Record a New WAV File
Blackbox comes with over 800 WAV files preloaded on the microSD card. You can
also record new WAV files to create your own custom sound.
To record a WAV file:
1.
Start by plugging an audio signal source into the Audio In jack. This is a
stereo input.
2.
Push the PADS button to display the sample bank.
3.
Touch a pad in the grid to select it. With the pad selected, press the INFO
button. If the pad is empty, blackbox will display the Load and Record
screen. If the pad is already loaded, blackbox will display the Waveform screen. If you are on the
Waveform screen, press the Pad 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 to the right of the grid icon (L+R in the example screenshot). This will
display the list of input choices. Touch one of the options to choose whether to record the left channel,
right channel, in stereo audio input, or resample the audio currently being generated by blackbox through
Out 1.
5.
Touch the menu item to the right of the input button to select the output for the pad. This output will also be
used for monitoring the input.
6.
Use the threshold recording option if you want to start recording when a sound level threshold is reached.
Touch the Thres button in the top menu to toggle threshold recording on and off. The button is blue when
enabled.
