Eight Outputs. Endless Creative Possibilities.

The Elektron Outbox 8 is more than a conventional breakout box. Combining eight configurable audio/CV outputs, USB host functionality, MIDI-to-CV conversion, and multichannel USB audio, it provides a flexible connection between Elektron instruments, modular synthesizers, computers, and external studio hardware.

1. Eight Configurable Audio/CV Outputs

Expand your production possibilities with eight 1/4-inch impedance-balanced, DC-coupled outputs.

Route individual tracks or submixes from compatible Elektron instruments to external mixers, effects processors, or recording equipment. You can also assign outputs to control-voltage duties, giving you the freedom to combine audio and CV routing within the same setup.

This makes the Outbox 8 particularly useful for producers who want greater control over individual sounds during mixing or live performance.

2. Seamless Integration with Elektron Instruments

Built to complement Elektron's hardware ecosystem, the Outbox 8 supports Elektron Overbridge-enabled instruments, along with compatible USB class-compliant MIDI and audio devices.

Whether you're expanding an Elektron-based production setup or connecting third-party hardware, the Outbox 8 helps create a more versatile studio environment.

Note: Available routing features depend on the connected instrument. Compatibility and functionality can vary by device and firmware version.

3. Powerful MIDI-to-CV Conversion

Bring the expressive power of MIDI sequencing into your modular synthesizer setup.

The Outbox 8 functions as a USB MIDI-to-CV interface, converting MIDI information into control-voltage signals for compatible analog and modular instruments.

Supported CV signal types include:

• Pitch V/Oct and Hz/V
• Gate and Trigger
• Linear control values
• Clock
• Grounded output mode

With a ±5V CV output range, the Outbox 8 provides flexible control for sequencing, modulation, triggering, and synchronization.

4. Eight-Output USB Audio Interface

Connect the Outbox 8 to a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone and use it as an eight-output USB audio interface.

Send individual DAW channels to an external mixer, route tracks through analog effects, or create a flexible multichannel performance system.

Its 32-bit D/A converters operating at 48kHz provide high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion for professional music production applications.

5. USB Host and Device Connectivity

The Outbox 8 features a USB 2.0 High-Speed Type-C data connection supporting USB Power Delivery and dual-role operation.

This allows the unit to function in different configurations depending on the connected device.

A dedicated USB-C power input and status LED further simplify setup and operation.

6. Compact Design for Studio and Stage

Measuring just 176 × 90 × 28mm and weighing approximately 350g, the Elektron Outbox 8 delivers extensive connectivity in a compact desktop format.

Its small footprint makes it suitable for crowded production desks, portable electronic music rigs, and live performance setups.
