Thanks a lot mate! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it. I recognise your username form the Grid on DOA. What sort of stuff have you been making with it?
Thanks! The official release is still about a week off, but here's a little something in the meantime. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bZwcjJ3tNKg.html
Dan,,,,,can you find me the person who left 2 Dislikes? I need to have a word with them out side in the Back Alley....LOL.......This Video is absolutely amazing..i purchased the Bit Box 6 months ago and converted to SynthBox immediately back then and i never actually used the Bitbox and now i wanna convert back to Bitbox after seeing this Vid...Thanks so much..Very motivating..
THIS is my idea of a SEQUENCER! loop to MY beat! It needs Doepfer 102 VCF9s to get to the Fairlight CMI grunge I'm after, while the BitBox (I'm a human beatboxer 1st, love the looping!) provides needed MIDI & polyphony etc. to a rack. I like the blacked out stealth color scheme. It really makes a spaceship!
oh shit... that multi break. sold me this is exactly what i want in my rack... as im going for a live improv jungle system...would love a quick tut on how you actually set that up....
Great video and great review, i am also curious how this slicing and playback worsk for drum and bass / jungle. Using an external sequencer ? But how ?? Anyone who can help me out ?
Absolutely. I can listen to Let The Power Fall all day every day. Sadly I have not had the pleasure of meeting him, however I have videoed his lovely wife in a professional capacity.
Bitbox comes with quite a large sample library, but these are all samples I made myself or collected over the years. You can download the 4 files I used the "sample" mode section here: forum.1010music.com/forum/products/bitbox/general-discussion/1578-factory-presets
Dan question. I’m new to eurorack and I’m finding some terms about this Bitbox a little confusing as it relates to your title. I currently seen Bitbox and Bitbox MK2 being sold at distributors. You called your title Bitbox 2.0. Is that the same thing as the Bitbox MK2 or are you referring to the original Bitbox with a 2.0 firmware update installed? It would be very helpful if you clarified this in your video. Especially for us newbies
Are you able to get proper slice randomization to work when you've got, say, 30 slices in each of 5 sample slots? I seem to have crossed some threshold where my slice selection just doesn't change despite the various CV inputs I'm feeding it. Even on the screen it's clearly just re-triggering the same slice every time. In the manual it says that having cells in slicer mode limits the polyphony to 2, which seems to indicate a limitation in how much it can handle effectively when dealing with slices. Have you encountered this? Side note - perhaps I just wasn't paying enough attention, but it is not clear to me whether you are affiliated with 1010music or just a fan of their products?
Try adjusting the range of your CV. There's max of 64 slices per cell, so 30 slices will only be using less than half of the key range. Anything outside of that range will only trigger the first or last slices. I produce their demos and beta test for them, but I'm not a 1010music employee.
@@Dan_Pearson Ohhh so the selection logic doesn't scale the CV response to the number of slices? So if you only make 4 slices, you'll practically never hit the 2nd or 3rd slices with a full 0-5v LFO modulation input? Well that's a bit annoying but workable now that I know why it was happening. Thanks!
soooo nice! just one silly question at 7:50 you record new sample, but after recording it, its doesnt play automatically, after the record. do you think it is possible to autolauch the clip after the record ?
Is it possible to select the root note after you’ve sampled so the unit will map correctly to a controller ie keystep? Or do you always have to sample middle C?
