IntroductionWelcomeCongratulations! By purchasing the new SoundBITE micro youhave joined an exclusive club of re-mixers and Djs who havediscovered the future of DJ’ing - using automatic loop samples toremix tracks on the fly and mixing MIDI sequencer audio withCD/Vinyl playback in real-time!The loop sampler section is based on our successful SoundBITEmodel. You can make 24-bit loop samples (at 96kHz) in real-time atthe touch of a button without missing a beat! What's more, you canautomatically sync together up to four loops with equal ease.Previously, to make MIDI happen in time with music was a matter ofpainstaking and time-consuming tweaking of MIDI tempos andsound source pitch controls to keep them even remotelysynchronised. The SoundBITE micro automatically synchronisesaudio and MIDI with key features to further simplify and enhanceyour performance.At the heart of the SoundBITE micro is Red Sound's highlyacclaimed BPM Analysis Engine (now enhanced to ‘V3’ forimproved performance!), which shoulders the responsibility ofcalculating the tempo of the music. This leaves you free toconcentrate on mixing the loop samples and/or adjusting the realtime controls on your MIDI sequencer.With straight-forward connections and setup, a compact palm-sizedcase and fully portable battery operation, the SoundBITE micro willintegrate perfectly into any DJ/studio setup.SoundBITE micro will definitely transform your live performance orstudio re-mix and one last thing: don't worry, you can't go wrong SoundBITE micro won't let you!1

INPUT: use this socket to connect the audio signal from yourmixing desk (headphone monitor feed is recommended)Quick Start GuideIf you want to quickly try out the performance of SoundBITE micro,please first read the following points carefully:CONNECTIONS: Before making any connections, make sure thatthe power on all your equipment is turned OFF. Connect the audioand MIDI cables for a basic system setup as shown on page 6.TURNING ON THE POWER: Make sure all connections have beenmade correctly and that the volume controls on the mixing desk andamplifier system are completely turned down. Connect the powersupply (included) to the ‘power in’ socket on the rear panel ofSoundBITE micro and plug it into a suitable AC outlet, then press &hold the [BPM ON/OFF] button for 2 seconds. Next, turn ON thepower of the mixing desk then the power to the amplifier system.SETTING UP: Select a suitable audio track (dance orientatedmusic with defined beat information), start the playback on the4
Controls & Connectionsconnected sound source and route this signal to the headphonemonitor output on the mixing desk (check this using theheadphones now connected to the headphone output onSoundBITE micro). The input level is automatically set by theinternal AGC (automatic gain control). The tri-colour indicator shouldnow change to a [BLUE] indication (the four [LOOP] buttonindicators flashing at the BPM rate of the audio track).RECORDING/PLAYING BACK LOOPS: Ensure the [MODE] switchis set to the [LOOP] position. Now simply press one of the four loopbuttons whenever you want to start recording a loop - the tri-colourindicator and selected loop button will flash for the correspondingnumber of beats (defaults are 4, 8, 16 & 32 beats) as the loop isrecorded. If for instance, you pressed the 4 beat loop button, theindicators would flash 4 times and then instantly playback the 4 beatloop. To mute the loop, simply press the same loop button again[this button now switches the loop on/off]. Now try recording someof the other loops and playing them back in combination. To clear allthe loops press & hold the [ERASE ALL] button. To replace a singleloop, press the [RE-SAMPLE] button once, then press the desiredloop button to start the re-sample recording process.CONTROLLING EXTERNAL MIDI SEQUENCERS: Ensure the[MODE] switch is set to the [MIDI] position and check that your midisequencer is set to receive external midi clock. Now, press the[RUN/PAUSE] button in time with the beat of the audio input. Yourmidi sequencer should start playing in time with the audio input. Ifthe synchronisation is slightly out, simply use the [PULL/PUSH]buttons to shift the midi clock position (NOTE: avoid assigning themidi driven audio back into the headphone monitor as this willcreate a feedback loop which will disrupt the synchronisationperformance)Please read the following “OPERATION” section fully to appreciatethe range of features and facilities SoundBITE micro has to offer.5

OperationBatteryYour SoundBITE micro contains an internal Polymer Lithium-ionrechargeable battery. This is non-user accessible/replaceable item.Should you experience any problems with the battery performanceplease contact your local Red Sound dealer /Distributor for advice.If the following guidelines are followed the battery should providemany years of trouble-free operation.CHARGING: to charge the battery, simply connect the suppliedpower adapter to a suitable AC mains outlet - typical rechargingtime is approximately 2-3 hours. In [SLEEP] mode the tri-colourindicator flickers to show battery charge status as follows:Fast [GREEN] flicker battery chargingSlow [GREEN] flicker battery OKSlow [RED] flicker battery lowBATTERY LIFE: depending on usage (number of indicators on,loops recorded etc) the session battery life should be as follows:Sleep mode 12 hours Active mode 5 6 hours SoundBITE micro automatically dims the brightness of all theindicators whilst running on battery power. When the charger isplugged in, the indicators will also be dimmed but only until thebattery is fully charged.TIP! Check for high-brightness indicators to confirm battery is fullycharged.When the battery voltage drops to a critical level during normaloperation, the tri-colour indicator will show the following warning:Slow [RED] pulse Low battery warning7
OperationAs soon as you see this low battery indication please connect thecharger to a suitable AC outlet to avoid disruption to SoundBITEmicro’s normal operation.Battery Tips* Use only original Red Sound batteries and chargers* New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take moretime to charge* When charging the battery, keep the SoundBITE micro nearnormal rom temperature* When storing your SoundBITE micro keep it in a cool, dry place* Never expose the battery/SoundBITE micro to temperaturesbelow - 10 C (14F) or above 45 C (113F). Never leave SoundBITEmicro in a vehicle that may be exposed to direct sunlight* It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longercharging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it isprobably time to purchase a new battery - please contact your localauthorised Red Sound dealer/distributor for replacement batteryinformationWARNING! Never dispose of the battery/SoundBITE micro in a firebecause the battery can explode8
OperationPower On/OffAfter connecting SoundBITE micro to your system as detailed onpage 6, insert the power adapter plug into the rear panel socketmarked [6VDC]. The internal battery will now start charging andinternal power will be switched on however, SoundBITE microfeatures a special [SLEEP] mode to economise on battery life. In[SLEEP] mode, the tri-colour indicator will flicker at low brightness.To ‘wake-up’ SoundBITE micro, simply press & hold the [BPMON/OFF] button for approximately 2 seconds. The tri-colourindicator will now light [RED] to indicate power is on and the BPMengine is idle (no beat detected). Your SoundBITE micro is nowready to use!When you want to conserve battery life, simply press & hold the[BPM ON/OFF] button again for approximately 2 seconds. All theindicators will now switch off.TIP! You can use [SLEEP] mode to store loop samples whilsttravelling. Any loops recorded during normal operation will be storedin memory for later use. Providing the battery is fully charged youcan store the loops for up to 10 hours.BPM RangeThis is where you set the working range of the BPM engine. Thereare three individual operating ranges covering a total range of 60 230 BPM. This allows SoundBITE micro to work with most dancemusic styles, from the slowest Soul to the fastest Drum & Bass. Thedefault setting is 90-180BPM, which covers most dance musicrequirements. To change the range setting, first press & hold the[TAP/CLEAR] button and then press either:[PULL] button - selects the low range (60-120BPM) or.[PUSH] button - selects the high range (115-230BPM)9
