Each pad can have a different Pad Mode. You can use the same WAV file in different
pads in different pad modes.
To Load a WAV File into a Pad:
1.
Select a pad by touching it or using the control knobs to cycle through the
pads. The top control knobs move the selection horizontally. The bottom left
control knob move the selection vertically. The selected pad is highlighted
pink.
2.
Press the INFO button. If the pad was empty, the Load and Record screen will
be displayed. If the pad already had a WAV file assigned, the Waveform
screen will be displayed.
Note:
► Bitbox mk2 can support playback of up to 24 total voices across all pads at one
time. Additionally, there is a configurable limit for each pad mode as identified in
the table above. See
and
Maximum Number of Voices Supported
below for more information.

If you are on the Load and Record screen, touch Load in the top menu bar. If
you are on the Waveform screen, touch the name of the Waveform at the top
of the screen (MX_Low Floor in the screenshot above). You will now be on
the WAV File Selection screen.
4.
From the WAV File Selection screen, use the control knobs to scroll through
the list of files. The selected file name has a blue highlight. Touch Play to
preview the highlighted file. The Play button will turn blue to show that auto-
preview is enabled. Bitbox mk2 will play each WAV file one time when you
pause on it while scrolling. If you have an input trigger configured for this pad,
bitbox mk2 will play the selected WAV file whenever a trigger is received for
this pad. Touch the Play button again to disable auto-preview mode. Touch
Load to assign the selected WAV file to this pad. When looking at the list of
files, list items that start with a slash \ are directories. Load a directory to see
its contents. The file path is displayed above the list of files (e.g. Piano in the
example above.) Touch the caret ^ to navigate back up the directory tree.
Touch the back arrow <-- to go back to the previous screen.
