Unique wavetables, ultra-compact unit

The 1010music Nanobox Fireball is an eight-voice polyphonic wavetable synth crammed into an ultra-compact casing. It's got one oscillator and a pair of wavetables, and users can fluidly morph between the sounds using the X/Y touchscreen. The sounds can be further shaped using two filters, two envelopes, and two LFOs, and there's even a built-in sequencer for programming modulations. To top it all off, there are six effects on board to add that final touch of magic. Whether it's powerful, aggressive drones or lush, ambient pads, there's loads of sonic potential packed into this tiny box – and with the microSD card it ships with, it's easy to keep expanding with personalised wavetables.

Immediately clear interface

The Nanobox Fireball's immediately clear interface comprises a 2" touchscreen, two endless encoders, and four buttons – a clean, straightforward setup that makes for an intuitive workflow. On the device's integrated microSD card, there are 123 presets ready to go; the 103 wavetables make use of 256 cycles with 2048 samples each. For those after a more personal touch, sounds can be shaped using the two multimode filters and a pair of envelopes. The finishing touches come from the set of six onboard effects: flanger, phaser, distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb. Internally, everything's processed at 32-bit, while the converters output signals at 24-bit. The oscillators run at 96kHz, with the rest of the system ticking along at 48kHz.

Intuitive synthesis when inspiration strikes

The Nanobox Fireball's an excellent choice for audio artists after a compact wavetable synth that they can always have at hand whenever inspiration strikes. It's not much larger than a pack of playing cards, but there's so much sonic potential in there – and it's easy for users to keep expanding their libraries with their own .wav files: Now every musician can fit their back catalogue in their back pocket. The minimalistic interface makes the Fireball easy to learn and easy to work with. With the mini-TRS to MIDI adapter cable included as standard, it can also be controlled via external devices, meaning there are endless options for creative sound shaping. Power comes via the matching red USB-C cable, keeping things looking nice and tidy.

About 1010music

1010music was founded in Los Angeles in 2016 and focuses on digital solutions for musical applications. Prior to creating their own products, the developers at 1010music had all worked for renowned companies on large software projects such as Native Instrument's Traktor DJ. 1010Music’s creative modules – designed for Eurorack modular systems such as samplers, loopers, sequencers, synthesizers and effects – combine digital technology with analogue controls and are operated via multifunctional touch displays.

Seamless integration

Lined up neatly on the top edge of the Nanobox Fireball are all the ports needed to integrate it seamlessly into any setup. It accepts MIDI commands via the MIDI input, and that signal can be passed on to other gear via the MIDI output. The Fireball supports note on/off, mod wheel, sustain, pitch bend, mono and poly aftertouch, CC messages, and clock signals. There's also a clock input for syncing up external hardware. Because of its tiny size, the synth outputs stereo signals through two 3.5mm jacks. If it's going into a pro setup, a breakout cable (sold separately) will be a necessary accessory.

great user interface, incredibly small and powerful portable micro synth

AGP1 10.03.2023

What 1010 music has done greatly is having every feature you would want in an incredibly small piece of gear and streamlined them into an updated, cutting edge little polyphonic synth which grabs both the ear and the eye.
It's immediate and easy to get fast results.
It's a bit pricey but completely worth it.

Schicker roter Kraftzwerg

Gerald P. 10.02.2022

Von der fast schon spielzeughaften Anmutung und der geringen Größe sollte man sich nicht täuschen lassen – der nanobox Fireball ist ein ausgewachsener Synthesizer mit reichlich Soundmöglichkeiten und wirklich gutem Klang.

Wenn man sich an die Arbeit mit den beiden Encodern, den vier Tastern und dem (sehr gut reagierenden und scharfen) Touchscreen gewöhnt hat, geht die Klangerstellung recht schnell und flüssig vonstatten. Mit den vorhandenen Wavetables lässt sich schon ziemlich viel hinbekommen, aber richtig interessant wird es, wenn man diese durch eigene im Serum-Format erweitert. Diese gibt es im Internet zuhauf kostenlos, können aber natürlich auch selbst beispielsweise per Serum erstellt werden.

Für einen gerade erst erschienenen Synthesizer ist die Firmware erstaunlich fehlerfrei, wobei es durchaus noch die eine oder andere Sache zu verbessern gibt. Allerdings soll 1010music in dieser Hinsicht wohl recht schnell bei der Sache sein und ein echter Showstopper ist für mich nicht dabei.

Platzsparend im Setup

Moritz Er 03.03.2023

Ich habe den Fireball gekauft, um platzsparend einen Wavetable-Synthesizer in mein Setup zu integrieren. Für diesen Zweck ist die Bauweise tatsächlich perfekt.
Die Bedienung ist zunächst etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber man gewöhnt sich schnell an den kleinen Touchscreen und die Menüführung. Die Patchmöglichkeiten sind umfangreich. Hier lässt sich eine ganze Menge machen. Die Steuerung der Parameter über den Touchscreen ist sicherlich auch ein interessantes Feature. Mit den werkseitig vorhandenen Patches bin ich nicht glücklich geworden. Hier wäre eine größere Bandbreite an weniger ausgefallenen Sounds für mich interessanter gewesen. Die Soundauswahl lässt sich jedoch bequem erweitern, indem entsprechende Patches einfach auf die SD Karte gespielt werden. Die Stärke des Fireballs sind klanglich sicherlich obertonreiche Klänge und metallische Sounds. Warme, volle Patches, wie man sie von anderen Wavetable-Synthesizern kennt, lassen sich nur schwer realisieren. Hierfür stehen die Abzüge beim Sound.
