Bitbox 2.2 User's Manual

Overview

The bitbox module allows you to record and playback samples in creative ways. When working with bitbox, you create presets
that store the selection of samples and parameters that you want to use together. You can create any number of presets,
limited only by the space available on your microSD card (up to 32 GB cards). When creating a preset, you start by selecting
the samples you want to use and assigning them to individual cells. Then you apply parameters, including loop options,
slicing and modulation to each cell. You can route the output of each cell to one of four outputs, either as 4 mono outputs or
2 pairs of stereo outputs. Bitbox can take in MIDI, Clock and CV inputs to allow you to synchronize or trigger playback with
other modules or external devices.
Bitbox allows you to manage your Preset and WAV files directly from the module. You can save your changes over the original
file or save as a different file. You can rename and delete files as well.
Bitbox shows you a visual representation of your WAV files, and helps you slice the samples into sections that can be triggered
independently. Touch screen gestures allow you to zoom into the display of the wave file to get more precise control when
you need it, and also allow you to zoom out to see the whole picture.
This manual documents the functionality available in version 2.2 of bitbox. If you have an
earlier version of the bitbox firmware, you can upgrade for free. See Install New Firmware
below for the steps to upgrade. To determine which version of the firmware you are
running, press the Home button until you see the Menu screen shown on the right. The
number in the lower right corner is the current version. The screen shot shows version
