Hi Freebeat/Woovebox. Do we have a complete overview of all functionality somewhere online? A top down approach for all modes (Seq/Sampler/Live/Song) would be immensely helpful. Something along these lines - Mode - Page(s) Context Menu (w/options) - Page Parameter(s) (w/options) - A complete abbrevation list I am finding the onlince documentation a bit challenging to navigate.

What an outstanding product and project. And all this by just one guy? It blows my mind. It's like all the Pocket Operators combined into one device (with a smart interface) plus things that my MPC ONE does 😅 it's insane. I have mine since yesterday and the experience is awesome until now (I'm not a real musician but an enthusiast). BTW: kudos for the wonderful homepage as well, so much well organized information. How can one guy pull off all of this? 👍👍👍

On the battery replacement FAQ on your website, you mention "please contact us to walk you through the proper procedure". Could you please upload a video of the procedure?
@woovebox4 ай бұрын
This is really a post-warranty thing; all Wooveboxes should still be well within warranty at this point. It's easy to damage your Woovebox by opening it up for no good reason (voiding warranty), so please don't. The battery is good for at least 500 cycles, after which it should still retain 80% capacity.

So just got Woovebox today. Wow. I love it. Really great device. I noticed my big vol/selection knob is a bit wobbly like it’s loose. Is this normal. Feels like it might come off. Can I tighten it. Felt this way from moment I took it from the case. Anyhow I love the Woovebox. Very cool
@woovebox8 ай бұрын
Great to hear you're liking your Woovebox! The value knob (encoder) indeed has a little play on all units (it's not just yours!). This is normal for this specific encoder. Hope that helps!

(Great device and help from Woovebox) If wondering like me why the chord track faintly sounds into other patches (it's supposed to for harmonic content, see reply from Woovebox). Struggling to connect / update (see reply from Woovebox) I think perseverance may be the key and a youtube tutorial. There's lots of things to try - go deep.
@woovebox8 ай бұрын
The chord track faintly sounds in the background for instruments that are made to follow it, to give you harmonic context. If that is undesirable, simply solo the track you're working on. With regards to connecting, if you have tried a whopping 6 devices, it sounds like something else is going on. Please follow the instructions for setting up a connection on any of the operating systems *to the letter* (and please be aware that your Woovebox can only connect to one device at a time). If Wooveconnect connects successfully, but your connection is suffering from packet loss, please also pay attention to the "enhancing connection stability" section on the website. If all fails, please send me an email with exactly where things start to deviate from what is expected according to the guides for you.

@woovebox6 ай бұрын
Setting BPM is part of the quick start guide (e.g. this section; www.woovebox.com/support/guides--tutorials/quick-start/set-song-bpm). I'm sorry to hear you are getting frustrated. Is there anything in particular you find frustrating or unclear?

Thanks, FreeBeat! Did they fix your encoder wheel?
@woovebox9 ай бұрын
The "over-enthusiastic" encoder issue was fixed with a firmware update (2413), and behavior further enhanced depending on parameter type (e.g. for large-range parameters vs small range). Further (unrelated) encoder behavior enhancements were made in (2488). Community feedback FTW! 😀

@@woovebox, I read somewhere to be very careful when powering on the unit not to touch the "write/play" buttons while doing so. The encoder is behaving much more reliable when I am aware of this fact.

May I suggest… Will you show how to do a 16 note sequence? Nothing else, just *basic.* You need to assume some of us are 100% new to such a device and to us, it seems very complicated even though you say it’s so simple. Thanks.
@woovebox9 ай бұрын
You can find how to do that @7:20 in this video. Hope that helps! EDIT: So from 0-to-programming, it's as easy as; turn device on, select your song (optional if you need song other than 01), select your track (one out of 16 available), play a note/slice/percussion you want to program, hold write, press the steps (1-16) where you want the thing to go.

Just got my Woovebox today and wondering about the write and play buttons. Are they supposed to be touch sensitive? Seems I have to press hard to get them to register?

They are indeed touch sensitive. You do not have to press hard, but you *do* have to make sure your finger covers the entire surface area of the pads.

@@steveedwards4495 Not to worry - there is very little to break or mis-manufacture regarding the capacitive touch buttons. :) Depending on the firmware you're on, sensitivity was tweaked slightly as well. Also be sure not touch the buttons during power on, as they get re-calibrated during every boot-up to ensure they exhibit consistent sensitivity.

BLE is indeed the only way to connect to the device. The USB port is for charging only. You can, however, add a cheap dongle to any laptop, or - for a much more hassle free experience - consider a WIDI Bud Pro (recommended!).

I want this machine to sampling. Is it difficult to use it?.
@woovebox8 ай бұрын
It depends what you want from your sampler. There is a line-in, and you have 60s of recording time (44.1kHz @ 8-bit compressed ~ 12-bit dynamic range). That in itself isn't going to blow anyone away these days. *However* what you can do with any sampled material is very, very sophisticated - particular at this physical size and price point. For example, samples can be used as oscillators (instead of the standard saw/square/sine/tri/noise stuff) for deep sound design, and you can even do multi-sampled instruments. There is all the standard auto-slicing, slice editing, and other things you would expect. There are also many lo-fi settings and effects if that's your thing. On the Woovebox, samples are more meant for augmenting the 16x synths. They are meant to *compliment* your production, rather than *be* your production (if that makes sense). This is the use case for samples in most genres of EDM. If you do sample-heavy hip hop though, you may possibly want something beefier with more memory. Of course, the OG hip hop artists made do with much less sample space than 60s, so it depends on your needs and style of music.
