The 1010 BlueBox Eurorack Edition Kicks Butt 

The sky is your oyster

That live demo was an absolute burst of pure energy, in 4D 🔥

Suggest you ask Blue Box for a FW update that adds a setting to add a time delay to a stop recording clock signal for a time interval that can be custom set in seconds or a division of ..

Hot tip if you've also got a 1010 music Bitbox: main outputs from Bluebox/Bitbox/(output module of your choosing). Bitbox FX 1 and 2 outputs back into inputs 1 and 2 of Bluebox for routing audio back in. You now have a whole recording, looping, splicing, polyphonic playing, sub-mixing, granular processing workstation.

Love this video. I was actually looking into something like this for my eurorack/desktop synth setup. I also found the clock discussion from the first few minutes of the video helpful. Also, great dance moves, as usual.

NOTE: Be aware of the power requirement for this unit (850 ma on the 5v). I bought this unit and plugged it into a Tiptop audio Mantis case and it kept cutting out. I reduced the screen brightness to 15% in the tools menu and it’s worked ok so far. Otherwise I’m gonna have to use a 4ms pod.

Love it. I got a bluebox a while ago, and have been waiting for my new house to set up the studio--looking forward to diving back in and making this a part of my modular recording setup. Looking forward to diving back into your back catalog and re-living all the excitement as I set up!

I'm always happy to see you have a new video. This is definitely what I wanted the original bluebox to be, seems like a no brainer for many use cases.

Oh my…. Once again you made a demo of of gear, and once again I now need it ! I don’t count how many modules I bought after seeing one of your video ! Also, hearing your jam give joy ! Simply ! Thank you for this new video. I now have to think about getting this blue box !

merch drop looks sick! cool idea

Very nice! I appreciate the demo! Very cool being able to record straight into your phone like that, very handy!

This is the device that has made me consider modular. I like the idea of modular and playing around but not having a streamlined way to record and reuse that playing around doesn’t work for the rest of my setup. This solves that problem so well!!

Thanks for your review. I've been looking at this since it came out and it looks perfect for my performance case.

Fantastic Video! Thank you so much for your walk through, great to see you have fun!

Now that's pretty useful indeed. Great device with nice interface and tricks. That jam was sick af too!

Thanks for the review. I love this mixer.

I am astounded at the palette of color variety you have in cabling

I got a standard one. it's awesome. The firmware updates are also a bonus, as they keep improving the software and add new features. The power is the only issues I ran into. They're like Raspberry Pi, as the are very particular about the cable you use and the power source.

Great jam sequence, thank you!

yeah many thx jeremy!! way more engaging than walking through the manual by myself 😁

masterfully presented and performed.................................as expected...............................

Ooh, using a short as a pre-show ad for a good cause is a neat, smart move!

I habe the original 1010 bluebox, and it was probably the most important device I bought in my personal setup. It's cool that they made a version specialized for modular synthesizer users.

Your demo track is insane.

I hope you’re as nice, funny, genuine and cool in real life as you are on the intertube. I really enjoy your videos and you’re a real master of your craft(s)

Welcome to an awesome grid. Full of sound. And drive!

Needs a "quiet quit" mode when the clock stops and levels go below a threshold. To the forums!!

This is very excellent and a lovely jam, definitely a wish list item

You know, hitting double-stop or just two stops over an interval as the cue to end recording, ignoring regular stop, might be a nice feature in a lot of things. It's listening for 252 or the hex equivalent (at least in MIDI) take the second one as the final stop. The first stop gets sent when the sequences stop, you have your tails and ends of envelopes, then hit for the second and all is well.

Great video! Very informational

RMR.. the boogie is real!🤘🏾

Great sounds and you make it look easy, I would maybe use this in a stand alone case if possible due to more room around the inputs than the other model.

Bluebox looks awesome! Would love to see a video on the hermod plus!

I ran into the same problem with Bluebox stopping recording. I mostly use my 208hp rig for live performance so it isn't a huge deal. When I'm recording I use a much more caveman solution...I send bluebox midi clock from KeystepPro - so I just unplug the midi in cable from BB before I hit stop. This causes BB delay to become unclocked as the tails ring out - but that actually gives the tails a cool vibe. Would definitely use your solution if I had the space. Cheers and would love an update if you have any new tricks after sitting with BB for a few months. I recently started using keystep pros mod wheel out for a low pass filter on the eq band for one of my percussion voices - something thats super useful but not worth the space in my rack for a dedicated filter. ✌️

this is awesome gear

Great video! Thanks for it. Seems like the blue box should be able to start/stop recording independent of receiving any clock. Maybe a firmware update if it isn't already a setting somewhere?

