1010music Reveals Synthbox, A Touchscreen, Polyphonic Wavetable Synth for Eurorack

Hot on the heels of the company's other Eurorack hardware comes Synthbox, a polyphonic wavetable synthesizer with built-in touchscreen. Here are all the details.  

Synthbox is a new polyphonic Eurorack module from 1010music that lets anyone simply connect a MIDI controller and start jamming immediately with 50 sound presets. Then for the ultimate in tonal tweakability, the built-in touchscreen provides total control for choosing and shaping waveforms, adjusting envelopes, adding modulation, applying filters, effects and composing with step sequencers.

In addition, hard-wired CV inputs and external clock or MIDI sync allow easy interfacing with other Eurorack modules. Featuring an expandable library of 100 wavetables, high-quality 24-bit audio path, and versatile control - synthbox looks like a lot of fun. Check out the brief video demo below. 

Here's a list of the main features:

  • MIDI controllable with support for velocity, pitch bend, and modulation wheel
  • CV controllable with pitch, gate, and 3 assignable modulators per voice
  • 24 bit DACs and internal processing
  • 8 wavetable oscillators, 2 per voice

  • Dual biquad resonant filters (configurable as HP or LP)
  • Global flanger, distortion, and stereo delay effects
  • Semi-modular control
  • Stereo or individual voice outputs
  • 100 wavetables
  • 50 presets

  • 26 HP Eurorack compatible. +12V: 350mA, -12V: 0mA, 5V: 0mA

Nice! 1010music makes some really interesting modules. Also, according to their website, their series 1 modules can be converted between each other.

"If you own a bitbox [sampler module] you can convert it to an fxbox [fx module] or a synthbox, and vice versa. When you buy one of 1010music’s Series 1 Modules you get access to the firmware for all the modules in the Series." - 1010music

That is really, really awesome.
