Bitbox MK2 2.1 User Manual
These parameters are saved in a format that is commonly used by other music
products. This means you can set these values in the other product and then use them
in bitbox mk2, and the reverse.
When bitbox mk2 first loads a WAV file that has parameters stored in it, it will load the
values of the parameters that are in the WAV and use default values for the other
parameters. If you change a value of one of these parameters for the pad, those
changes only apply to this pad and are not automatically saved back to the WAV file.
This allows you to override parameters for specific pads. Bitbox mk2 also makes an
assumption about the pad mode based on the parameters that are available in the WAV
file. If there are slices in the WAV, then it sets the pad mode to slicer. If there are loop
points in the WAV, then it sets the pad mode to sample.
To save the values you have configured for a pad back to the WAV file:
1.
Open the WAV screen for the pad.
2.
Touch the name of the WAV file at the top of the screen to display the WAV
selection screen.
3.
Touch File and then Save or Save As. If you selected Save, bitbox mk2 will
save the configured parameters into the same WAV file you have loaded. If
you chose Save As, you will see the WAV file naming screen. Type in a new
name to save the changes to a different WAV file, and then touch Enter to
save. Bitbox mk2 will now load the newly modified WAV file into the pad.
To revert back to the parameter and slice values stored in the WAV file, simply reload
the file into the pad.
Note:
► If you use an existing file name when you use Save As, the old file will be
overwritten with the current WAV file and parameters.

Record a New WAV File
Bitbox mk2 comes with hundreds of WAV files loaded 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 IN1 and IN2 jacks. These
jacks form a stereo pair.
2.
Push the Home button to display the Pads screen.
3.
Touch a pad in the grid to select it. With the
pad selected, press the INFO button. If the
pad is empty, bitbox mk2 will display the Load
and Record screen. If the pad is already
loaded, bitbox mk2 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 Rec. You will now see the Load and
Record screen.
4.
Just above the recording parameters, you will see a VU meter that shows the
audio input levels. Adjust the level of your incoming signal or adjust the gain
parameter if needed.
5.
Configure your recording session by selecting values for the parameters in
the table below. Turn the top knob to select a parameter, then turn the bottom
knob to select a value for that parameter.

Sets whether you are recording from only
one input, the stereo input pair, or re-

Gain
The VU meters represent the level of the
signal to be recorded. You can adjust the
gain to get the desired level and avoid
clipping.

This parameter allows you to specify a
length of time that you want to record, in
