PADS OVERVIEW

Pads are the onscreen cells that are used to load WAV les into Presets and to trigger

them. In this section, we will give an overview of the primary screens used when

working with Pads and how to navigate between them. In the next section, we will walk

through settings and tasks for all pads, followed by settings and tasks specic to each

pad mode. Finally, we will discuss how to record single WAV les and automate the

recording of a multi-sample bank.

The Pads Screen

When you rst turn on bitbox micro, the Pads screen is

displayed. If you move away from this screen, you can

get back here by pushing the white HOME button at the

top of the module.

The 8 squares in the bottom two rows of the screen are

the pads. Each pad displays an abbreviated name of the

WAV le or folder mapped to the pad. Each pad can be

mapped to one WAV le or a bank of WAV les. Touch a

pad to trigger it. This will also select it, as indicated by the

pink background. You can also use the knobs to select a

pad without triggering it. Depending on how the pad is

congured, a triggered sample might play all the way through each time you press it, it

might play only while you are touching the pad, or it might play until you touch it again. A

blue progress bar appears at the bottom of the pad while it is playing. You can trigger

multiple pads at once. Push the Stop button in the top right corner of the screen to halt

playback of WAV les. A white bar at the bottom of a pad indicates the pad is ready to

start at the next quantization break.

The black bar along the top of the screen displays the playback clock and the current

screen name. The number pair on the left displays the overall playback time in

measures and beats.

The Keys button in the top left displays an onscreen keyboard where you can play the

notes by pitch shifting the currently selected pad. The text between the Keys and Stop

buttons is the name of the currently selected preset. Touch this to go to the Preset

Management screen where you can save, load and create new presets.
