Description

Innovative sampling module for Eurorack - now also in black!

The bitbox mk2 Black Edition offers you professional sampling and creative sound manipulation for your Eurorack in a noble black design. With the bitbox mk2 Black Edition you expand your Eurorack setup with versatile features like recording, sample playback, clip launch, slicing, granular sounds and musically intelligent looping functions.

Experience intuitive operation with the 3.5-inch touchscreen. It makes selecting, editing, and tweaking your samples a pleasure. Stream large samples up to 4GB directly from the microSD card and interact with other musical components via CV and MIDI. Realize your musical visions by adjusting your settings until they sound perfect. Save them as presets and reuse them anytime. With the powerful hardware of the bitbox mk2 Black Edition you get the ultimate sampling solution for your Eurorack.

Best of all, you can download the fxbox and synthbox firmware from the 1010music forum and install it on your bitbox mk2 Black Edition. So you have three modules in one! Switch to the fxbox firmware for high-quality effects processing or to the synthbox firmware for inspiring wavetable synthesis. Expand your creative possibilities with bitbox mk2 Black Edition!

Features:

• 1010music - bitbox MK2 Black Edition
• Simultaneous playback of up to 24 stereo voices or streaming of up to 8 large stereo samples from a microSD card
• Flexible cell playback engine with resonant multimode filter, synchronizable LFO, modulatable ADSR envelope and more
• Granular engine with adjustable grain size, grain spread, grain count and playback speed
• Mixing with delay, reverb and master compressor effects
• DC-coupled inputs and outputs allow recording and playback of CV control voltages
• Up to 8 configurable CV inputs, up to 16 gate/trigger inputs and up to 4 audio outputs
• Adjust recording length for perfectly timed loops
• Trigger different sample slices with MIDI notes or CV
• Modulating different sample parameters via MIDI and up to 8 CV signals
• Saving and recalling presets

Functions:

Sample playback:

• Play up to 24 polyphonic notes - as long as the samples do not exceed the internal memory of 64 MB or play up to 8 large samples directly as a stream from the microSD- card
• Configure the 16 sample pads as single or multi samples, as clips, slicers, granular or as a new recording by default
• Stream large samples - maximum 4 GB - directly from microSD card
• Triggering of samples via touchscreen, CV inputs and MIDI-In
• Sample start choices: one-shot, toggle and gate start modes
• Optimize playback through a variety of sample parameters including: start position, length, pitch, gain, resonant multimode filter, loop mode, start quantization, ADSR, synchronizable LFO, exclusive grouping, clip sync, slice placement and sequencing, grain size, grain spread, grain count, MIDI notes and channel assignment

Sample Recording:

• Record Eurorack-level audio directly into the module:
• Record samples via a stereo audio input pair
• Configure each pad for stereo or mono recording with the ability to synchronize start and stop times to the clock input
• Automated multisample recording via audio threshold, MIDI and CV
• Perfectly cut loops by adjusting the recording length
• Immediate playback after end of recording for live looping
• Recording and playback of CV signals
• Make recordings up to 4 hours long
• Save samples as WAV files on the microSD card, the card can then be connected to the computer to transfer the data

Sample modes:

• 5 sample playback modes to use the samples creatively:
• Sample mode lets you launch one-shots or loops
• Sample mode pad lets you load a folder of samples onto a pad to improve pitch shifting when playing chromatically or to launch different samples with the note you play
• Clip mode allows you to play synchronized loops with constant pitch shifting
• Slicer mode lets you jump between slices of a WAV file
• Bold textures and new sounds can be created in Granular mode Inputs and outputs
• Connect up to 8 CV modulators to control numerous sample parameters
• Trigger each of the 16 pads via a dedicated gate input
• Record directly via the stereo audio inputs
• Always stay in time with CVs via the dedicated clock input
• TRS MIDI type A and also type B, no adapter required
• Route the audio signal from each pad to one of the 2 stereo audio output pairs or to one of the corresponding individual channels
• Inputs and outputs are DC-coupled, so CV signals can be recorded and played back

External control and synchronization:

• Playback can start immediately, or be synchronized via internal clock, TRS clock, or MIDI clock
• Trigger each pad independently with its own gate input
• Trigger the pads via MIDI with one note per pad
• With MIDI notes or CV you can change the pitch of single sound pads and also multi-sample pads
• Trigger different sample slices via midi notes or CV
• Modulate a variety of sample parameters via MIDI input and also up to 8 CV signals
• Quickly set up MIDI modulations through learn mode, no need to pick out CC parameters

Module features:

• A 3.5" touch screen for intuitive use and operation of all functions
• Reverb and delay
• Import or export wav files to Mac or PC with the micro SD card
• Store and recall multiple presets
• Support for larger Micro-SD cards
• "Flipped UI mode" for overhead mounting to use screen, knobs, buttons and CV inputs as usual
