MANAGE PRESETS
Bitbox micro stores a set of pad congurations, FX settings and Mixer settings as a
preset. You can save as many presets as you want, as long as there is room for the les
on your microSD card. When you turn on bitbox micro, it automatically loads the most
recently used preset on this microSD card. The microSD card that comes with bitbox
micro has dozens of presets and corresponding WAV les.
When bitbox micro loads a preset, it loads the set of WAV les and congured
parameters for each pad saved in the preset. Review the provided presets to see some
examples of bitbox micro features in action. The presets that are loaded on bitbox micro
use only a fraction of the WAV les that are available on the microSD card. You can use
the microSD card to load your own WAV les into bitbox micro, as well as record new
ones. Bitbox micro also enables you to customize and create your own presets.
Presets are saved on the microSD card when you choose to save them. If you load a
dierent preset without rst saving the current preset, you will lose your work. If
you change to a dierent microSD card, you will have a dierent set of presets. When
you switch to a dierent preset, all previous settings will be replaced with the settings of
the newly selected preset, which may be blank.
Bitbox micro stores all of the preset xml les in sub-folders under the \Presets folder.
Each preset has its own sub-folder with the name of the preset, and a preset.xml le
within that sub-folder. E.g. the preset My Kickin Grooves will be stored as a le named
preset.xml in the \Presets\My Kickin Grooves folder. When you rst start working with
the preset, it will point to the WAV les in their source folders. The Pack function will
copy all of the used WAV les into the preset folder.
When you create a new recording, it will be stored in the folder for that preset. For
example, the rst new recording for the My Kickin Grooves preset will be saved as
\Presets\My Kickin Grooves\RC000001.wav.
In summary:
■ All of the preset folders are gathered under one \Presets folder at the root.
■ Before you Pack a preset le, the .xml le lives in its own sub-folder under
\Presets which is created as soon as you create a preset, but the WAV les stay
in their source folders until you pack them.
All presets have a le named preset.xml under the folder that has the name of the
preset. This le contains all of the settings for this preset.
We covered how to create a new preset in To Create and Name a Preset above. We will
cover more preset and WAV le management tasks next.
