If you want to get use granular mode to generate tonal content, use a very low Speed, a
high Grain Count, small Grain Size, and small Spread.
To start with something that is close to the original wav file, set the Spread to 0, Speed
to 100%, Grain Size to 1024 and Grain Count to 2. These settings are useful when you
want to use granular mode to smooth out the cross-over points for your loops.

Root Note
When you use Notes to play this sample, the base sample will play for
this root note. The sample will be pitch shifted up or down one semi-
tone for each note away from the root note. Bitbox mk2 will read the
root note from the WAV file if available when you add the WAV to the
preset. However, you can specify a different value here to be used for
this WAV on this pad in this preset.
If you save the WAV file from this pad, the Root Note value will be
saved with it.
Stored in the WAV smpl tag.
