Bad Gear - This BOX is not BLACK
Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There is no lack of compact, costly and multitalented touchscreen devices in our lives and usually we want to get away from them - especially when making music.
Today we are going to talk about 1010music blackbox. This 2019 “thing” not only threw down the gauntlet to its competitors in the crowded field of sampler / sequencer combos with an acute fit of feature-based megalomania, it also wants to take on the big Berlin Excel of DAWs.

    @@AudioPilz Shorts were filed. I got 3 basically kickass IEMs for $5 (in total) but have yet to try Oxygen. Such is life. my testicles are bald btw (I know, everyone needed that image right now, little crumpled up raisin looking things with the wring shade of beige), and that's even without shaving. Am I joining the club? Probably not. I'm a bit disappointed that the suitcase that was delivered to me wasn't filled with coke and diamonds though. And I got a $5 midi keyboard/touchpad/gamepad thing that is surprisingly effective. Almost as good as a (micro) Korg. The only problem is, I now have like 3 mice too, aside from the 3 (with 3 meaning 4) keyboards, so I need some kind of way to use them at the same time without them conflicting. I wonder how I can do that. *I'll mention some software for using multiple keyboards/mice (though it ain't exactly free if you're not Johnny Depp), and such. And some open source software for using multiple keyboards for macros/triggers and such. But not right now. Because I have paramnesia, which btw is a highly recommended feature for classic reproductions of worse versions of not quite analog synths.

    I have a few samplers, but the Blackbox is more intuitive, and easier to get going on than the others. It also is more like a Swiss army knife, being able to do lots of different things, like multi track recorder/player, effects for external input, sequencer, and control voltage record/playback. And it has a small form factor that I really like, and the build quality is excellent, with just the right amount of encoders, and buttons + touch screen, that work together very well. I even installed a battery inside mine, to make it even more portable, and convenient to use. Thanks for the show, and have a great day 😻

    I owned one and it's very fetish-worthy. It's a really powerful setup. After a while trying to touch screen arrange midi notes and even worse edit them with the knobs wears you down. I loved the endless sample lengths, I hated trying to use the knobs to control sample editing. I hated fighting to remember how to assign lfos to things.. the fx was great but considering they have a sister box that does fx in the modular world, it feels like a cheat that it only has basic fx. My last gripe was it felt like an endless wait for that, "final update" that made it a real tool. I sold it reluctantly because I truly loved it despite all its flaws. Love/hate vibes all the way.

    This utilitarian device was very tempting but I finally decided it’s a little too bare bones for my taste. Got my mind set on a portable MAT 16X8 interface, paired with an M4 iPad Pro .. The combo is a little pricier than a 1010 Blue + Blackbox pair, but way more IO and desktop level performance with such brilliant apps as Drambo, Koala, AUM, Loopy Pro and Logic Pro + AUV3 plugins = a no brainer.

    Im thinking about sampling capabilities - which at the moment I pack, together with a mixer or multiple input for stems to polish later on. Since I got bitwig I believe there is no hw able to compete in terms of sound design and with a sampler I could bè able to take the sounds out and just play hands on. Now, this bluebox is actually super interesting because it can sample, it can do looking, it can expand thus tracks on other machine, it can multisample as well and due to the form factor it could bè a tool box to bring the machines all multisampled or sampled and play on the beach. I was eyeing a tracker+ before, or an octatrack but really, idk. I think for now I will wait and enjoy just jamming with what I have

    I'd love to see you do a review of the Casio VZ-1. Impressive specs and a very unique archetecture, but one of the most awkward interfaces I've ever used. I've never used a DX7, but based on what ive seen, I'd likely prefer its interface to that of the VZ-1. I CAN say with absolute certainty that the Korg Prophecy is pretty straightforward by comparison.

    Solid review of this little sampler. I’ve had one for a couple years but moved on from it about 10 months ago after they released 3.1 which broke song mode for me. I will say the highlights of using it for me was when I had an Akai MPD226 pad controller connected to it which worked extremely well and essentially motivated me to get an MPC One to replace the Blackbox. That and the X/Y touch filters which are hidden behind a double tap of the FX button. Besides the breaking song mode release, the rest of the machine feels like a beta release product that looks to be all but forgotten about by the developers since they released the Nanobox series.

    Love the Black Box. I'd definitely hate it if i was relying on it as my main sequencer, but it plays well in my setup with the Keystep Pro. it can play a lot of roles really well, but it's not powerful enough to be a setup centerpiece. It's great as a slicer/clip launcher/sketchpad/texture tool, and in combination with its tiny size, sturdiness and fast UI, it's really capable for a live setup.

    So I tried my 4th (2 of them are wireless and not only keyboards or mice) midi keyboard/mouse today and it's pretty neat, considering it was around $8. It definitely is a bit weird getting used to the gyroscope as mouse thing though. The 5th mouse I recently "acquired" decided to jump out of the box I let it sleep in to recover and sit on some hats, then later I found it in the kitchen, and it actually ran onto and sat on my foot (perhaps it recognized my stench?). That was weird. No idea where it is now.

    Another jab at the Astrolab and I'm all for it. If they weren't going to at least have as many controls as the Keylab then they should've just made it a module at half the price. Then again, since they already market their midi controllers as companions to Analog Lab, a module actually makes more sense.

    I have a few grumbles about my MPC One! That utterly useless step sequencer and the lack of automatically triggering the sampler from the start/repeat of a Sequence (to avoid pratting about extending Sequences to rediculous lengths on audio tracks to be able to jam over a loop and have the sample retain sync). Edit: I almost forgot to grumble about the kludge needed to set the time signature to anything interesting.
