2.
Touch Scan and then use a control knob to select a Threshold percentage for
the sensitivity of the scan. The lower the threshold, the higher the number of slices
that will be created. Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch
anyplace outside of the Threshold field to cancel the scan.) Bitbox will detect and
create slice points in the file automatically. The slice points are shown as pink
horizontal lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
To use Slice to Grid:
1.
From the Waveform screen for the Slicer cell, touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2.
Touch Grid and then use a control knob to select the number of Slices to create.
Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch anyplace outside of the
Slices field to cancel the scan.) Bitbox will automatically divide up the WAV file
evenly into the number of slices you specified. The slice points are shown as pink
horizontal lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
You can adjust the results of the Scan to Grid or Auto Scan by manually adding or removing
slices to get the slices that match your creative vision.
Use Slices to Synchronize Playback of Clip Cells
You can use slices in a Clip cell to synchronize playback of the beats in the clip. When the value of the Sync parameter for a
Clip cell is set to Slice, bitbox will use the location of the slices in the WAV file as the location of the "beats" for Sync
purposes in order to prevent timing drift.
But how do you get slices in a Clip cell? First configure the cell as a Slicer cell, create the slices, and then change the cell type
to Clip. The slices will still be visible on the Waveform screen and can be used for synchronization.
Record a New WAV File
Bitbox comes with a set of WAV files preloaded on the microSD card, and it also allows you
to record new WAV files. Here's how:
1.
Start by plugging an audio signal source into IN1, IN2, or both to record in stereo.
2.
Press HOME until you get to the Main screen.
3.
Touch a cell in the grid to select it. With the cell selected, press the INFO button.
If the cell is empty, bitbox will display the Load and Record screen. If the cell is
already loaded, bitbox will display the Waveform screen. Press the Cell 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 between the grid icon and the Load button (In 1 / 2 in the example
screenshot). This will display the list of input choices. Touch one of the options to choose whether to record just from
In 1, just from In 2, or from both inputs in stereo.
5.
Before you start recording, set up the parameters that control the recording:
