INTRODUCTION
Welcome to bitbox mk2. Bitbox mk2 puts powerful digital sampling and mangling for
Eurorack at your ngertips. With this module, you can capture samples one at a time,
automate creation of a multi-sample pack, or port over samples from your computer.
You can play back samples in interesting ways, including slicing, granular sounds and
musically intelligent looping capabilities. You can add more interaction by using CV and
MIDI to trigger and modulate samples and eects. You can stream large samples of up
to 4 GB le size straight from the microSD card. Tweak your congurations to get them
just right, then save them to multiple presets for future reuse. With its 3.5 inch
touchscreen, bitbox mk2 makes easy work of selecting, editing, and tweaking your
samples. The more powerful processor of the mk2 enables you to do more with your
samples, including play more polyphony and apply reverb and delay to your sounds.
This manual will walk you through all of the capabilities of bitbox mk2. If you want to
start playing right away, please consult the Quick Start Guide found in the box and
available at 1010music.com/mk2docs.
We will start by reviewing the general workow used with bitbox mk2, then continue with
an overview of the controls. Next, we will cover how to install the module in your rack
and do initial setup of the rmware options. Once the module it set up, we will describe
how to create a preset and congure pads. This will include a discussion of the dierent
pad modes, and how to record a new WAV le. Once you have pads setup, we will
apply eects and adjust the mix. Next, we will go into more depth about preset
management tasks. That will be followed by a discussion of how to use MIDI and CV to
interact with the module, including triggering pads, modulating parameters and
synchronizing clocks. To go deeper, we will discuss how to use presets as templates
and some processor management tips. After that, we will cover how to backup your
presets and WAV les, and upgrade or swap your rmware.
This user manual documents the functionality available in
version 1.0.8 of bitbox mk2. If you have an earlier version
of the mk2 rmware, you can upgrade for free. See Install
New Firmware below for the steps to upgrade. To
determine which version of the rmware you are running,
push the Home button repeatedly until you see the Menu
screen shown on the right. The number in the lower right
corner is the current version. The screen shot shows
version 1.0.8.

GENERAL WORKFLOW
The bitbox mk2 module allows you to record and
playback samples in creative ways. When working with
bitbox mk2, you create presets that store the selection of
samples and parameters that you want to use together.
You can create any number of presets,
limited only by the space available on your microSD card
(up to 256 GB cards). You can get even more space by
getting more microSD cards.
When creating a preset, you start by assigning a WAV le
or bank of ies to each pad. Once loaded, bitbox mk2
shows you a visual representation of your WAV les.
Here you can set the Pad mode and adjust start, length,
and loop points. You can also cut the samples into slices
that can be triggered independently. Touch screen pinch
and stretch gestures allow you to zoom into the display of
the wave le to get more precise control when you need
it, and also allow you to zoom out to see the whole
picture.
You then use the parameter screen to adjust playback
settings for the pad, and congure modulation sources
for some parameters, such as pitch and lter. Here you
can apply an envelope, change between gate, toggle and
trigger mode, control looping, and congure MIDI options.
You can also record a new wav le or a bank of wav les
into a pad if you want to create your own sounds.
Once you have some pads set up, you can trigger them
on the pads screen, play notes with them on the Keys or
Grid screen, or use an external MIDI or CV controller to
trigger them.

FX Screen Mix Screen
To further rene your sound, you use the FX screen to apply delay and reverb, and then
use the Mix screen to adjust level and pan per pad.
To save your work, you will save the Preset. The preset stores all of the pad settings,
FX settings and Mix settings.
The diagram on the next page shows the general navigation ow for bitbox mk2. In
general, you push INFO to drill down for more information and HOME to go back a
screen. At the highest level, HOME will toggle between the Pads and Menu screens.
Push INFO to get more information about the item selected on screen. Some screens
have buttons you can touch to navigate to other functions. On some screens, like Pad
Parameters or Keys, you can touch the grid icon in the top left to select a dierent pad
to edit. We will go into more detail about all of this below as we describe each area of
functionality.
For now, we recommend you use the diagram on the next page to just get an idea of the

