Beatbox has a unique tap detection algorithm that allows for a high degree of dynamic accuracy . This means soft taps sound soft , hard taps sound loud! ..and everything in between. Beatbox features a calibration routine and lets you tune the response curve. The incredible dynamic range is made possible by 12-bit ADCs and ruthlessly fast sensor sampling.
You can store and recall multiple kits. For each kit, you can load 16 multisample banks of mono audio samples, for example, recorded at different dynamics. Each of the multisample banks can contain up to 256 mono audio samples . You can choose to load fewer samples for one pad and more samples for another pad - for a total of 4096 samples per kit.
All your kits and samples live on a micro SD card, Beatbox can stream audio directly from SD. With a small side encoder and display you can navigate the menu, design, save and load your kits. Alternatively, you can use your computer and modify your kits by editing JSON files stored on your SD card.
eatbox gives you 16-voice dynamic polyphony. 16 voices can overlap each other. The 17th voice steals the oldest voice. You need to play pretty fast or use long samples to notice the voice stealing. For longer samples, such as cymbals and bells, you can activate priority mode so that they always play to the end.
You play the Beatbox with your fingers by striking individual pads or combinations of pads. You can disable and enable the combination mode with a side switch or a dual footswitch (not included with the Beatbox). When combination mode is disabled, you are limited to playing four pads (in two scenes), but you can trigger more than one sound at a time.
In addition to the 16 multisample banks, you can load 12 additional synthetic sounds for each kit. The internal synth engine can create sounds inspired by the 808 . The synth engine comes with pre-programmed sounds and built-in randomness. You turn the encoder and the engine generates variations of 808-inspired sounds for you to explore and choose from.
beatbox is said to cost no more than €555 + DHL. We were supposed to start shipping in September, but because of the pandemic, semiconductor companies are having a massive crisis that will affect the entire tech industry, including laptop and phone manufacturers. NXP Semiconductors promises to deliver the chips we need by April 2022 at the latest
Congrats! It definitely looks interesting. I hope you get it sooner than expected. A year is a long wait!
Out of curiosity, have you been doing any finger drumming? If so, what have you been drumming on?
Beatstep Pro ... let’s say the longitudinal layout isn’t conducive to finger drumming
@telecharge there are so many VERY cool boutique electronic noise makers I’ve missed out on or haven’t been able to budget for
Axoloti
Shruthi (Now comes in a DIY)
Gecho Loopsynth
And those are the affordable ones
For those on a tighter budget: DIY a "Samplerbox". (Any Raspberry Pi, piezo sensors, USB DAC(s) and a little Python knowledge for doing the drum repeats/fills/slams and whatnot).
I’ve got a few pi based projects. This is better than what I could’ve cobbled together and it’s almost like art that makes noises and fits in your pocket. My GAS got me.
I’ll be finishing up my Norns clone (pi based) this month or so. I finally cleared enough space out of the garage to work in. (My father was a bit of a hoarder gods rest his soul)
Thanks, I'll check 'em out.
FUN!
A norns clone? Oh my, that sounds exciting! I'd love to know more about your project.
That Beatbox looks beautiful, no question, it's only the price that turns me off.
Also, iPhones have great built-in speakers nowadays, something to consider as well.
@rs2000 i have a third party variant of the Norns shield called Fates, but it’s basically this
A “hat” that sits on a raspberry pi
https://monome.org/#norns-shield
Very interesting @audiblevideo, thank you!
Don't suppose you still have the Fates and want to sell it do you?
It's a lifestyle attribute, apparently.
It is definitely cool. In fact really cool. The guy has the promotional thing to a t. It’s super sexy.
The thing is though. I’ve had experiences with stuff like that. Most recently with artiphone orba. To me these things are just too small. They get lost on stage!! It would also be nice to be able to play it with sticks or full hands. I get it though, it’s a finger drummer’s box,
Perhaps if I was trying to avoid using screens and instead went for a bunch of noisy boxes it would make sense to have it. I don’t know, this thing confused the shit out of me. Kudos for running off a power bank. I hate 3 battery arrangement making using rechargeables a pain.
I really like some of the tricks they use to to make it more than just a 4 pad trigger. Re-trigger, random sample based on velocity. Doubling last played sound on another pad while holding shift etc.
As it is though, boppad hooked up to Drambo on an iPhone seems like a better way to go if one already has a phone and is willing to put time into building things. Large pad, radius, velocity, pressure. Won’t do finger drumming though...too big!!!!
@ashh why wouldn’t you want the regular Norns (pi version)? it’s affordable and easy to make.
If you troll around Reverb dot com you might get lucky and spot one for sale.
What a lovely thing. Price seems reasonable but it’s sadly a little rich for my blood.
Hopefully they drum up a web app to build kits. Editing JSON by hand is no fun. Wish everything that allowed you to load/create a kit of samples just used the SF2 format. Simple to read and edit for humans.
I have a Shield. Fancy a Fates.
I see… you can’t have mine lol. I have seen them on reverb though.
It's no Pocket Beatbox, but this thread reminded me of a video I saw for Launchpad X on Youtube:
