In this video, developer Justin Joe demonstrates running unofficial firmware on the original 1010 Music Blackbox.
“Twelve new features on the original 1010music Blackbox, added with an unofficial firmware mod: solo, chords, Elektron-style note conditions, SP-1200 / SP-12 / S950 lo-fi modes, a 24 dB filter, a sidechain ducker, slice start/end on the knobs, and a granular delay.
It’s free, the code is open, and it runs on top of stock firmware 3.1.9.”

The mod is available via Joe’s site.
Note: Unofficial firmware is unsupported, so use it as your own risk.
I’m not a Blackbox user but wanted to say “nice job”! I appreciate the brilliant ideas and hard work instrument makers put in to their products. I also think powerful new coding assistance tools are going to revolutionize customization. You’ve inspired me to peek under the hood of some of my favorite hardware to see what’s possible.
