1010music Bitbox Micro 1.0.7 User Manual

Set Up a Clip Pad
Use Clip Mode for WAV les where you want to use synchronized loops and quantized
playback for the entire WAV le. Clip Mode works well with drum loops between one
and eight measures long, but there is no hard limit to the length. This is the only Pad
Mode that supports beat synchronization. An example of a le that works well with Clip
Mode is \SoundtrackLoops\SL Trance\SY L Arpegg 130 B.wav. This clip is used in the
preset SL Trance.
The following parameters are specic to Clip Mode:

Controls the polyphony of the pad. Select Monophonic
to restrict playback to one note at a time for this pad.
Select Polyphonic to play multiple notes at a time.
Sample pads support 8-note polyphony. Clip mode and
Slicer mode support 2-note polyphony. Granular mode
is monophonic. There is a limit of 24 voices across all
pads at one time.
Mono, Poly No

Mode
Controls whether the WAV le plays in a loop. The
whole WAV le will be played in the loop for clip pads.
Only forward looping is supported with clip pads.

Beat
Count
Enter the number of beats in the clip le to give bitbox
micro more information to work with when
synchronizing playback to the current clock. If set to
Auto, bitbox micro will attempt to detect the beat count
automatically.
Auto, 1 to 512 No
Quant Size
Use Quant Size to quantize when the playback starts
and stops. Quantization will cause playback to snap to
a musical grid with intervals specied by the Quant
Size parameter. When quantization is used, the note
trigger will cause playback to start and end on the next
quant size boundary. For example, if the Quant Size is
set to 1-bar and you press the pad, the playback will
begin at the start of the next bar.
None - always start and
stop immediately

Sync
Sync is only enabled when quantizing is enabled (the
Quant Size parameter is not None.) The Sync feature
prevents timing drift that can occur when the length
and BPM of a clip does not align exactly with the
tempo of playback. When Sync is used, bitbox micro
will realign the audio to match the clock at the step size
specied here.
Even slight dierences between WAV le BPM and
clock tempo can cause signicant drift over time.
Select a value for Sync that will control the size of the
musical unit to which the clip will be synchronized.
Choose small settings, like 1/16th, for rhythmic or
percussion clips. Choose large settings, like 1-bar, for
sustained tones or drones
None – playback will
occur at the original rate.
Looping will happen as
soon as the sample
ends.
