Blackbox Preset Editor is a dedicated tool for the 1010music Blackbox that turns preset creation into a clear, visual, and fast workflow. No more hand-editing preset.xml files: import your samples, fine-tune parameters, audition in real time, and export your preset onto the SD card.
Key features
4×4 pad grid: assign a sample per pad, trigger with a click, play via the virtual keyboard or any MIDI controller.
Instant waveform: quick peak display with Start/End and Loop Start/End markers, plus loop mode indicator (none/forward/bidirectional).
Full pad editing: Gain (dB), pan, pitch (±24 semitones), pad mode (Sample/Clip/Slicer/Granular), reverse, Poly/Mono, Root note and playback options
Drag-and-drop everywhere:
From file browser to pad to assign a WAV
Between pads to move or copy a cell and its audio (with shortcuts to prevent accidental drags)
Smart preview: Auto-play option when selecting WAVs in the browser.
Keyboard/MIDI: play the current pad at any note (with transposition), test mappings instantly with MIDI input.
MIDI export: generate .mid files from cell note sequences (format 0 or 1) to document, share, or rework patterns.
SD path handling: side-by-side “Editor Path” vs “Blackbox Path,” with automatic resolution of relative/absolute paths for clean SD transfers.
