Send audio and MIDI to CV
Outbox 8 enables you to route individual tracks for external processing, mixing, or performance – creating a flexible bridge between your Elektron workflow and the wider world of sound and control.
You can also assign outputs to CV duties - pitch, gate, trig, linear value, or clock. Use it as a dedicated USB MIDI-to-CV converter to play, sequence, modulate, and synchronize modular systems and other CV-capable instruments. Or connect a MIDI controller to play and control them directly.
This makes it easy to integrate MIDI controllers with modular setups – combining the familiarity of keys and performance gestures with the flexibility of voltage-controlled sound.
Eight-output computer audio
Connect Outbox 8 to your computer, tablet, or phone and use it as an eight-output USB audio interface – ideal for clean, portable, and reliable setups. You can route audio directly from your DAW to monitors, mixers, or external hardware using a single streamlined device.
At the same time, MIDI from your DAW can be sent to Outbox 8, allowing any of its outputs to be configured to send CV. This lets your computer sequence modular gear, control analog synthesizers, or synchronize external devices – and extends your studio beyond the screen and into hands-on soundcraft.
In-device or web app setup
For many Elektron boxes you are able to set up Outbox 8 in-device. For others, and for non-Elektron USB class-compliant devices, you can configure Outbox 8 using the Outbox 8 Web App.
Audio/MIDI compatibility can vary by manufacturer and firmware. Many will work with MIDI, some with audio, and some with both.
