To Disable MIDI Triggered Recording and Pad Clearing:
If you are not careful with MIDI Triggered recording and pad clearing, you could
unintentionally clear a pad or trigger recording. If you are not using this feature, you can
disable it.
1.
Push TOOLS to open the Settings screen.
2.
Set MIDI Rec to OFF.
Summary of MIDI Pads Note Mappings
Here’s a summary of all of the note mappings that bitbox mk2 will respond to when
notes are received on a MIDI Channel:
MIDI Note Range
Mapping
C2 - D3# (36 - 51)
Trigger playback for a Pad. Pads are mapped starting in the
bottom left, moving across and then up.
E3 - G4 (52 - 67)
Trigger a Sequence. Sequences are mapped starting in the
bottom left, moving across and then up.
G#4 - B5 (68 - 83)
Trigger recording for a pad. Pads are mapped starting in the
bottom left, moving across and then up.
C6 - D#7 (84 - 99)
Clear a pad. Pads are mapped starting in the bottom left,
moving across and then up.
E7 / 100
Select Previous Pad
F7 / 101
Select the Next Pad
F#7 / 102
Play the currently selected pad
G7 / 103
Record to currently selected pad (must be empty)
G#7 / 104
Clear the currently selected pad
Trigger Recording with the MIDI Note Actions Mapping
When using the MIDI Note Actions mapping, you use a smaller number of MIDI notes
that perform the actions of selecting next pad, selecting previous pad, playing the
current pad, recording into the current pad, or clearing the current pad.
To Use MIDI Note Actions to Record or Clear a Pad:
Bitbox mk2 has allocated a range of MIDI Notes that map to actions that control pads.
To use this mapping:
1.
Set up bitbox mk2 for MIDI Triggered Recording as described above.
2.
Press the MIDI Note that maps to the desired action using the MIDI Note to
Action Map below:
MIDI Note/
Number
Action
E7 / 100
Select Previous Pad
F7 / 101
Select the Next Pad
F#7 / 102
Play the currently selected pad
G7 / 103
Record to currently selected pad (must be empty)
G#7 / 104
Clear the currently selected pad
NOTE:
► Some devices map the MIDI note numbers one octave lower. The mapping here
assumes C4 is middle C.
► If you want to configure lengths for each pad independently, make sure you have
RecConfig set to Per Pad on the Settings page.
► If you have the same MIDI channel (or Omni) for both MIDI Pads and MIDI
Keys, you will trigger both playback of the pad via MIDI Keys mode, and the
MIDI Pads mapping action when you trigger a MIDI note into bitbox mk2. This
may be fun to do, but you may want to use separate MIDI channels if you don’t
want to trigger MIDI Keys and MIDI pads behavior with the same controller.
