Connect an Output

In order to hear the sounds that are playing on your bitbox, you will need to connect the outputs to some speakers. Start by
inserting two mini TS cables to the OUT1 and OUT2 jacks and then connecting the other ends to your mixer or speakers.

Connect an Input

Bitbox accepts several different forms of input. For now we will set up some basic inputs to get you started. If you are going to
use a MIDI device to drive your bitbox, connect it to the MIDI input on the bitbox.
Note:
Not all mini TRS MIDI jacks work the same way. You can use mini TRS cables to connect the bitbox MIDI input to the
•
MIDI output of another 1010music product, or other compatible products. For other products you may need to use a
MIDI adapter. For information about MIDI adapters and compatibility see our blog post at
https://1010music.com/stereo-minijacks-midi-connections-compatibility-guide.
You can also use Control Voltage (CV) signals with bitbox. If you prefer this method, connect some CV signals from other
modules or devices to one or two CV Trigger jacks in the array of jacks below the touch screen. Connect one input in the right
column of CV Trigger jacks, and another input in one of the first four columns. Configure your external device to send a
varying CV signal in the -5V to +5V range.

Global Module Settings

Before we dive into using the module, we will configure three general module settings: Brightness, RecToPlay, and Flip
UI.
To access these settings, press the HOME button until you see the Menu screen shown
in Figure 1 on page 5. Touch Settings to display the Settings screen. Use the Control
Knob closest to the parameter to adjust its value.
The Brightness setting will adjust the brightness of the display, with 100% being the
brightest and 0% being totally dark.
When RecToPlay is ON, bitbox will automatically play a newly recorded sample when
recording completes. This only works when a time duration is selected for the recording
Length parameter. When it is off, the sample will not be automatically played.
The Flip UI setting will turn the user interface upside down so you can use the module
with the touchscreen on the bottom. As soon as you change the value for Flip UI, the
user interface will be inverted. This means you will need to change which Control Knob
you use to change it back.
Use the GlobalMIDI setting to change the MIDI channel that is used to trigger
playback of cells. The default value is Ch 10. You can choose a channel between 1 and
16, or choose None to ignore MIDI inputs. Note that individual cells have a parameter
that allows you to specify a different MIDI channel for that cell. When the MIDI
parameter for a cell is set to Default, the cell will respond to the channel that is
selected in this GlobalMIDI setting.