FRONT PANEL AND CONTROLS OVERVIEW
The front panel of bitbox mk2 contains a touch screen, control knobs, HOME and INFO
buttons, a MIDI input jack, a clock input jack, 2 audio input jacks, 20 CV input jacks and
4 audio output jacks as shown in Front Panel Overview. This manual will refer to the
controls, inputs and outputs of the module using the labels shown in this gure.
The touchscreen displays the rmware running on the module and allows you to use
touch gestures to interact with the rmware. The INFO and HOME buttons are used to
navigate the screens. Press INFO to view the information screen for the current
selection. In some cases, you can press INFO more than once to get to deeper
information. The HOME button takes you back a screen. If you get lost, you can push
HOME until you get back to the Pads screen.
The control knobs are used to cycle through options on the screen. When there are
several parameters on the screen, use the control knob closest to a parameter to set its
value.

Front Panel Overview

Below the screen and knobs there are a series of mini jacks that are used for MIDI and
control voltage input and output. The MIDI input jack allows you to trigger pads and
modulate signals. You can also use the MIDI clock to synchronize playback. The
CLOCK input is used to sync with a CV clock signal. The two audio inputs (IN1 and IN2)
are used to record WAV les and for more precise modulation. The grid of mini jacks
directly below the screen can accept CV signals to trigger pads. The right two columns
of jacks can be used to modulate parameters.
Bitbox mk2 allows the user to congure how the audio outputs of the pads are routed to
FX1, FX2, OUT1, and OUT2, either as mono or stereo signals.
The MICRO SD slot accepts a microSD card that is used to store WAV les and
presets. All of your data and settings are stored on the microSD card.
Pads Screen Overview
The Pads screen of the bitbox mk2 rmware provides
ready access to the WAV les in the selected preset. The
grid on the Pads screen contains 16 gray pads that can
each be assigned one WAV le or a folder of WAV les.
Each preset may contain a dierent conguration of WAV
les and parameters. The pads display the abbreviated
name of the selected WAV le or folder. A blue bar across
the bottom of the pad represents the playback state of Pads Screen
the pad. The four pads along the right side of the screen, labeled EXT1 through EXT4,
are mapped to external inputs jacks. The column of jacks to the left of the EXT jacks
can also be used as additional external inputs EXT5 through EXT8, in addition to
simultaneously being used to trigger samples mapped to those pads.
You can touch a pad on the screen to select it. The selected pad is highlighted pink.
Press the INFO button to drill down and see more information about that pad. In some
cases you can then press INFO again to access more information about the pad. Press
HOME to navigate back up the screen hierarchy. You can also use the control knobs to
scroll through the pads. The top two knobs scroll horizontally, and the bottom left knob
scrolls vertically. The control knobs allow you to select a pad without triggering it. The
bottom right knob switches the right column of the display to toggle between the EXT
display and the clipboard menu.
A counter in the top left corner of the screen tracks the number of measures and beats
(e.g. 2:3 in the example) that have played since the clock started. Reset the measure
counter by powering down the module, stopping the CV clock input for a few seconds,
or sending a MIDI Start signal.

Note:
► When the user interface is ipped, the alignment of the knobs will be slightly
higher than the on-screen elements that they control. However, the general
orientation mapping will be correct.
SETUP BITBOX MK2
In this section we will discuss how to install the bitbox mk2 module in a Eurorack, insert
the microSD card, and congure some general settings.
Choose an Orientation
Bitbox mk2 can be congured so that the user interface will be right side up with either
the touchscreen at the top of the module, or at the bottom. We originally designed the
module to run with the touchscreen on the top of the module, and the text on the face
plate right side up. If you are running the module in a tabletop ski and want to be able
to access the touchscreen without reaching over the cables, install the module with the
touchscreen at the bottom. You can purchase an inverted face plate on our website if
you like to work with the screen below the jacks. Think about how you want to use the
module and decide on the orientation that will work for your setup. We will talk about
how to ip the user interface when we congure the general module settings.
Rack Installation
Let’s make sure you have a compatible Eurorack. Bitbox mk2 requires a +12V
connection and uses the standard 16-pin ribbon cable to connect to the rack. You
should always power down the Eurorack when connecting new modules. Remove
bitbox mk2 from the packing material and attach the ribbon cable to the back of the
module. The cable is the same on both ends so it does not matter which end is inserted
into the module. However, the connector must be in the correct orientation. The
connector on the module is keyed so the ribbon cable won’t easily t in the wrong
orientation. The correct orientation places the edge of the
ribbon cable with the red line on the left side of the
module as shown in the photo to the right. Next, connect
the other end of the ribbon cable to the power supply for
your Eurorack. Be careful when connecting to the
Eurorack power supply because not all power supplies
are keyed to ensure correct orientation. The ribbon cable
should be connected to the power supply so that the
edge of the ribbon cable with the red line is aligned with
the −12V pins on the power supply bus. When you power
up, watch closely to make sure that the module powers
up. If the touch screen doesn’t respond right away, turn
o the rack and conrm the cable orientation. 1010music Ribbon Cable

