CREATE A NEW PRESET AND CONFIGURE
PADS

Let’s get you working with bitbox mk2 by creating a new preset and configuring the
different pad modes. This section will also cover managing and recording WAV files.

Starting a New Preset

First, create a new preset that will be used to store the
configuration parameters you select.

To Create a New Preset:

1.

Push the HOME button repeatedly until you
see the Menu screen. Touch the Presets option
to display the Preset Management screen. The
Preset Management screen shows a list of the
presets stored on the microSD card with a
menu across the top. The currently selected
preset is highlighted in blue.

2.

Touch File then New in the top menu. A new
preset is added to the list with the name New
Preset. You can use the on-screen keyboard to
change the name.

3.

Touch Clear to erase the preset name. Then
use the on-screen keyboard to type in a new
name. Turn the knob to change where you are
typing. Use the carat button ^ to toggle
between upper- and lower-case letters. Touch
the 123 button to display the numeric keyboard
if needed.

4.

When the name is complete, touch Enter to
save the name and go to the Presets screen
with the new preset selected. The new preset
is loaded. Push HOME to go back to the Pads
screen.

Note:

► If you attempt to save the file using a name that is already in use on the microSD

card, bitbox mk2 will append “ 2” to the end of the name to make it unique.

Note:

► The MIDI input is compatible with both Type A and Type B mini TRS connections.

Be sure to use a TRS cable and not a TS cable. Read the blog post Mini

TRS

Jacks for MIDI Connections Compatibility Guide

on our website at

https://

1010music.com/stereo-minijacks-midi-connections-compatibility-guide

for more

details about Type A and Type B TRS connections.

► Bitbox mk2 by default responds to MIDI inputs on all MIDI Channels. You can

change this in the

Tools

screens as described above.

► Bitbox mk2 can also use MIDI inputs on a specific channel to trigger playback of

slices within a Slicer pad. See

To Use MIDI Notes to Play Slices

below for more

information.

► The MIDI parameter for a pad can be used to configure a pad to be triggered by

a MIDI channel other than the one specified for MIDI Pads. We’ll talk about this
some more we when cover Cell Parameters later.
