Description

Bitbox mk2 brings next generation sampling to your Eurorack system with powerful features and an intuitive interface. With its crisp 3.5 inch touchscreen and enhanced processing power, this module is designed for deep, flexible sample playback, recording, and manipulation. Bitbox mk2 supports up to 16 sample pads per preset, and can stream large samples of up to 4 GB directly from a microSD card. It offers multiple playback modes including clip, slicer, granular and multi sample, while also enabling live looping and polyphonic sample triggering via MIDI or CV. Ideal for both studio production and live performance, it delivers advanced control, real-time responsiveness and creative freedom. Bitbox mk2 also lets you swap firmware to access fxbox or synthbox functionality, offering effects processing or wavetable synthesis in the same hardware. Whether you’re slicing beats, layering textures or launching loops, the Bitbox mk2 provides a high performance sampling experience in Eurorack format.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Sample Playback:
  Play up to 24 polyphonic notes from internal memory or stream up to 8 large samples from microSD with comprehensive parameter controls for expressive sound design.
• Expanded Interface and Workflow:
  A bright 3.5 inch touchscreen and faster processor allow for fluid navigation, detailed editing, and improved visual feedback while creating or performing.
• Versatile MIDI and CV Control:
  Trigger and modulate samples via gate, CV, and MIDI with flexible mappings, slice control, polyphonic playback and an easy to use MIDI Learn mode.

Advanced Sampling Capabilities:

Bitbox mk2 transforms your modular system into a feature rich sampler with deep playback and recording tools. Configure up to 16 sample pads per preset and assign them as one shots, loops, multis, slices or granular textures. Record directly from Eurorack level inputs and play samples back immediately for live looping, or save them for later use. Whether working with short hits or streaming hours of audio, the mk2 provides seamless integration with your setup. The touchscreen interface makes it easy to adjust pitch, envelopes, filter settings, gain, quantisation and more, enabling precise control over your material.

Creative Flexibility in One Unit:

Beyond its sampling features, the Bitbox mk2 includes built in effects like reverb and delay to shape your sound further. The touchscreen UI supports a flipped layout for flexible mounting in any rack. You can also load alternate firmware such as fxbox for effects processing or synthbox for wavetable synthesis, giving you three modules in one. With multi pad control, modulation routing, and parameter customisation, the mk2 adapts to a variety of workflows. Whether creating evolving ambient textures or triggering rhythmic slices, this unit is designed to inspire and evolve with your music.

Comprehensive Integration and Control:

Bitbox mk2 provides extensive connectivity to suit any modular or hybrid environment. It responds to CV, gate and MIDI inputs, including MIDI note per pad and pitch shifted playback. Modulate grain size, loop points, filter parameters and more via MIDI CCs or up to 8 CV inputs. The module supports both TRS MIDI Type A and Type B, no adapter required. Internal clock, TRS clock and MIDI clock ensure precise timing in complex setups. Assignable pad outputs and stereo or mono routing offer even more control, while preset saving makes it easy to manage complex sessions.
