Note:
► You can hear adjustments to pan and volume in real time when a pad is playing.
Note:
► Mute settings are not saved. No pads are muted when a preset is loaded.
ADJUST THE MIX
On the Mix screen you can adjust the volume and pan of each pad. The number on the
pad represents the dB level of the audio output. The bar at the bottom of the grid pad
represents the pan position for the pad. When the pan line is in the middle, the output is
balanced equally between left and right. A solid blue bar below the sound level indicates
a pad is actively playing. A red bar at the top of a pad indicates that pad is muted.

Note:
► The same effect parameter values are applied to all pads that are sending
signals to that effect.
► The Reverb effect is very processor intensive. Bitbox mk2 does not limit what
you can do based on anticipated processor needs. As a result, it is possible to
overdrive the processor, causing crackling and drop outs. See
below for more information about preventing sound artifacts.
► You can configure modulation to control effect parameters via MIDI or CV. See
Modulate Pad and Effect Parameters
below to learn how this is done.
