TECHNICAL SPECS

On-Board Memory

Bitbox micro has 64MB of on-board RAM. However, this is a cache--not a hard limit to

what can be loaded at once.

Maximum Sample Length

Bitbox micro streams the longer samples from the microSD card, so the maximum

length is a function of the maximum le size for a sample. The maximum le size is

4GB, which can be many hours depending on the sample rate and bit depth.

Bitbox micro caches smaller samples as needed.

Samples Supported

Bitbox micro supports stereo samples. It can record in stereo and has stereo outputs.

Bitbox micro supports samples in the WAV le format. It supports 1 or 2 channel les

with 16, 24 or 32-bit resolution at any sample rate. 48kHz is the preferred sample rate.

The bitbox micro engine uses a 24-bit ADC and DAC.

WAV le names may use Alpha Numeric Characters (A-Z, 0-9) and some special

characters. The following characters are NOT allowed: double quotes, forward slash,

back slash, question mark, asterisk, less than and greater than symbols, the colon and

the pipe symbol (“ / \ ? * < > : |). File names must be less than 256 characters,

including the path name. Files that do not conform to these naming constraints will not

be recognized by bitbox micro.

Maximum Number of Voices Supported

Bitbox micro supports 16-note polyphony for pads in Sample Mode, 2-note polyphony in

Clip and Slicer Modes, and one note polyphony in Granular mode. Nothing in bitbox

micro will prevent you from trying to play 4 voices on all 8 pads at the same time.

However, the CPU can be overloaded if you play too many notes at once while also

using sequencing and fx. You can reliably play 32 voices across all pads

simultaneously. Beyond that, you may encounter some sound quality issues like

crackling. The exact breaking point depends on whether eects are running, the CPU

load and other factors.
