Red Panda Bitmap 2 — MIDI Editor & CC Reference
MIDI control for the Red Panda Bitmap 2 bitcrusher — bit depth, sample rate reduction, wavefolding, drive, filter, LFO and envelope modulation, 127 presets.
Explore the Bitmap 2 controls in your browser and connect compatible MIDI hardware to send settings to your pedal. The reference below shows the controls mapped in Nitelite; available functions depend on the pedal and firmware. The default MIDI channel in Nitelite is 1. Browser MIDI control works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.
Knobs
| Control | MIDI CC | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MIX | CC 12 | Adjusts the wet/dry mix, from 100% dry to 100% wet. |
| CRUSH | CC 13 | Adjusts the bit depth from 24 bits down to 1 bit, including fractional bit depths. |
| FREQ | CC 14 | Adjusts the sampling rate, from 48,000 Hz down to 110 Hz. The sampling rate can be modulated by the LFO or envelope follower. |
| FILTER | CC 21 | Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the 4-pole lowpass filter. The cutoff can be modulated by the LFO or envelope follower. |
| RATE | CC 16 | LFO modulation rate. The LFO can be synced to tap tempo or MIDI clock, and the rate can be set to audio frequencies. |
| DEPTH | CC 15 | LFO modulation depth and waveshaping intensity. Fully counter-clockwise turns off modulation. Depending on the WAVE setting it sets the LFO modulation amount, the wavefolding threshold and number of folds, the wave window position and width, or the waveshaping function. |
| DRIVE | CC 23 | Adjusts the input gain from 0 dB to +60 dB, with saturation and clipping, before the waveshaping and bit reduction. Lowering drive makes the signal sputter and cut out; increasing it gives hard sustain and a more saturated sound. |
| ENV | CC 20 | Envelope modulation amount. Fully counter-clockwise turns off envelope modulation. The envelope follower tracks the input signal before the drive control, so you can get saturated output with dynamics. |
Alt / Secondary Knob Functions
| Control | MIDI CC | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OUTPUT LEVEL | CC 24 | MIX alt ([WAVE]-MIX) — output gain on the wet signal, -30 dB to +6 dB. 0 enables automatic gain control (default), 18 = -30 dB, 36 = -24 dB, 54 = -18 dB, 72 = -12 dB, 90 = -6 dB, 108 = 0 dB, 126 = +6 dB. |
| RESONANCE | CC 22 | FILTER alt ([WAVE]-FILTER) — filter resonance. Increasing resonance creates a peak at the filter cutoff frequency and reduces the amplitude at low frequencies. At high resonance the filter will self-oscillate with no input. |
Switches
| Switch | MIDI CC | Positions |
|---|---|---|
| WAVE | CC 102 | Triangle / Square / Random / Wave Folder / Wave Window / Waveshaper |
| MOD DEST | CC 103 | Freq / Filter Cutoff / Mix |
| ENV:DEST | CC 104 | Off / Filter Cutoff / Mix / Mix - (inverted) / Freq Up / Freq Down |
| DRIVE TYPE | CC 111 | Hard Clipping / Distortion 1 / Distortion 2 (mid focus) |
| ANTI-ALIAS | CC 112 | Off / On / Track Filter |
| FILTER RANGE | CC 113 | Normal / Full / Relative |
Footswitches
- AUX — CC 80
- ON — CC 88
Special MIDI Functions
- Tap Tempo — CC 89
- Expression — CC 4
- LFO Hold — CC 105. Freezes the LFO at its current value (on) or lets it run (off). The left LED is red while the LFO is held.
- Receive MIDI Clock — CC 110. Global setting — when on, the pedal synchronises the LFO to incoming MIDI timing clock (24 PPQ). Remembered when power is turned off. On is the default.
- Modulation Note Division — CC 108. Note division for tap tempo and MIDI clock sync, stored in presets. 0 = off (tap tempo disabled), 1 = 8 measures, 2 = 7 measures, 3 = 6, 4 = 5, 5 = 4, 6 = 3, 7 = 2 measures, 8 = 2 measure triplet, 9 = dotted whole, 10 = whole, 11 = whole triplet, 12 = dotted half, 13 = half, 14 = half triplet, 15 = dotted quarter, 16 = quarter, 17 = quarter triplet, 18 = dotted eighth, 19 = eighth, 20 = eighth triplet, 21 = dotted 16th, 22 = 16th, 23 = 16th triplet, 24 = dotted 32nd, 25 = 32nd, 26 = 32nd triplet.
- ON Footswitch (press) — CC 81. Emulates a press of the ON footswitch (CC 81, 64-127 = press). A short press toggles between on and bypass; on the hardware, holding it while bypassed momentarily engages the effect. The manual recommends gated mode — 127 on press, 0 on release.
- AUX Footswitch (press) — CC 80. Emulates a press of the AUX footswitch (CC 80, 64-127 = press). Its function is a global setting: Tap (default), Preset, Preset Shift, Modulation On/Off, LFO Hold, or LFO Hold On/Off. The manual recommends gated mode — 127 on press, 0 on release.
Hardware Presets
Bitmap 2 has 127 hardware preset slots, recalled using MIDI Program Change. Saving requires an action on the pedal; follow the hardware preset manager instructions.
