that new features will also appear in Bitbox micro?
OMG 😊🎉
❤
This is... just... wow. I would need to watch this several times for all of that to sink in. The BlackBox has gotten powerful! Great work, 1010 folks!
Any chance any of these new features will make their way to the BitBox?
it would be nice to play a granular pad polyphonic
Wow, sounds great, gonna install this right away! I'm just wondering - has the bluebox standby mode been implemented finally or do I still need to unplug my blackbox when not in use?
It's in there!
1010, please allow usb bidirectional audio in the Bluebox or in a new box. I'm ready when you are.
This is a great update to an amazing piece of gear! Thanks so much!
(Now please work on an overdub functionality! 😂)
🎉
thx for the update. is sequencer to output cv in your mind? this could be a game changer. but maybe im dreamin.
The blackbox does not output CV+Gate, but it does operate at +5v eurorack level so you can load a CV sample and output for modulation.
I'm going to need a video on the slicer mode.
Check the video in the blackbox playlist. Slicer functionality has not changed since that video.
Does the blackbox have a gate mode, so that the pad played stops wen pressing is stopped ??
Yes. In Gate mode, you have a full ADSR for this very purpose.
Looks great but how do you transfer your jams into a daw? audio over usb?
You can use the four audio outputs to transfer to a DAW.
Im hoping you haven’t forgotten about the Bitbox and it’s gets some updates soon. 🤞
we are a small team. one product at a time.
where to download firmware update?
forum.1010music.com
What can this do that the MPC one can't do?
Be tiny and portable
? Is the manual available
at forum.1010music.com
Complete and updated manual is on the way, said the Editor, typing as fast as he could and drinking caffeinated soda by the bucket... 😅 In the meantime, the forum is a great place to read about the new and updated features.
This real right… not some April 1 thing…
If it's not real, I've been working on a manual for a fictitious product for the past few weeks, which would be SUPER annoying!
is this samplebox supporting multilayer and multivelocity sampling ?
Yes.
When will the blackbox be available again?
End of summer. Keep an eye on our website - your favorite synth shop is likely accepting pre orders.
