Synths For The Palm Of Your Hand

US 1010music introduces nanobox synthesis platform with Lemondrop and Fireball synths      28/01/22

1010music has introduced nanobox, which they describe as an exciting new synthesis platform with colorful micro synths that fit in the palm of your hand.

A spokesperson told us, "Stuff your backpack with the best synthesizer per inch you will find and chase your bliss. Bring your own samples or use the included presets to blaze unique sonic trails. Whether you're after the classic, punchy wavetable sounds that launched a ton of 90's 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 - 1010's new nanobox synths deliver in a sweet, intoxicating way."

1010music says that like all their products, nanobox maximizes a touchscreen interface to let you quickly groove with a fast, fluid, intuitive workflow, and integrates seamlessly with controllers, other synths, drum machines, and audio devices.

Here's the details direct from the company...
