Bitbox 2.2 User's Manual

Main Screen Overview

The bitbox touchscreen allows you to do activities on your modular rack that previously required a computer. The User
Interface allows you to see the waveforms and take actions on them. It also allows you to see the names of WAV files you are
working with and to control numerous parameters with the use of only 4 knobs. You can touch cells to trigger and select them,
and touch on-screen buttons to take an action.
The Main Screen of the bitbox firmware provides ready access to the WAV files in the selected preset. The grid on the Main
Screen contains 16 gray cells that can each be assigned one WAV file. Each preset may contain a different configuration of
WAV files and parameters. The cells display the name of the selected WAV file. A blue bar
across the bottom of the cell represents the playback state of the cell. The four cells along
the right side of the screen, labeled EXT1 through EXT4, are mapped to external inputs. The
column to the left of the EXT cells can also be used as additional external outputs EXT5
through EXT8, in addition to simultaneously being used to trigger samples mapped to those
cells. You can touch a cell on the screen to select it. The selected cell is highlighted pink.
Press the INFO button to drill down and see more information about that cell. In some
cases you can then press INFO again to access more information about the cell. Press
HOME to return to the previous screen. You can also use the Control Knobs to scroll
through the cells. The top two knobs scroll horizontally, and the bottom two knobs scroll

vertically. The Control Knobs allow you to select a cell without triggering it.
A counter in the top left corner of the screen tracks the number of measures and beats (e.g. 194:3 in the example) that have
played since the clock started. Reset the measure counter by powering down the module, stopping the CV clock input for a
few seconds, or sending a MIDI Start signal.
