You're now officially a loop op(erator) with these two beauties.

And today my life changed forever, I’m just getting into understanding euro rack possibilities and this does a bunch of stuff I was trying to do but was frustratingly difficult because I was pushing my equipment to its limits. This seems to do it all and it’s meant to. Wow

This video made me think about eurorack because of how much I wanted the Bitbox micro in my setup, but I couldn't pull that big of a trigger. I just bought a Nanobox tangerine, which seems to have a lot in common with it, and can't wait to try it out! As always, even from across the years, thank you Loopop!!!

Is it possible to record CV and play it back using time stretch to follow clock changes ? This would make the bitbox a nice CV sequencer. If so, how many simultaneous CV output channels could the two models support ?

Wow, what a great video. SUPER helpful and informative for someone trying to pick one or the other and what each does. Thanks very much!

I was wondering if you can have all cells looping and then swap out loops on the fly without it interupting playback? IE. Being able to switch the cells out with different tracks to be used in live mixing.

Thanks for the very informative video! I wanted to know if its possible to trigger samples by choosing which MIDI note is triggered. For example, pressing C2 would trigger the 1st sample and pressing D2 would trigger another one? Do you have to use separate MIDI channels or notes can also be used? Thank you very much! :)

is there any way to assign pads to different inputs? for ex: I have my clock on input 8 so I'd like input 7 to trigger both 7 and 8 to launch loops. Is it possible?

Hi there I have searched the web for much of the day but can't seem to find an answer, by rights can i use a minibrute 2s to sequence different samples in the bitbox? Could I use a keystep to trigger different drum sounds on the bitbox ? What are the sequencing options besides forking out for a eurorack sequencing module (like eloquencer or Nerdseq etc) any advice would be much appreciated and thanks!

When I set up a multisampled polyphonic pad, and attempt to CV control pitch, if the tail of the note lasts past the start of the next note, that note also gets shifted when the pitch changes, resulting in jarring portamento. Anyone know how to/if you can setup polyphony so the triggered note stays at the pitch set by the CV in at the time it was triggered, rather than following the CV as it changes?

Anyone know why I can’t see the pad mode window or change it to multi sample mode? There is no other box between Rec and the pad matrix.

Thanks for the awesome video, but how in the world do I multi-sample via CV with the Bitbox Mk2? You covered doing MIDI multi-sample with the Micro but not CV/Gate with the Mk2, and I can not seem to find instructions anywhere. (Maybe its not possible and went over my head). Thanks again

Option to place upside down seems like a good thing for using the touch screen on vertical euroracks like yours.

How much of the interface could be navigated by midi? The question is mostly around the idea of using a midi controller to select the pad, and then arm and enter loop record mode. If it were possible to record without having to touch the screen at all, that could be great for my way of performing live.

Man, you know how to make a review. Insane one

The closing music is sublime

How can you tell the difference between the MK1 and MK2? Hard to buy it used, especially when its not powered on.

Can these devices accept CV to modulate the attack and decay of samples/segments ala the Erica Sample Drum?

I am trying to decide whether to keep the bitbox or get the micro or get sth. else and this was really helpful.

Is it possible to modulate panning with MIDI or CV? Does panning work with mono samples?

ARe you going to do a review on the squarp Rample 4 voice sampler for eurorack? I just got one and have only seen 2 videos on it. Thanks again.

i own a squid salmpler but looking to replace it. im thinking of the micro since despite the cool feats and sound of the squid is tedious to remember all sorts of button combos to do something. On squid there are trigger ins to trigger a loaded sound and i do this from my beatstep pro. to do the same on micro i guess i have to turn all inputs on gate mode?

Could everyone please share a procedure to perform multisampling of a vst in ableton live with the Bitbox Micro? I’m really having a hard time with this, ableton does not receive midi notes from the Micro. Thanks!

hey, it is possible to controle a starting point, (loop, or play sample) with cv information ?

Thanks for this! Looks like they've made some intriguing improvements to bitbox. Is the loop quantization decent at keeping transients on beat with the MIDI clock, a la Ableton's sample warping? It's cool that they've added some more options for slice ordering, too. Gotta make the hard choice about which size to go for though...

Hey, obviously I'm not Loopop, but... I've been trying to figure out which sample module to buy, and I kinda came down to the Erica DS and the BB Mk2. I currently own nothing by either, so I'm speaking purely from an interested party perspective, not an experienced user. I'm definitely going for the BB2 though, no question... Longer sample time (unlimited, as opposed to 5 minutes, but hey, Erica, 5 minutes is still pretty fucking awesome) 4 tracks rather than 2 More modulation As an Ableton user, it saves presets as .als files, so that's really handy A fucking touchscreen, with pretty damned minimal menu diving, and what there is is pretty simple, as easy as a cellphone As for audio manipulation and so on, well... Just like the Erica SD, BB2 depends heavily on the other modules you connect to. I'm about to throw down on the BB2, having looked into the Erica SD. The choice is obvious for me. Other users may disagree, and that's cool, but for me, BB2 looks so far ahead.

The bitbox mk2 and bitbox micro have a slightly better processor than the blackbox. The RAM is the same. As far as the polyphony count, you can expect similar results.

This looks like a winner! What is the RTL? Samplerate? Would have been nice with velocity-gate triggered inputs! DC coupled in and out now i hope? Would have been nice to hear how good audiorate modulation sounded like...aliasing much? Midi CC# or pitchbend for all parameters to control the unit via external sequencer, control surface like Lemur (if not already in there) Multisample thing looks really great! Please add roundrobin support for the "auto sampler" and playback. What a bout a tempolocked built in LFO or 2 with different waveforms, S&H, trigger reset, one-shot...etc. To add to the modulation sources! I would suggest a triangle wave that is morphable from ramp-tri-saw and with one-shot mode and exp-lin-log slider and one-shot or looping mode....and a hold mode that keeps the wave at the highpoint and goes to the release part when gate is low.
