Recording line level vs mic level
Ideally, the audio source should output "line level" (a smartphone, table, laptop, keyboard, the audio output of any other synthesizer gear, etc.). However, if you are in a pinch and need to record voice for further processing, your Woovebox can also record faint "mic level" signals as produced by cheap unamplified microphones directly plugged into the input.
To record mic level, in the sampler, hold write and play, then turn the value knob right (for mic level) or left (for line level - default). Please note that trying to record faint mic level signals without switching the input to "Mic LEvL", will result in interference being audible in your recording.
Mic level signal amplification and filtering is performed in the digital domain; a custom-designed digital filtering algorithm removes the interference after recording a slice. As a result, a short pause (dependent on the length of the sample) occurs after recording the sample.
Sampling mic-level input is mostly meant for getting voice recording/input on the device for further processing (for example via the vocoder, or using the voice recordings as material for pitch and time warping). You may find it less suited for recording ambient or non-voice sounds. A fixed 300Hz - 8000Hz bandpass filter is in place to remove non-voice related frequencies and rumble.
Lastly, make sure your chosen mic is able (or TRS fixed-wired) to provide a stereo signal (e.g. has its signal on both the Tip and Ring).

Values prefixed by o1 indicate oscillator 3 should adopt the pitch and amplitude modulation (envelope generators, LFOs, etc.) of oscillator 1.
- Slicing up the Amen break (under Sampler)
The Amen break is a seminal six-second drum solo that originated from the song "Amen, Brother" by the 1960s funk and soul group The Winstons.
- Create a final track with Song mode (under Quick start guide and video)
Much like editing notes on tracks, in a Song mode fragment you can hold an active (e.g. "lit up") track and edit a number of settings.
- Recording live (under Create a melody)
Erase starts erasing every step the playhead moves over, but only starts doing that once your play the first note.
- Steps (under The very basics)
You can set multiple steps this way to the same note, as long as you hold write.
