Hi All,
I realize it has been asked before, but the Bitbox Micro has had some firmware updates. I am really stuck on choosing between the Erica Synths Sample Drum and the Bitbox Micro. I want to use a sampler mostly for mangling loops and/or playing one shot drum samples, with external triggers (preferably no midi).
I love the hands on feeling that I get when I see the sample slicing videos of the SD. There seem to be not so many videos available showing the Bitbox in action, but I from what I understand it should have quite similar capabilities.
However I read people having issues with latency when using triggers/gates instead of midi, which I am intending to do as well. I would hate to end up fighting with timing issues obviously.
The BBM has more bells and whistles, more channels, is stereo etc, but is 4hp wider and draws quite a bit more power. It also seems to be more focused on midi over cv input.
Since there have been some updates to the BBM since launch, I would be pleased to hear if anyone can tell from experience if there are actually still latency issues as that would be absolutely a deciding factor. I am also curious which one is prefered as a performance tool in a live setting and of course anything I didn't mention that might be a thing to consider.
Thanks!!
