7. To start recording, touch the REC button at the top of the screen. If you are
using threshold recording, the recording will start once the input level meets
the threshold level specied. If you selected a time value for Length,
recording will stop after the selected length of time. The Load and Record
screen displays a running clock of measures and beats and time duration of
the recording. There may be a delay between when you touch Rec and when
the recording starts as bitbox micro waits to quantize the recording to the
selected Rec Quant time interval. See Synchronize Playback with a Clock
below for more information about clocks and quantization.
8. Touch Stop to end recording. There may be a delay between when you touch
Stop and when the recording ends due to quantization. When the recording
has stopped, the main screen is displayed with the new WAV le loaded in the
selected pad. The le name will be RC with a numeric sux. We will discuss
changing le names and managing WAV les in Manage WAV Files below. If
you have RecToPlay set to ON , bitbox micro will automatically start to play
the new sample when recording ends if the Length parameter was used for
recording.
When you record a new WAV le, the le is stored on the microSD card in the folder
associated with the preset. This folder is located under \Presets and has the same
name as the preset. For example, if your preset name is KickinGroove then your
recordings will be in the folder \Presets\KickinGroove. How you will work with these
les depends on whether you are recording samples to build a library to use in presets
in the future, or whether you are recording WAVs specically for the current preset.
If you are recording WAVs for the current preset:
1. Record WAVS until you get the les you need. The WAVs are stored in the
preset specic folder.
2. Assign the WAVs you want to use to individual pads.
3. Touch the Preset name at the top of the Pads screen to open the Preset
Management screen. If you have any other non-recordings in the preset, you
may want Pack the preset. To do so, touch File and then Pack to create
copies of the other les in the preset folder.