OperationDuring this operation the tri-colour indicator shows the followingcolours for each BPM range:[RED] Low range[GREEN] Mid range[BLUE] High rangeIf the BPM engine is active (detecting a beat from the audio input) itwill be automatically cleared when a new range setting is selected.The BPM engine will then re-calculate the value within the newrange, providing beat information is present.TIP! BPM values outside of the selected range limit cannot beaccurately analysed. Always check the general tempo of the musicyou are playing falls within the selected BPM range. For mostapplications we recommend the default Mid range of 90-180BPM.BPM AquisitionStart the playback of a suitable audio track (containing definablebeat information). The tri-colour indicator will change from [RED] to[BLUE] and the four [LOOP] buttons will start flashing in time withthe audio track.SoundBITE micro is now ready to record synchronised loops andtransmit MIDI clock information - please see ‘RECORDING ANDPLAYING LOOPS’ on page 14 and ‘MIDI CLOCKSYNCHRONISATION’ on page 18 for further information.During tempo analysis of the audio track, any progressive shift intempo (slowly changing the audio playback speed using a CD/vinyldeck pitch control) should be tracked by SoundBITE micro. If thebeat information in the audio track stops (or the audio track itself ispaused etc), the tri-colour indicator will revert to [RED] to show thatthere is no active beat lock.10
OperationThe tri-colour indicator shows the following colours for each BPMengine condition:[RED] Engine IDLE (or BPM lock lost)[BLUE] Engine ON and locked-in to audio beat[BLUE FLASH] Engine ON but disengagedTIP! The BPM engine will continue looping samples and sendingMIDI clock at the last detected BPM rate if the regular beats in theaudio track become unavailable. This feature allows the loops/MIDIclock to continue operating through quiet passages or at the end ofthe audio track.Disengaging the BPM EngineThe BPM engine can be temporarily disengaged when there is apossibility of erratic audio input tempo disrupting the playbackspeed of the loops/MIDI clock (during cueing procedures etc).To disengage the BPM engine, press the [BPM ON/OFF] buttononce (avoid holding it down too long as you may activate [SLEEP]mode accidently). The tri-colour indicator will flash [BLUE] toindicate the BPM engine is now disengaged.The last detected BPM value will be used to control the loop/midiclock tempo and any further beat information will be ignored untilsuch time as the BPM engine is re-engaged. You can now cue inconfidence - the loop playback and MIDI clock will remain stable nomatter what happens to the audio input signal.To re-engage the BPM engine simply press the [BPM ON/OFF]button once again. The tri-colour indicator will once again light solid[BLUE] to indicate the BPM engine is now re-engaged andoperating normally.11
OperationTAP/ClearThis multi-function button allows you to manually enter a tempo byhand, clear the current BPM value and also access [FILTER] mode(see page 20). The [TAP] function should be used to set the BPMrate if there is no beat information in the audio signal. The [CLEAR]function can be used to cancel the current BPM reading at any time.TAP: To enter a BPM value from an ‘IDLE’ condition (no audio beatdetected) use your finger to tap in a tempo on the [TAP] button(within the BPM range). After 4- 6 taps the tempo should berecognised and the tri-colour indicator will change to [BLUE].The [TAP] function can be used to override the BPM engine if it is in'free-wheeling’ mode only. Use a finger to tap in the new tempo.After a few taps the updated tempo will be recognised and the loopplayback/MIDI clock will immediately change to the new BPM rate.The [TAP] function can also be used to assist the BPM engine as itanalyses more complex rhythm tracks. Tapping along with thetempo of the track can help the software recognise patterns withinthe music and so lock-in and adjust the BPM and/or synchronisationitself.TIP! Subsequent valid beat information detected by the BPM enginewill override any manual changes made with the [TAP] function.CLEAR: The current BPM value can be cleared (erased) at anytime to allow for tempo re-calculation. This feature can be useful ifthe audio playback tempo changes (major pitch adjustments/newtrack starting etc) or if any unusual beat information confuses theBPM engine.To clear the current BPM reading and reset SoundBITE micro to an‘IDLE’ status, press and hold down the [TAP/CLEAR] button forapproximately 1 second. After releasing the button the tri-colourindicator will change to [RED].12
