5. From the WAV le selection screen, use the

control knobs to scroll through the list of les

and directories. The selected le name has a

blue highlight. When looking at the list of les,

list items that start with a slash \ are

directories. Load a directory to see its contents.

The le path is displayed above the list of les.

Touch the caret ^ to go back to the parent

directory. Highlight one of the les in the

directory of samples that you want to load into

the pad. A good example of a directory to use

with multi-samples is

\Symplesound\Housepiano. You can select

any le within that directory.

6. Touch File and then Load All.

Bitbox micro will now load all of the les in the current directory into this pad and map

the les to notes across the keyboard based on the root notes dened in the WAV les.

Now, use the KEYS screen or an external MIDI controller to play notes for that pad, and

bitbox micro will play the sample with the root note that is closest to the note played,

and pitch shift as needed to achieve the necessary tone.

You can also use multi-sampling to map multiple waves across the keyboard. This can

be useful if you have a folder full of drum sounds that you want to trigger with a

keyboard. If you follow the steps above and load a folder where the les do not have

root note mappings, it will load the les in alphabetical order, map the rst le to note

C2, and then each subsequent le to the next note above that. If you load the folder

\SoundtrackLoops\SL Video Game Phrases, you can see this in action. This folder

has 8 samples which get mapped to notes C2 through G2.

You can use bitbox micro to map the les to specic notes if you want. Open the WAV

les as individual samples on bitbox micro and edit the Root Note parameter. Save the

WAV le with the root note information. See Save and Load Parameters in WAV Files

below to learn how to do this. After you have done this for all of the les in the folder,

use File-> Load All to load them all into a pad and you will hear that the notes are

mapped accordingly.

Because a multi-sample pad uses multiple samples, it is not possible to set start, length,

loop start or loop end points for these pads. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to enable

looping for these pads either. As a result, the related parameters are not used when

multiple samples are loaded in a pad.
