Boot modes

By holding down one or more buttons while turning on the device, your Woovebox can be put into several different modes and special states.

1/Cd BLE enable

To start your Woovebox with BLE enabled, keep the 1/Cd key pressed while switching on the device. The display reads 'boot bLE' instead of the usual boot up sequence.

2/bS BLE enable in compatibility mode

To start your Woovebox with BLE enabled in compatibility mode, keep the 2/bS key pressed while switching on the device. The display reads 'boot bLE' instead of the usual boot up sequence.

Compatibility mode works around some severe bugs in some recent Android and iOS phones by permitting looser timings and avoiding extended advertising packets.

In the very unlikely event of some sort of catastrophic data corruption causing a boot loop, the device can be booted with BLE compatibility mode enabled, but without loading any data (songs, samples) and with its sound engine disabled. To do so, hold the 2/bS key and value knob pressed in while powering up the device.

3/Ld + value Delete all samples

Please note that the following procedure will cause all sample data on the device to be lost!

To delete all samples on your Woovebox, keep the 3/Ld key as well as value knob pressed while switching on the device.

4/Ar + value Factory reset

Please note that the following procedure will cause all data (songs, samples, patches) on the device to be lost!

To reset your Woovebox to its factory settings, keep the 4/Ar key as well as value knob pressed while switching on the device.

5/Ki Boosted screen brightness / LED test / firmware version

By keeping 5/ki pressed while turning the device on, screen and LED brightness can be temporarily increased from its default brightness. This may be useful if the default brightness is insufficient (for example in sunny outdoor scenarios). Turn the value knob to change the brightness. Press the value knob to continue the boot sequence (which should normally amount to a 1-2 second delay before dropping into Song mode). The device will display the firmware version it is running, until the boot sequence is complete.

6/Sn Increase capacitive button sensitivity

By keeping 6/Sn pressed while turning the device on, sensitivity of the capacitive buttons can be temporarily increased.

This may be useful if you find the capactive play and write buttons do not reliably register your touch (for example, because your have very dry fingers/thumbs or because you have callused fingers/thumbs).

9/A1 Switch MIDI port to MIDI IN

(15BSE, 15BPRO, 15B2 hardware only) To start your Woovebox with the physical MIDI port configured as a MIDI IN port (rather than the default MIDI OUT), hold 9/A1.

10/A2 Enable remote control expander mode

To start your Woovebox with remote control expander mode enabled, hold 10/A2. Remote control expander mode allows almost any MIDI device to control your Woovebox remotely, turning that device into a powerful workstation.

12/A4 Play stop protection

(firmware 2435+) By keeping 12/A4 pressed while turning the device on, playback is no longer stopped by pressing the play button. Use this mode if you are worried of accidentally stopping playback (for example in a live situation using Live mode) by accidental touching of the play touch area. Playback can be stopped by switching to Song mode (which is a dual button gesture and therefore unlikely to happen accidentally).

13/A5 Demo mode; disable song restore & autosave

By keeping 13/A5 pressed while turning the device on, your Woovebox will start with an "empty" song, while autosave is turned off. This mode is perfect for quickly showing a friend how easy it is to create a song from scratch, while not affecting any of your existing songs.

Please note that a manual save option will become available in the context menu of Song mode's 'GLob' page (firmware 2421+).

14/A6/Sampler Demo mode; disable autosave

By keeping 14/A6/Sampler pressed while turning the device on, autosave is turned off. This mode is perfect for tweaking your song non-destructively, for example for passing your Woovebox to a curious friend, without having to worry about them destroying your songs.