Note:
► A microSD card must be inserted into bitbox mk2 before you can get started. All
presets are stored on the microSD card.
► Preset changes are only saved when you choose to save them.
modules do contain some buering to prevent burning
out the module but that only
buers for so long. Don’t power up yet.
Next make sure the microSD card that came with the
module is inserted into the MICRO SD slot. Most
modules come with the microSD card already inserted.
The card should be inserted with the straight edge
closest to the touchscreen. Bitbox mk2 has been tested
with microSD cards that hold up to 256 GB of data, but
theoretically can support even larger cards. Now you can
power up the rack. The module should start up in less
than 10 seconds and you will see the Pads screen as
shown on the right.
Pads Screen
Connect an Output
In order to hear the sounds that are playing on your bitbox mk2, you will need to
connect the outputs to some speakers. Start by inserting two mini TS cables to the
OUT1 and OUT2 jacks and then connecting the other ends to your mixer or speakers.
Connect an Input
Bitbox mk2 accepts several dierent forms of input. For now we will set up some basic
inputs to get you started. If you are going to use a MIDI device to drive your bitbox mk2,
connect it to the MIDI input on the bitbox.
Note:
► The Bitbox mk2 MIDI input is compatible with both Type A and Type B mini
TRS connections. For information about MIDI adapters and compatibility see
our knowledge base article at https://1010music.com/stereo-minijacks-midi-
connections-compatibility-guide.
► Use the provided mini TRS to MIDI 5 Pin DIN adapter to connect to a standard
MIDI cable.

You can also use control voltage (CV) signals with bitbox. If you prefer this method,
connect some CV signals from other modules or devices to one or two CV Trigger jacks
in the array of jacks below the touch screen. Connect one input in the right column of
CV Trigger jacks, and another input in one of the rst four columns. Congure your
external device to send a varying CV signal in the -5V to +5V range.
Tools
Before we dive into using the module, we will congure
some general module settings via the Tools screen.
To access these settings, press the HOME button
repeatedly until you see the Menu screen shown on the
right. Touch Tools to display the Tools screen. Use the
control knob closest to the parameter to adjust its value.
Touch the tabs at the bottom of the screen to access
additional settings.

MasterVol Controls the output level to Out 1 and Out 2.
Flip UI This will turn the user interface upside down so you can use the module
with the touchscreen on the bottom. As soon as you change the value for
Flip UI, the user interface will be inverted. This means you will need to
change which control knob you use to change it back. The input jacks are
mapped to the new orientation as well.
Compressor When set to On, bitbox mk2 will apply a compressor to the signals sent to
Out1 and Out2.

