Beatmakers start your engines – your quest for a great-sounding and truly portable beatbox / drum machine has ended! 1010music announces razzmatazz, the latest in their hugely successful nanobox™ line of colorful micro synths that fit in the palm of your hand.

Just like lemondrop and fireball, razzmatazz is small yet mighty. With its effortless sequencing, slamming samples, and FM synth drum sounds it takes on opponents twice its size and gives them the raspberry.

You get an advanced voice architecture that puts a huge range of percussive sounds at your fingertips—from deep and gritty kick drums, to snappin’ snares, and crispy hi-hats–this kit delivers! Sequence your beats in real time using 8 touchscreen pads or your favorite MIDI controller. Love the feel of your Akai MPC rubber pads? Hook it up! Dig your Novation Launchpad? MIDI that! All about Arturia KeyStep? Step it up and plug-it in. The possibilities are endless. But with razzmatazz, if you don’t need that bulk you don’t have to carry it around.

Craft up to 16 rhythms using an innovative visual sequencer that allows you to see all pad states and steps simultaneously. Design each drum sound by combining any variation of two FM oscillators and a WAV file—plus two filters, two envelopes, a resonator, a snap generator, and three additional effects. Get the grit and sweat of your own samples or the built-in sounds and the infinite boom and glitch of synthesized drum sounds. Enjoy massive synthesized and sampled drum sounds all in one drum machine that might even fit in your fanny pack.

Drum effects? Oh yeah. Lots! Design your own drum sounds with filters, resonators, bit-crushers, delay, reverb, and more! Four unique types of distortion help you create incredibly distinct and powerful drum sounds. SMASH that snare and own that tone.

Like all 1010music products, nanobox razzmatazz uses a touchscreen interface to let you quickly groove with a fast, fluid, intuitive workflow, and integrates seamlessly with controllers, other synths, drum machines, and audio devices.
