Is bento basically blackbox2 be it buggy right now ? Or does black box still have a place

What is buggy with the blackbox? I have not noticed anything.

The only bug I get occasionally is the infamous “Error with Recording” message where a (usually long) recording craps out. The fix is to reformat my card but as moving tons of data around to do this takes ages I usually just keep an eye out for the message, immediately stop recording and see how much is usable. I don’t rely on my Blackboxes so much these days for long, unsynced recordings but use one of my Zooms instead. They’re still wonderful! Would still love to see a couple of last updates (one of which Steve said he’d do but has probably forgotten) but if these never happen, mine are still woven into the fabric of my studio for the foreseeble future.

Hello fellow‘Nauts!

I just purchased a used BlackBox and it is missing the factory presets. I made an account on the 1010 forum and have tried to use the link provided for factory presets, but it leads to a broken page.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to get the presets? Will they return if I do a firmware update? I really want to fix this issue so I can commence to jamming!

This is the page/link that is on the 1010 forum:

https://forum.1010music.com/forum/tabletop-instruments/firmware-downloads-aa/blackbox-firmware-downloads/6000-blackbox-1-0-content-bundle

Could it be because I just registered for the forum today? I want to go boxing, post haste!

I don’t know but I have a very vague recollection of having to wait for the forum account approval for something.

I’m pretty sure the firmware and factory content are separate things, generally.

But don’t let that stop you in the meantime, just sample some stuff into it and start having fun. Multisample another synth, grab some audio from youtube etc

I think the content bundle 1.7 was the last update. This thread - https://forum.1010music.com/forum/tabletop-instruments/firmware-downloads-aa/blackbox-firmware-downloads/7980-blackbox-demo-content

Sounds like you need to wait for approval though.

Love the enthusiasm in this part:

“128 slices per pad [
] you can have a million chops, right? 'cause you got 128 for each one 
”

Luckily for our brains, Blackbox can only have 2048 slices per preset but that should be really enough :cool:

Yea, as I listened, I thought 
 hmmm 128 x 16 is not 1,000,000 :slight_smile:

It just shows that 16x128 is really a lot chops, sometimes I wonder what to do with more than 4.
