1010music bitbox MK2: The modern sampling solution for the Eurorack system

The 1010music bitbox MK2 builds on the success of the original and takes sampling in Eurorack format to the next level. With a host of features designed specifically for creative music makers and modular synthesizer enthusiasts, the bitbox MK2 sets new standards in audio production. This improved version of the popular bitbox features a larger and more responsive 3.5-inch touchscreen and twice the processing power for a significantly faster and more versatile sampling experience. Thanks to the internal effects such as delay and reverb, the bitbox MK2 expands the creative bandwidth and enables experimental soundscapes directly in the Eurorack system.

1010music: Innovative developer for modular systems

The company 1010music is known for its modern and innovative approaches in the field of modular synthesizers. With a wide range of modules specially tailored to the needs of music producers and sound designers, 1010music has made a name for itself as a reliable provider of creative tools for electronic music production. The bitbox MK2 epitomizes 1010music's commitment to quality and ease of use, providing a powerful solution to the needs of the Eurorack community. With its powerful hardware and versatile options for controlling and editing samples, the bitbox MK2 is an ideal addition to any modular setup.

Technical details and functions of the 1010music bitbox MK2

The bitbox MK 2 features a high-resolution 3.5-inch touchscreen that makes controlling and editing samples intuitive and precise. The doubling of processing power compared to the first generation enables faster loading times and seamless navigation through the various functions. These hardware upgrades make the bitbox MK2 a powerful tool for live performances and studio applications. With the ability to play back up to 24 stereo voices when samples are stored in the internal 64 MB memory, or eight stereo streams from a microSD card, the bitbox MK2 offers impressive versatility.

The bitbox MK2 is equipped with 16 stereo sample pads per preset, which can be used for different modes such as single and multisamples, clips, slicers or even granular sounds. MIDI and CV controllability allow the parameters of the sample pads to be modulated in creative ways. The MIDI Learn function makes it easy to adapt to external controllers. With eight CV inputs, numerous modulations can be made to the sample parameters, which is particularly advantageous for experimental soundscapes. The recording of multisamples is also simplified by the automation of the CV control, so that complex sound structures can be created with ease.

The bitbox MK2 offers perfect loops thanks to definable, bar-based recording lengths, making integration into rhythmic setups effortless. In addition, the device can record the master out via an internal re-sampling function without the need for additional cabling. This enables quick and uncomplicated recording of the entire mix. For maximum flexibility, the sample pads can be freely routed to the two stereo outputs, and the DC-coupled inputs and outputs ensure seamless interaction with other Eurorack modules.

Creative use of the internal effects and flexible control

Another highlight of the bitbox MK2 are the two integrated effects - delay and reverb - which are available directly in the module. These effects make it possible to enhance the sound of the samples directly without having to rely on external effects. Especially for live performances, these internal effects are ideal for dynamically adjusting the sound and integrating spatial depth into the sound image.

The bitbox MK2 also supports both TRS MIDI adapter types (Type A and Type B), making it easy to integrate into various MIDI setups. Samples can be precisely synchronized in timing via the dedicated clock input, which is particularly advantageous in modular setups that often rely on clock accuracy. The flexible control options and intuitive operation of the touchscreen make the bitbox MK2 a versatile tool that is suitable for both rhythmic and experimental sound work.

Recommendation: The bitbox MK2 - A must-have for creative audio artists

The 1010music bitbox MK2 is the ideal solution for musicians and producers looking for a flexible, powerful sampling module for their Eurorack system. With its large touchscreen, twice the processing power and extensive input and output options, it offers everything a creative sound designer needs. The ability to manage samples directly via the internal memory or microSD card makes the bitbox MK2 an indispensable tool for live and studio applications. The integrated effects and the comprehensive control options via CV and MIDI in particular offer freedom that further enhances the creative use of the module.

The bitbox MK2 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality sampling solution in Eurorack format. Whether as a central sampling tool in the studio or as a versatile instrument for the stage - the bitbox MK2 meets the highest demands in terms of sound quality, flexibility and intuitive operation. The robust construction and modern technology of 1010music guarantee a durable and reliable module that is designed for the complex requirements of modern music production.
