The extensively equipped sampler/looper Bitbox Micro from 1010 Music is the compact version of its big brother Bitbox Mk2 and offers most of the features of the Mk2. Thanks to a powerful ARM processor, not only optimized computing processes are guaranteed, but also delay and reverb effects that can be assigned to the samples. The 2" touch screen allows precise working with the module. A total of eight inputs and outputs each are available, these can be configured individually depending on the focus of the task.
The 24-voice polyphonic module plays up to 8 samples at a time, regardless of whether they are short percussion sounds or long drones in the range of up to four gigabytes. Samples are recorded and played back in WAV format in studio-quality. Thanks to numerous CV and trigger inputs and the MIDI input, complex control from a purely modular and/or MIDI setup is easy to implement. Imagine a looped speech sample whose endpoint is permanently shifted by an LFO, add some reverb or delay, add drums and the next techno track is ready. If you just want to record the evening modular jam without any hassle, 1010 Music Bitbox Micro provides up to four hours of recording time in stereo.
This is a great little sample tool. It cannot do everything, but its evolving with new firmware updates coming steadily, and 1010Music is very open for suggestions (and support). They have a good friendly forum for this.
Compared to the bigger BitBox models, this one is more focused on many audio outputs (8 in total). You can route each pad to whatever output you want. Thats great for later effects processing, if not using the two internal effects (a delay and a reverb which sounds great, but haven't got many options/settings). Each pad has individual sends for the 2 effects.
The MIDI out works great when sampling from external keyboards, and the results are awesome. Its faster using this module for multisampling than using the good old SampleRobot software.
If you need CV outs, you should get a bigger model, but then you lose the many audio outputs - so you may need both ;-)
The 8 CV inputs can be routed internaly to control level, filters, pitch, sample positions, slides, etc. CV input 1+2 can be setup for audio (which can run through, so you don't need an extra mixer input - though I dont think the effects get applied before its a recorded sample).
I really like this little box, though it needs to be reset sometimes (power off/on), so I have placed a CP1A power supply next to it, just for that. Thats the only bad thing I can say about it, and its easily solved.
