Save and Load Parameters in WAV Files

There are several pad parameters that bitbox can read from and write to WAV files.
These parameters are:

Parameter

Description

Supported Pad
Modes

Root Note

When you use Notes to play this sample, the base sample will play for
this root note. The sample will be pitch shifted up or down one semi-
tone for each note away from the root note. Bitbox will read the root
note from the WAV file if available when you add the WAV to the
preset. However, you can specify a different value here to be used for
this WAV on this pad in this preset.

If you save the WAV file from this pad, the Root Note value will be
saved with it.

Stored in the WAV smpl tag.

Sample (Single
and Multi),
Granular

LpStr

Point where the looping will begin when playing forward, or looping will
end when playing in reverse. Expressed in samples. Must be before
or equal to LpEnd.

LpStr is read from the WAV file when sample is loaded, and saved to
the WAV file when the WAV is saved.

Stored in the WAV smpl tag.

Sample (Single)

LpEnd

Point where the looping will end when playing forwards, or looping will
begin when playing in reverse. Expressed in samples. Must be after
or equal to LpStr.

LpEnd is read form the WAV file when a sample is loaded, and saved
to the WAV file when the WAV is saved.

Stored in the WAV smpl tag.

Sample (Single)

BeatCount

Enter the number of beats in the clip file to give bitbox more
information to work with when synchronizing playback to the current
song BPM.

Stored in the WAV acid tag.

Clip

Slice Points

The slice markers that are inserted into the file. Some other software
calls these Cue Points.

Stored in the WAV cue points.

Slicer, Clip

6.

Pack up the target preset (MySong in our example) to copy the multi-sample
files into a sub-folder under the target preset’s folder. In this case, you would
end up with the following folder:

\Presets\MySong\MyBank

7.

Now you are free to delete or move the original MyBank preset if desired, or
leave it there for future re-use.
