Parameter Description
Controls whether the signals received on the
Rec Mon
configured input channel are played out through the
configured output channel for monitoring purposes.
When threshold recording is enabled, this controls
Threshold
the minimum sound level required to trigger
recording to begin.
8. Send a signal to the selected Input or Inputs. The source will play through the corresponding output jack, OUT1 or
OUT2, if the Rec Mon setting is ON or Auto. The lower left corner of the Load and Record screen displays the levels
of each of the input signals. For best results leave some room (a few dB) between your loudest level and the max
allowed, which is 0dB. If a red bar appears to the right of the level, the signal is clipping and the level should be
lowered for best quality.
9. Touch the Rec button in the lower right of the screen. Bitbox will start recording. If you selected a time value for
Length, recording will stop after the selected length of time. The Load and Record screen displays a running clock of
measures and beats and time duration of the recording. There may be a delay between when you touch Rec and
when the recording starts as bitbox waits to quantize the recording to the selected Rec Quant time interval or for a
threshold to be reached. See Synchronize Playback with a Clock below for more information about clocks and
quantization.
10. Touch Stop to end recording. There may be a delay between when you touch Stop and when the recording ends
due to quantization. When the recording has stopped, the main screen is displayed with the new WAV file loaded in
the selected cell. The clip name will be RC with a numeric suffix. We will discuss changing file names and managing
WAV files later.
After you record a clip, that clip is available for use in other cells and presets as well. The WAV file is saved on the microSD
card with a file name the same as the name on the screen with a .WAV file extension.
If you have the general module setting RecToPlay set to ON, bitbox will automatically start to play the new sample when
recording ends if the Length parameter was used for recording. See Global Module Settings above to adjust the RecToPlay
setting.
Note:
• If you record into a loaded cell, the original WAV file remains intact on the microSD card and a new WAV file is
created.
