Record A New Wav File - 1010music Blackbox User Manual

Record a New WAV File

Blackbox comes with a set of over 800 WAV files preloaded on the microSD card. You can
also record new WAV files to create your own custom sound. Here's how:
1. Start by plugging an audio signal source into the Audio In jack.
2. Push the PADS button to display the sample bank.
3. Touch a pad in the grid to select it. With the pad selected, press the INFO
button. If the pad is empty, blackbox will display the Load and Record screen. If
the pad is already loaded, blackbox will display the Waveform screen. Press the
Pad Mode icon to the left of the WAV file name at the top of the screen and then
touch New Recording. You will now see the Load and Record screen.
4. In the top menu, touch the menu item to the right of the grid icon (Stereo in the example screenshot). This will
display the list of input choices. Touch one of the options to choose whether to record the left channel, right
channel, or in stereo.
5. Touch the menu item to the right of the input button to select the output for the pad. This output will also be used
for monitoring the input.
6. Use the threshold recording option to start recording when a sound level threshold is reached. Touch the Thres
button in the top menu to toggle threshold recording on and off. The button is blue when enabled.
7. Before you start recording, set up the parameters that control the recording:
Parameter Description
Length This parameter allows you to specify a length of time
that you want to record, in terms of notes and bars.
When Custom is selected, touch the Stop button to
stop recording.
Rec Quant This parameter lets you quantize the recording to
start and stop at the designated musical time
interval. This is not available when Threshold
recording is enabled.
Gain The VU meters represent the level of the signal to
be recorded. You can adjust the gain to get the
desired level and avoid clipping.
