Deliver powerful sampling and audio mangling for Eurorack with the 1010 Music bitbox mk2, an intuitive sampler that adds recording, sample playback, clip launching, slicing, granular sounds, and musically intelligent looping capabilities to your Eurorack rig. With its integrated 3.5" touchscreen that's designed to simplify selecting, editing, and tweaking your samples, the bitbox mk2 allows you to tweak and save your configurations for future use.
You can stream large samples of up to 4GB file size straight from the microSD card. Interact with other musical components via CV and MIDI. You can also download fxbox and synthbox firmware from the 1010 Music forum and install it on your bitbox mk2 to get three modules in one. Swap to the fxbox firmware to get effects processing, or the synthbox firmware to play with wavetable synthesis. The bitbox mk2 includes a 3.5mm to DIN MIDI adapter and a ribbon cable.
- Play up to 24 polyphonic notes when your samples fit in the 64MB of internal memory or up to 8 larger samples streaming directly from the microSD card
