1010music Nanobox Fireball Wavetable Synthesizer Demo — Daniel Fisher

Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater's maven of modules, shows how the 1010music Nanobox Fireball synthesizer module combines polyphonic wavetable synthesis with touchscreen X/Y control in a fun and functional portable format. You have all the connectivity you need to interface with your MIDI controllers, sequencers, and DAW software. You can use the professionally developed WAV files as your starting point, or load your own WAV files via microSD card to create your own signature synth sounds. Either way, you‘ll be able to generate complex pads, growling basses, animated soundscapes, and so much more with the 1010music Nanobox Fireball.

Pocket-sized polyphonic wavetable synthesis! Where would you play the Nanobox? 🎹

[sonadilver]

loved that small cover of rendez-vous part 2 in the intro

[WingHouseCup]

Really liking the portability and power on offer here. Usually you're compromising synth features when things get small. This is definitely a complete synth.

[verdielg]

What an amazing demo and presenter! That Piano mixed phrase was awesome!!

[petermuller]

Nice opener! Imagine dropping this square in the hands of Jean back then

[song]

mmm... as a someone who mainly plays guitar and bass, that seems like an space- efficient way to add more synth possibilities (because all the cool synths i generally like are enormous 😅)

[seanchristophersynthesizer]

VERY NICE!!! I really don't need any more synths, but now am very tempted to pick this up when it comes out. As usual, Daniel's demo is killer! :)

[Randuski]

Check this out. I play synth in a 80's throwback new wave band. I've wanted a keytar for a bit, but i hate all the options available. But it dawned on me: i got an alesis Midi keytar. Got the fireball synth. Velcro'd the synth to the front of the keytar, attached hooks to the keytar to hold the cables, and now i have a synth keytar. Little synths like these are brilliant for keytar setups. I'm actually considering getting the lemondrop as well. Not sure if i could mount both of them to the keytar, but I'm considering it 😂 so damn sick

[rickr.mortis]

I just ordered one so I've got some fun on the way.

[qlyde]

This brings a whole new meaning to plugin in a box

[monsieurgroove]

Great review and Mr Fisher is a real expert...a joy to watch.

[creamrising]

Felt like I was in the movie Blade Runner for some of those drops. Nice 👌

[MrJackal]

Thanks for going through all the presets! SOLD!

[gregkrukemeier]

I wonder if 1010 has plans to make Fireball and Lemondrop into Eurorack modules as well. Great stuff DF!!!!

[jasonchristian]

very nice. i love your dedication to synthesis.

[raffaelesantabarbara]

I love when Daniel gets excited about a delay that has ping pong 🏓. I am the same 😅

[stringks]

Please Stop it Daniel Fisher! I want to buy every synth because of your everytime tasteful playing 😀. Always suberb demos. Thanks.

[jiffybox]

Danny, make this demo stereo, brother. The Lemondrop sounds amazing and granular and wavetable synthesis really lend themselves to stereo. Great demo and awesome new synths from 1010, nonetheless 🤘🏻

[pontram]

I wonder if this has any additional value (except for the portability and the *really* great presets) for someone who has a Wavestate and a Hydrasynth, like me. It seems to be more or easier usable than the Wavestate for its smaller number of parameters. But then, I think I have covered most of its sonic range with the Hydra Explorer. So I tend more to the Lemondrop. Please leave some thoughts.
And yes, that demo is very tempting. Good work, Mr. Fisher 😉

[keithmurray]

So... being the owner of a Korg Wavestate.. I'm used to how the Korg does the morphing from wave to wave. Does this not have this ability? Not to diminish what an awesome scientific accomplishment it is to pack that much power into a box that tiny BTW!!!
