Finally, we will go into more depth about preset management tasks and discuss how to upgrade your firmware. If you would rather get a quick overview of how to use the module, see the Toolbox Quick Start Guide that came with the module and that is also available online at https://1010music.com/toolbox-documentation-software.
Toolbox User Manual Overview Toolbox is a musically intelligent control module capable of driving a rack full of gear. It features both MIDI and Control Voltage interconnects for interfacing with all kinds of different hardware. Toolbox takes full advantage of the integrated 3.5″...
Touch an LFO or SEQ button to configure the parameters. Series Compatibility Toolbox is not part of the Series 1 group of modules from 1010music. It uses a different hardware platform that is more focused on providing outputs. Therefore, toolbox cannot run the firmware for Series 1 modules.
Press HOME when done to return to the main screen. Note: If the Main screen is in Mute mode when you press INFO, toolbox will first turn off Mute mode and • stay on the Main screen. Press INFO again to display the Global Settings screen.
Gate Sequencer output jack 4 when using these presets as they were originally configured.) Toolbox allows you to switch presets in real time to switch all patterns at once. If you switch presets during playback, the change will take effect at the beginning of the next bar. This change is quantized to measure to give you smooth transitions.
Toolbox User Manual Toolbox has four gate sequencers that generate a sequence of gate signals to Gate Outputs 1 through 4. Each Gate Sequencer on the touchscreen maps to one Gate Output jack. You configure the steps in the sequence by using the control knobs and touch screen to control which steps in the sequence are ON or OFF.

MIDI output will include gate, pitch and velocity information. Notes that are placed manually via the touchscreen will include only gate and pitch information in the MIDI output. The Note Sequencer is the only element of toolbox that sends a signal to the MIDI output. Follow these steps to create a Note Sequence: From the Main screen, touch one of the Note Sequencers in column 3 to display the Note Sequencer screen.
Use the LFO Function Generators Toolbox can generate three low frequency oscillation (LFO) signals. These outputs play out the Function Generator Output Jacks 5 through 7. The output range for these signals is -5V to +5V. To configure an LFO: From the Main screen, touch one of the LFO buttons in the right column to display the LFO Parameters screen.
Use the Control Voltage Sequencer Toolbox can generate one control voltage sequencer (SEQ) signal. This signal plays out the Control Voltage Output Jack 8. The output range for this signal is 0V to +5V. To configure the SEQ: From the Main screen, touch the SEQ button in the lower right corner to display the CV Sequencer screen.
Toolbox is designed to work together with other modules. It can follow an external clock input and then use that to control the CV and MIDI outputs to other modules. The toolbox clock can be driven by three sources, and will use the highest priority clock signal available.
Toolbox can also drive a clock signal to other modules in a few different ways. You can use the four MIDI outputs to output the MIDI clock to other modules. You can also use a Gate Sequencer to configure your own custom clock signal that will go out the corresponding Gate output jack.
Update Firmware and Manage Preset Files Toolbox owners can update the module’s firmware to get the latest features and other updates. Toolbox is not cross compatible with the Series 1 Modules, bitbox, fxbox and synthbox. The firmware can be updated with the factory image, which includes the original presets, or just the firmware itself.
