Elektron today announced the availability of Outbox 8, an eight-channel audio/CV breakout box.

It adds eight fully configurable physical outputs to a connected device, letting the user send audio and CV in any combination its capabilities allow.

Outbox 8 is a versatile eight-channel audio/CV breakout box and USB host/device designed to expand your connectivity, with creative possibilities to boot. It adds eight fully configurable physical outputs to a compatible connected device allowing the user to route their sound and control wherever the moment calls for.

Though Outbox 8 is predominantly made with Elektron units in mind, it can do the same with class-compliant gear too.

Outbox 8 – At a Glance

Send audio and MIDI to CV. Outbox 8 enables users to route individual tracks for external processing, mixing, or performance – creating a flexible bridge between the Elektron workflow and the wider world of sound and control.

Outbox 8 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.

Outbox 8 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.

Features:

• Versatile eight-channel breakout box for expanding audio and CV connectivity
• Eight independently configurable outputs for flexible combinations of audio and CV signals
• Routes individual tracks to external mixers, effects processors, monitors, and other hardware
• Converts USB MIDI to CV for playing, sequencing, modulating, and synchronizing modular systems and other CV-capable instruments
• Supports pitch, gate, trig, linear value, and clock control signals
• Works as an eight-output USB audio interface for computers, tablets, and phones
• Compatible with supported Elektron Overbridge-enabled machines and USB class-compliant MIDI devices
• Supports many USB class-compliant audio devices, with compatibility dependent on manufacturer and firmware

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. Users can route audio directly from the 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.

Outbox 8 is available to purchase from the Elektron website or from retailers carrying the Elektron range of products. Pricing on elektron.se is 299 EUR/349 USD/259 GBP/3299 SEK.
