A Pocket-sized Polyphonic Powerhouse

The 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop synthesizer module combines polyphonic granular synthesis with touchscreen X/Y control in a fun and functional portable format. You have all the connectivity you need to interface with your MIDI controllers, sequencers, and DAW software. You can use the professionally developed WAV files as your starting point, or load your own WAV files via microSD card to create your own signature synth sounds. Either way, you’ll be able to generate lush pads, rugged basses, glitched-out textures, and much more. For a fresh take on granular synthesis that’s easily approachable, the 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop is ripe with possibilities.

Powerful synth engine

Don't let its compact format fool you: the 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop boasts an impressive and flexible synth engine. You can simultaneously engage two WAV-based “granulator” oscillators plus an additional oscillator, with 4-voice polyphony; you can also shape your sounds with two filters, two envelopes, two LFOs, and one modulation sequencer. For final polish, tap into six built-in effects: flanger, distortion, chorus, phaser, delay, and reverb. What’s more, the Nanobox Lemondrop is easy to navigate and control from the front panel, and its touchscreen can be used as an X/Y pad to manipulate your sounds on the fly.

Ready to fit your workflow

While its rugged, portable nature makes it perfect for creative sound-design sessions practically anywhere, Sweetwater musicians love that the Nanobox Lemondrop offers comprehensive connectivity for studio applications. MIDI In and Out are supported via mini TRS connections, as well as connectivity for line-level audio in and out — a clock input is also available for synchronizing with analog clock signals, too. No matter what your music production workflow looks like, the 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop will fit like a glove.

Love it

It is a lot of fun. Still learning to control it. Seems to need a really hot signal on the line in for the live mode to work very well. Having a blast using it to play 4 voices of a mono synth in live mode. Added picture with the cosmetically modified werkstatt (not wired up).

Super_naught to Cosmonaught

The most important thing first, the sound; it's rich, lush, and alive. The granular animation is comprehensive enough that each sound becomes variant enough that it becomes organic, yet remains musical and tonally harmonic. The layers together heighten this effect. The LFO adds further dynamic. The samples - and presets - have both breadth and depth. Once you begin to modify sounds and their parameters, worlds of sounds and sound-scapes open up. That sounds like hyperbole, it's not. Your imagination and creativity are the only real limit.

Whether used as pads, evolving pads mind you, or as a lead, solo, or bass voice its very musical. So this tiny box is a fantastic instrument.

The interface is particularly quick to learn. It becomes second nature very quickly. Logically laid out and rich in possibilities for experimentation. The Blackbox key grid is surprisingly playable. I find myself noodling out whole pieces before I've even hooked up a proper keybed. Connect a good keyboard or polyphonic sequencer and this little box really shines.

The build is good and strong. Buttons clicky. Encoders are solid having a nice even glide with a great resistance. It is disturbingly, even uncomfortably light. So light that I worry about long term durability. The jacks also have me questioning them long term, but so far they've been very stable.

TL/DR : Lush to haunting sounds. Logical interface and controls. Use a keyboard. Tightly built and super light. Great synth. Buy it for the sounds you can create.
Music background: Goth, industrial, Acid Jazz, and Trip-hop.
