To Trigger Pad Hits with a MIDI Device:

Bitbox micro has a MIDI Pads parameter that defines which MIDI channel can trigger
pads. By default, this value is set to Omni, which means that it will respond to all MIDI
channels. You can configure a specific channel by changing the value of the MIDI Pads
parameter on the Settings screen.

1.

Push TOOLS to display the Settings screen.

2.

Turn the top knob to scroll to the MIDI Pads Parameter, then turn the bottom
knob to select the MIDI channel that you want to use to trigger pads. Set this
to Omni to respond to all MIDI input channels that have not been otherwise
assigned.

3.

Connect your MIDI device to the bitbox micro MIDI In jack and configure it to
use the MIDI channel selected for the MIDI Pads channel.

4.

Play some notes on your MIDI device to trigger
pads. The table on the right shows the default
mapping of MIDI note numbers to the bitbox
micro pads. The range for pads is Note 36
(usually C2) through Note 51 (usually D#3/
Eb3). You may need to shift your MIDI device
up or down octaves to reach these notes.

5.

Push HOME and you can watch the pads activate on the Pads screen as you
play notes on your MIDI device.