OperationThe BPM engine will now re-calculate the tempo. However, if nonew tempo is detected, any recorded loops can still be played backat the last detected BPM rate (the MIDI clock output will alsocontinue at the same rate) - e.g. the cleared BPM value ismemorised for loop playback/MIDI clock continuity purposes.Manually Setting a BPM ValueYou can manually set a BPM value when there is no beatinformation available for the BPM engine to detect or when[DISENGAGE] mode is selected.To manually set a BPM value, first ensure the [MODE] switch is setto the [LOOP] position and the BPM engine is either ‘idle’ (tri-colourindicator is [RED]) or disengaged (tri-colour indicator is flashing[BLUE]).Press and hold down the [RE-SAMPLE] button, then (after a onesecond protection period) press the [PULL] button repeatedly todecrement the BPM value or the [PUSH] button repeatedly toincrement the BPM value (default setting is 120BPM from an idlecondition). The default BPM value will only apply if the BPM enginehas not previously registered a tempo.Hardware ResetIn the unlikely event that your SoundBITE micro stops responding tocontrols/functions etc you can easily perform a hardware reset toreinitialize the software.To perform a hardware reset, gently press the tip of a pen or othersimilar blunt pointed object into the small access hole on the rearpanel (adjacent to the Red Sound bar-code logo). Afterwards, press& hold the [BPM ON/OFF] button to ‘wake-up’ the operating system(NOTE: any recorded loop samples will be lost during a hard resetoperation)13
OperationRecording & Playing LoopsYou can record and playback up to 4 individual loops, each withdifferent beat durations. There are no input level settings to adjustas the on-board AGC (automatic gain control) takes care of all leveladjustments automatically however, please note that loop outputlevels may be slightly lower than other line level devices in yoursystem due to SoundBITE micro’s low-voltage battery system.To record perfect loops, the BPM engine must be active andregistering a BPM value (you can record loops without the BPMengine but the loops will not be automatically synchronised).Ensure the [MODE] switch is set to the [LOOP] position!Your SoundBITE micro is factory programmed with four defaultpreset loop sample lengths (4, 8, 16, 32 beats). The default loopsare configured as follows:4 BEATS8 BEATS16 BEATS32 BEATSTIP! You can tailor these loop settings to your own personalrequirements by programming and downloading new software loopconfiguration dumps from the Red Sound website - please visitwww.redsound.com for further information on this exciting feature.14
OperationRECORDING LOOPS: Only one loop can be recorded at a time.From boot-up (or after pressing the [ERASE ALL] button) the fourloop pads will be empty. Ensure that the BPM engine is active (or atempo has been tapped in) - the empty loop pads are now identifiedby flashing blue indicators in the [LOOP] buttons.To start recording a loop, simply press the desired [LOOP] buttononce.TIP! When a new BPM is detected, wait a few seconds beforerecording the loop. This allows the BPM value to settle and willensure more accurate loop synchronisation throughout the track.During the loop recording process both the tri-colour indicator andselected loop button will flash [BLUE] to show a ‘count-down’ of thenumber of beats in the loop (Example: press the 16 beat loop button- both indicators will flash 16 times)When the recording cycle is complete the tri-colour indicator willrevert back to its previous condition. The recorded loop will nowplay back automatically, the indicator in the button staying ON toshow that the loop pad contains a sample. To mute the sampleplayback, simply press the [LOOP] button again. The indicator inthe button now goes OFF to show that the loop has been muted.Toggling the button ON/OFF will play/mute the loop accordingly.RECORDING START POINT: The exact timing of when you pressthe loop button is not critical with regard to loop creation e.g. if youstart recording a 4 beat loop slightly after the beat (missing a downbeat kick drum for instance), SoundBITE micro will automaticallycreate a perfect 4 beat loop and include the kick drum of th