This module looks awesome real world. I knew it was gonna be special at knobcon. But the midi controller integration is awesome. Makes me wonder if it would be cool to get a custom midi controller with sliders and buttons for mutes and what not.

Very cool device.

great sound!!!

Can you adjust Transport Receive on the blue box? That way BB can receive clock but the start and stop wouldn’t be received by the blue box?

Oh that usb audio out is great. I use this on the Syntakt all the time. I hope the bluebox /blackbox can turn up the volume of that output, the -18dB of the Syntakt output is much too quiet to publish directly…

Have you noticed a bit of latency at the beginning of the recording? I found a short gaps at the beginning of the recording and need to be edited to keep in time when importing into a DAW....

Just like the desktop version of the Blue Box I just wish it would be able to loop specific sections of the single recorded tracks.

Been thinking about swapping my Tascam Model 12 for the Bluebox. Aside from the effort to make that happen, I think it's the right move.

love it!! i've being using it for a few days and i just send the Clock output to PNW CLK input and apparently is working , isn't it??

Can I plug in an external sound like a Peak to the inputs...is there any weird issue with different volume levels since that is not a eurorack instrument. I have all modular but might get an external synth once in awhile and dont want two different mixers.

Yeah…my Bitbox Micro constantly restarts (and no, it’s not because of power). Plus, they say it can play playback multisamples polyphonically, but don’t clarify that is only possible via MIDI in any of their documentation or marketing (you have to go to their forum to find this out from other bamboozled users). Which is essentially false advertising. Have not been impressed with 1010’s support for firmware updates to address bugs, so I’m a hard pass on anything they make at this point. Watch BoBeats video on the Tangerine and take the part about firmware to heart - it is important.

I had to solve this exact MIDI problem to use my OP-1 in a similar way to how you're using the Bluebox. The solution for me was to create a DIY MIDI filter module using a microcontroller--Pam's sends MIDI clock to the recorder, and the recorder sends MIDI start/stop to Pam's. I think your solution is totally fine, but the OP-1 didn't have a stable enough clock for me to use it like you're using the Bluebox. If you (or anyone else) wants to try my solution, let me know and I'll write it up so you can set it up for yourself.

If Inputs and Outputs are close it means less noise.

Wow I did not go into this video thinking I needed one of these... Now I'm thinking about how much it could simplify my workflow. Anyone know if it can multitrack out throught the USB?

For the Clock Sync issue, would a trs or ts cable with a kill switch going from the Clock Out of the bluebox into the clock input of Pams work? Ie, press play on the bluebox to start recording and playing the rack, and then tap the kill switch to kill the rack but keep it recording? Wouldn’t this keep you from having to take up any extra rack space?

Is it possible on the standalone blue box to stop clock without stopping the recording? That seems like a UX bug to me. I was thinking to get one, but that would be a no go for me.

I've had mine a couple of weeks and it took a little bit of fiddling to side chain. I'm using 1/3 and returning to 11/12 and then 3/4 for the master out. Any tips on a better way?

“It did the thing.” 😃

How do you find the exporting stem workflow to be? I know Loopop mentioned some issues around it. That’s been holding me off for the time being

Great video and nice piece of music! I just wish it had side chaining functionality per channel which I heard it doesn’t have currently.

merch drop merch drop merch drop also... I do kind of want to replace my WMD Performance Mixer with one of these

if it wasnt for effects, does bluebox need to be synced at all? If i just need it as a mixer and recorder, it shouldn’t even need to be hooked to a clock, right?

Hi I was wondering what phone you are using with blue box. I have a little problem with mine

Are the fx baked into the recordings? Can you play with fx live but record them dry?

weird that 1010 didn't think of some kind of fade out or stop delay you can set a timer for.

I really wish they finally release a firmware that lets us record separate channels via usb audio interface and not just the mix

I don’t want your button. It’s covered in bees.

Great..chears from argentina

does it work as audio interface like es-9 ? , AFG has 2 power cables (the more you know ;)

that demo needs a warning, i found myself swaying along at work. I could've been fired!

💙📦🔥

What's the synth fella?

What keyboard is that? UDO-6?

12:30 anybody else watch RM Brown?

Doooope

JEREREREREMY YOU DON'T HAVE A MERCH LINK UP!!

The world is the limit

Dance break

Why does recording have to follow midi at all?

ALL LOWPASS GATES FOREVER

I continue to love the music gear and the easter eggs in the background (eg boy kisser) and the pro lgbtqa+ vibes/behaviour/community/way of life you demand in these videos.

snare so stank

When you need a ph.d in electro engineering to make music.. 🤔
