They said it, not us

  • "It's so easy to play tracks like, really fast! - I can just jump in the crowd, jump right back on stage and play the set" - DammyDaas, Berlin

  • "I love that I don’t have to carry my laptop, my laptop stand, my keyboard, my keyboard stand and all this extra stuff anymore!" - Andrea Tichy, Berlin

The team behind the pink box

We're Szymon, Zibi, and Robin - three friends, two musicians, a sound engineer, a producer and a marketer living in Berlin. Our friends kept calling us for help with backing tracks. On one summer bike ride around Brandenburg, we decided to stop troubleshooting and start building. Countless prototypes and many test gigs later here we are, making live performance A piece of cake.

FAQs

How many tracks can it store?

The device comes with 20GB internal storage, so you’ve got plenty of space!

As an example: A typical 3-minute song in WAV format is about 50 MB, so that's enough for approximately 400 songs. That would be one hell of a gig!

What file formats are supported?

Standard 44.1kHz, 16-bit WAV audio files for professional sound quality.

Which time signatures (meters) are supported?

A huge range, from simple counts like 3/4 and 4/4, to more complex ones like 5/4, 7/8 and 12/8. We've tested all the time signatures in between.

The device always defaults to 4/4, so you only need to specify time signature (meter) if you're using something other than 4/4.

Can I change bpm or add bpm changes during a song?

No, think of this like a traditional metronome: it’s “set and forget” for every song. That means the tempo runs from start to finish, and doesn’t support mid-song bpm changes or breaks.

What if I want to change time signatures during the song?

In this case we suggest setting the time signature to 1/1 (no accent) so that you can switch between time signatures without being distracted by downbeats.

How do I use the metronome (click track)?

The built-in metronome generates a click in sync with your tracks. Just add the BPM to the filename (e.g., "mySong_120bpm.wav"), and the device takes care of the rest.

What is the size and weight?

Size: 165 x 134 x 61 mm; weight: 525g
