NOTE:
•
Blackbox won’t stop you from loading a WAV file from Preset B’s folders into Preset A. However, if you
do this, you could potentially break Preset A if you ever move or rename Preset B for any reason.
Therefore, if you have WAV files that you want to re-use across presets, we encourage you to move
these WAV files into library folders outside of the \Presets folder, and to Pack your presets often.
•
If you record into a loaded pad, the original WAV file remains intact on the microSD card and a new
WAV file is created.
•
If you have
RecToPlay
set to
ON
in the Tools pages, blackbox will automatically start playing the new
sample when recording ends if the Length parameter was used for recording.
•
You can turn off the Lead In and Metronome on the Tools pages.
•
Blackbox streams the recording directly to your microSD. The length of your recording is limited to the
space available on the microSD card.
•
Use the
Resam
input option to layer recordings, apply effects or capture new clips.
To Record a WAV File while Sequences or Song Sections are Playing:
You can record WAV files while you are also playing sequences or song sections.
1.
Set up the sequences or song sections you want to play, and start playback.
2.
Go to the WAV Load and Record screen and configure the empty cell.
3.
Push
Rec
while on the WAV Load and Record screen and the sequences or sections are playing.
4.
Push
Rec
again if needed to stop recording. The sequences or sections will continue to play. If you have
Rec To Play enabled, the pad will also start to play. Configure looping and other options as desired.
To Record a Multi-sample pack onto blackbox:
1.
Create a preset for the multi-
sample pack. Let’s call it MyBank.
2.
Record the files into the new MyBank preset. Delete any extra files that are not needed.
3.
Assign root notes to each of the files if you want to ensure blackbox maps the files to the correct note. For
example, if you recorded a sample for C3 and you want that sample to be used when you play C3 and
pitched shifted for notes on either side of it, then set the root note parameter for that WAV file to C3. Do
this for each of the pitched samples that you recorded. This means you will have to load each WAV into a
pad individually in order to set the root note. Be sure to save the WAV file after you set the root note so the
setting will be saved into the file.
4.
Open the Preset where you want to use the multi-
sample pack. Let’s call it MySong.
5.
Create a new sample pad and use “Load All” to load the multi
-
sample preset’s folder into the sample. For
our example, that wou
ld mean using “Load All” for the folder
\presets\MyBank into the multi-sample pad.
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.
Save and Load Parameters in WAV Files
There are several pad parameters that blackbox can read from and write to WAV files. There parameters are:
