Guide!
Blackbox is a compact sampling studio from 1010music. It
lets you gather samples, arrange them into sequences, and
record the sequences into song sections. You can play
sequences by tapping on the pads, touching the virtual
keyboard, or playing a MIDI device. You can further refine
your sound by applying FX to pads and by mixing the sound
levels and stereo effects. All of this work can be saved
together into a Preset.
Blackbox was designed so that you build your song by
working through the buttons from left to right. You can certainly jump around and do things in any order, but the
general flow is to start on the left and move to the right. You start by selecting a preset with the samples you want to
use or by building your own set of samples on the PADS screen. You can then use the PADS and KEYS screens to trigger
the samples. Once you have a riff you like, you can select a sequence cell on the SEQ screen and then use PADS or KEYS
to record one or more pads into a sequence.
Next you can use Song mode on the SONG page to record start and stop events for one or more sequences. You can
use any combination of sequences in any section, and any combination of pads in any sequence. Along the way you can
save your work into the current preset or a new one on the PSET screen.