Rec RecToPlay If you have RecToPlay set to ON, bitbox mk2 will automatically start to play
the new sample when recording ends if the Length parameter was set to a
value other than Custom for recording.
RecCong When this is set to Global, changes made to recording settings on the Pad
Loading and Recording screen will apply to all empty pads. When this is set
to Per Pad, these changes only change the current pad and do not change
what is used for other empty pads. Use Per Pad when you want to set up a
Template preset with dierent recording congurations for each pad.
MIDI In MIDI Pads Species which MIDI channel is used to trigger pads. If a channel selected
here is also chosen as the MIDI IN channel for a pad, that pad will also play
notes in response to signals received on this MIDI channel. See the section
Use MIDI and CV with Bitbox mk2 below for more information.
When this parameter is set to Omni, pad hits and can be triggered by all
MIDI channels. However, any MIDI channel that is assigned as the MIDI In
for a pad or as the MIDI Keys parameter will be excluded from the list of
channels that will trigger pad hits when MIDI Pads is set to OMNI.
MIDI Program Change messages received on this channel will be
processed by bitbox mk2if the ProgChange parameter is set to ON.
ProgChange When set to ON, bitbox mk2 will respond to MIDI program change
messages received on the MIDI Pads and MIDI Keys channels by opening
the Preset that maps to the specied program number. See the section Use
MIDI and CV with Bitbox mk2 below for more information. Program change
messages on other channels will be ignored.
Remember that bitbox mk2does not automatically save changes. This
means that when you change presets you will lose any unsaved changes.
MIDI Keys Species which MIDI channel is used to play notes for the currently selected
pad. If a channel selected here is also chosen as the MIDI IN channel for a
pad, that pad will also play notes in response to signals received on this
MIDI channel. See the section Use MIDI and CV with Bitbox mk2 below for
more information.
When this parameter is set to Omni, notes will be triggered for the currently
selected pad by all MIDI channels. However, any MIDI channel that is
assigned as the MIDI In for a pad or as the MIDI Pads parameter will be
excluded from the list of channels that will trigger notes for the currently
selected pad.
MIDI Program Change messages received on this channel will be
processed by bitbox mk2if the ProgChange parameter is set to ON.
At the top of the Tools page, you can see two numbers. The left number (9GB in the
sample screenshots) is the space remaining on the microSD card. The other number
(1.0.8 in the sample screenshots) is the current rmware version number.
When you are done, press the HOME button to go back to the Pads screen.

Working in Flipped Mode
When the value for Flip UI is set to ON, the user interface on the touch screen will be
inverted. Use this setting when the module is installed in a rack with the touchscreen on
the bottom. When ipped, the rmware adjusts how the buttons, control knobs and CV
Trigger jacks are mapped to the user interface. One noteworthy change is that the
HOME and INFO buttons now reverse functions. This is done so that HOME is always
on the left and INFO is always on the right. The alignment of the control knobs in this
mode is slightly high compared to the parameters on the touch screen. However, the top
left control knob will control the top left parameter, and the lower right control knob will
control the lower right parameter. The CV trigger inputs are also now mapped to the
inverted display. The input jacks and output jacks maintain their original assignments.
The image below shows the face plate labels for an inverted module.

Test Your Setup
Before we start creating our own presets, let’s make sure the module is setup properly
by playing back some content from a preset that comes with the module and triggering
playback through external inputs.
Use the Touchscreen to Trigger a Cell
Bitbox mk2 automatically loads the last used preset when you start it up. Trigger
playback of a WAV le by touching a pad in the grid that has a name displayed. You will
see a blue progress bar appear at the bottom of the pad during playback. You will hear
the WAV le played back through the audio output selected for that pad. The default
presets are congure to play out through OUT1 and OUT2.
Trigger a Cell via Control Voltage Signal
You can use an external signal to trigger the playback of a pad. Plug a trigger source
into one of the CV Trigger jacks. The CV Trigger jacks are mapped to the pads on the
touchscreen. The pad that corresponds to the used CV Trigger jack will now be
triggered when the CV Trigger input receives a high signal of around 5V. Depending
on the Launch Mode selected for the pad, you may need to send another CV Trigger to
stop playback of the pad.
Trigger a Cell via MIDI Input
You can use MIDI signals to sequence samples and get a
more tactile play mode. Connect your MIDI source to the
MIDI input jack, and congure the MIDI source to use the
channel specied for MIDI Pads in Tools. (See Tools
above to learn how to set the MIDI Pads channel.) Now
you can use the MIDI device to trigger pads. MIDI inputs
for notes 36 to 51 map to the pads in the grid as shown in
the diagram on the right. EXT1 through EXT4 are
assigned notes 55 to 52 for use as Recording triggers.
However, these MIDI mappings for notes 52 to 55 do not
work with modulation.

details about Type A and Type B TRS connections.
► Bitbox mk2 by default responds to MIDI inputs on all MIDI Channels. You can
change this in the Tools screens as described above.
► Bitbox mk2 can also use MIDI inputs on a specic channel to trigger playback of
slices within a Slicer pad. See To Use MIDI Notes to Play Slices below for more
information.
► The MIDI parameter for a pad can be used to congure a pad to be triggered by
a MIDI channel other than the one specied for MIDI Pads. We’ll talk about this
some more we when cover Cell Parameters later.
