1010music’s new Razzmatazz drum machine joins the Lemondrop and Fireball groove boxes in the brand’s Nanobox range of mini music devices.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Powered via a USB-C connection, the Razzmatazz drum machine offers eight drum voices with a 64-step sequencer to perform drum loops with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can curate tracks with the help of eight drum and percussion pads available on the screen too. In fact, you can play any pad on the two-inch touchscreen or you can control them with a MIDI device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Razzmatazz also features two knobs and four buttons in addition to the touchscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, 1010music\u00a0says that beatmakers can tap or swipe with the Super Stepper visual sequencer and compose new rhythms with all eight pads across 16 steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you can create long drum sequences of up to 64 steps which can last as long as eight bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every voice of the Razzmatazz has two FM oscillators coupled with a WAV sample<\/a><\/strong><\/span> layer. You can record audio into the device with a line-in jack, making the Razzmatazz a sampler, or import audio files onto the device using a microSD card!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a clock input keeps the unit synchronized with the rest of your signal chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, you can get as creative as you like and blend organic sounds, acoustic instruments, and digital samples and write interesting percussion lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you could load up one of the Razzmatazz’s 120 preset kits and sequences and jump right in! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of playback modes allow you to play back loops and sample slices. However, there is no option to slice samples up on the device itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for effects, you can apply filters, resonators, bit-crushers, delay, reverb, and four types of distortion to your sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
