Did you know that most Elektron devices can also be used as a USB Class Compliant audio interface?
This offers an easy way to capture audio to your computer, mobile devices and tablets. The video demonstrates how easy it is to plug and record audio to your Apple device with no additional drivers, app or software needed.
It’s also discusses how you can record audio audio from any of your other gear sources by using your Elektron box as a USB audio interaface. As an example, the video demonstrates running the audio from a Roland TR-606 into the external input of the Syntakt , and then recording all the sounds, from both devices, directly via USB audio into an iPhone.
It also takes a quick look at how you can use the routing options to control what audio you route to USB. The default setting will send the main stereo outs, but you can also route specific tracks, the external inputs, etc. And the video notes that the Analog Heat+FX can also be used to process incoming audio from USB.

If it’s USB class-compliant audio, then it may be noted that it will also work under the Linux operating system (assuming the product’s implementation isn’t buggy. A number of companies bill their products as “class complient” but the compliance is only partly functional due to improper design. Always test the claims before you buy. God knows companies don’t do their own adequate “quality conteol” or testing any more.).
Like Apple’s OS, Linux has a generic USB driver built-into the operating system that will allow any (properly designed) class compliant audio (or MIDI) device, which communicates with a computer via a USB port (ie jack), to work. You don’t need any special drivers. Just plug it into a USB jack on your computer, and it will “just work”.
just because you can doesnt mean you should
