what kind of devices can i paired with? because this seems like exactly the kind of play my brain wants when the electricity goes out, everything is silence (and i feel it as my duty to perform) my brain really hates silence 🤷🏻
Really liking the portability and power on offer here. Usually you're compromising synth features when things get small. This is definitely a complete synth.
mmm... as a someone who mainly plays guitar and bass, that seems like an space- efficient way to add more synth possibilities (because all the cool synths i generally like are enormous 😅)
I plug an Acoustic guitar into Mutable Instruments Clouds from time to time for some killer effects and reverb. Lemondrop should produce some great stuff as well as a guitar effect.
Check this out. I play synth in a 80's throwback new wave band. I've wanted a keytar for a bit, but i hate all the options available. But it dawned on me: i got an alesis Midi keytar. Got the fireball synth. Velcro'd the synth to the front of the keytar, attached hooks to the keytar to hold the cables, and now i have a synth keytar. Little synths like these are brilliant for keytar setups. I'm actually considering getting the lemondrop as well. Not sure if i could mount both of them to the keytar, but I'm considering it 😂 so damn sick
@@Randuski Make a panel that screws onto the body, but hangs off the bottom edge of the body, adding real estate? You could even make the panel face you, so you can look at the synth panels face-on?
Danny, make this demo stereo, brother. The Lemondrop sounds amazing and granular and wavetable synthesis really lend themselves to stereo. Great demo and awesome new synths from 1010, nonetheless 🤘🏻
I apologize because I just heard some of BoBeats’ Fireball demos and they seem flat, too. Am I missing something here? Am I being hoodwinked by other demos using FX or something?
I wonder if this has any additional value (except for the portability and the *really* great presets) for someone who has a Wavestate and a Hydrasynth, like me. It seems to be more or easier usable than the Wavestate for its smaller number of parameters. But then, I think I have covered most of its sonic range with the Hydra Explorer. So I tend more to the Lemondrop. Please leave some thoughts. And yes, that demo is very tempting. Good work, Mr. Fisher 😉
So... being the owner of a Korg Wavestate.. I'm used to how the Korg does the morphing from wave to wave. Does this not have this ability? Not to diminish what an awesome scientific accomplishment it is to pack that much power into a box that tiny BTW!!!
All I see in these digital synths is 1. Algorithms 2. Packaging. Separating the two is difficult, but it's really just a special purpose computer, no better than the general purpose touchscreen device I am using right now. It's funny how a youtube channel profits from the fact that these single purpose devices wont allow you being distract you with youtube or facebook and the like 😂😢
Hi Ramahadran. The Nanobox synths run on USB-C, which can be supplied by a portable USB battery. But it can also be powered by a little AC phone charger that plugs into the wall, or from a USB port on a computer, or pretty much any device that has a powered USB port. Thanks for watching. -_Daniel_
This is a no good demo because hes using a high end controller. How much is what we're hearing the nanobox and how much the controller ? Far better to use it with a moderate priced keyboard so we can really see what it can do.
@@studieslessonstheoryetc141 That one and many others have many effects and sound shaping parameter adjustments which shape whatever signals the controller is processing, don't they?
@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 what I figured, just disagree with the premise. Hammer action doesn’t control sound, if anything it can be an obstacle with synth playing… cheaper controllers have aftertouch and velocity, etc etc.
Hi Google Pigs. With the exception of the moment when I blended the Numa Compact's Piano with the Fireball, everything you heard was coming only from the Fireball, including its wavetables, oscillators, filters, LFOs, sequencer LFO, and effect processors. I chose the non-weighted Numa Compact 2x as the source of MIDI notes because it allows my to play very high and low notes at the same time. But it would have sounded exactly the same regardless of where the MIDI notes came from. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Pocket-sized polyphonic wavetable synthesis! Where would you play the Nanobox? 🎹
In my car like I do with blackbox on lunch breaks.

I'd play it while I'm driving the school bus.

What an amazing demo and presenter! That Piano mixed phrase was awesome!!
loved that small cover of rendez-vous part 2 in the intro
VERY NICE!!! I really don't need any more synths, but now am very tempted to pick this up when it comes out. As usual, Daniel's demo is killer! :)

Hi Randuski. That's a brilliant use for a keytar and a Nanobox! -_Daniel_
Now get the Lemondrop, and plug the output of the Fireball into it. 😉
@@DetroitMicroSound it's hard to find a keytar with enough real estate on it to mount both haha even getting one on there is gonna be tricky haha

Were you able to get the keytar and fireball playing nicely together? Did you find space to attach it?
Great review and Mr Fisher is a real expert...a joy to watch.
I just ordered one so I've got some fun on the way.
Epic demo!
That 031Morpheus patch is lovely .
very nice. i love your dedication to synthesis.
Thanks for the demo :)
When it’s Daniel Fischer 🔥☄️🏮
Or Fisher;-)
Thanks for going through all the presets! SOLD!
Hi Jack. I promise that was only _some_ of all the presets that are available. -_Daniel_
I wonder if 1010 has plans to make Fireball and Lemondrop into Eurorack modules as well. Great stuff DF!!!!
Nice opener! Imagine dropping this square in the hands of Jean back then
Daniel = Vibe!
Felt like I was in the movie Blade Runner for some of those drops. Nice 👌
This brings a whole new meaning to plugin in a box
hilarious keyboard and synth combo
And yet, they're the best of friends.

Another apology, every demo sounds different per patch, not per presenter. 👏🏻
Sounds great.
Please Stop it Daniel Fisher! I want to buy every synth because of your everytime tasteful playing 😀. Always suberb demos. Thanks.
I love when Daniel gets excited about a delay that has ping pong 🏓. I am the same 😅

What a wonderful toy
Woah, it’s like a modern fizmo
TONS of 80s sounds in this one.
Where I could get or download more wavetables for my fireball ? Thank you

AH the 2x!!!! I love that Numa!
Hi keith. Me too! That's why I demo with it so often. -_Daniel_

Best haircut ever.
Can you layer external samples with the internal sounds?
Mini Blofeld
Can you hook up a USB MIDI keyboard to this? Without going through a computer or MIDI host.
Lemon drop or Fireball..... I cant decide..... so both!
Pocket PPG? Nanowave? 👍
Nice demo! Does it have 16 channel midi control?
Hi DMPM MG. Fireball (and Lemondrop) can be set to receive any MIDI Channel 1-16 or Omni to respond to all of them. -_Daniel_
Does it have a mono/legato mode?
So, it seems neither this nor the Lemondrop features many lead sounds..?
Hi Sarah. Both have the capability of making pretty much all the lead sounds you'd want. -_Daniel_
Interesting box, is that a digital synth
Take a wild guess.
@@kirabarsmith9353 analog wavetable,. . hummm. optical film loops perhaps?
@@jphwacheski LOL
Nope its quantum powered alien tech
W😳W
My GAS-deamon turned into a tiny fireball and talks dirty to me...
"Oh yes, it will be mine..."
-_Daniel_
So much movement in the sounds- stop that. I want this to sound like my 1985 Casio. So there. ;) He does just the best vids.
"At the price"? It's $399!
🤔Cool but...Unnecessarily small.
The compact size is the best part.

Power supply via USB-C connection
