The new nanoboxes from 1010music, known for their Blackbox tabletop synth and Eurorack modules, offer powerful synthesis packed into a palm-sized portable form for music on-the-go. You can use your own samples or employ the included presets to craft unique sonic trails — whether you’re after the classic, punchy wavetable sounds that launched a ton of '90s dance hits; beautiful, modulating pads that surf through gently moving waves; or granular synth tones with the perfect grit and glitch for today’s lo-fi tracks, these nanoboxes deliver. Like all 1010music products, nanobox uses a touchscreen interface to let you quickly edit parameters with a fast, fluid, intuitive workflow, and integrates seamlessly with controllers, other synths, drum machines, and audio devices.
