Working with Backing Tracks -- 1010music Blackbox

This video was created by Miles Spilsbury. Check out how he uses his blackbox!

Miles plays saxophone and synthesizers in the English experimental rock act The Physics House Band.

I’ve done the EXACT same thing! Great video!

Blackbox is a bless for live backing tracks
I play with a band and use some synths and Elektron boxes alongside it. Routable click that just works without me having to even check it, multiple outputs and then it’s a really good, clear sounding stereo sampler. Everything Digitakt can’t do:)

[KordTaylor]

Really cool. It seems like the a blue box might even be better for this maybe.

What if you want to "dj" full songs together? Is this possible if the wav files have the same bpm?

[celestepotter]

Can you do this and also designate one shot samples to other pads and play them on the fly while the backing track is playing?

[PCoyte]

Thanks for this video. I've been trying to use this with audio stems plus midi files but long midi files don't seem to load properly. Have contacted support and they suggested cutting up the midi file into sections

I have not found a way to make the BLUEbox functional as a backing track player…that’s really why I bought it.

Do you have to set the length of the song on the sequencer page? Other wise won’t it re-trigger the pads assuming it’s left on a short 4bar length.

Can you add a multisample into a song (preset) to be controlled via Midi (controller)?

I've almost bought this for the same reason. Can it scrub through audio at all (ff/rw) because sometimes I try and remix my stems or especially extend parts and sometimes have to go and listen back to make sure I did everything to liking, but it gets mindnumbing listening through a whole song over and over. Stopped using octatrack for backing tracks because of this same reason, though there were other reasons why it sucked as a backing track machine. I use an MPC live now but without disk streaming its absolutely annoying making 4 projects for one set, though it is a breeze *creating* it.

Does the Blackbox have Bluetooth?
What’s the simplest system for audio out?

Hi guys, great video! Would it be possible to import a midi file (type 1) that contains midi cc (for DigiTech Whammy) and program changes (for Lehle Dual SGoS) and have it play along in sync with the backing tracks? cheers
