Quick Bluebox setup question. I"m kind of a noob with these things.
Can I send 4 input tracks to the OUTPUT 2. That output 2 will go into my RC 505 looper and the Looper will output into the 5th bluebox input and want that sent to the main output. I assume that is easy, just wanted to make sure it’s possible.
Thanks.
Yep, totally possible 
Anyone know of any other options competing with the Bluebox, either currently available or in the pipeline?
I think it’s such a cool device, love the form factor and a lot of what it offers, but there are a few drawbacks that keep me from pulling the trigger, especially the lack of class compliance.
I would have thought this thing would have created a new category of similar devices but everytime I search I don’t see anything remotely like it, especially in terms of form factor.
Checkout Zoom and Tascam - they have some mixers that can record as well. Not as compact though…

I like the Tascam 16 channel mixer recorder since I’ll need another larger mixer recorder soon.

Interesting, thanks.

It’s over 2x the price and way smaller, both bad things to me
But if your issue was the lack of audio interface, this has that covered
Hello! Rn I make music on Octatrack, other Elektron gear plus several other synths and grooveboxes usually 3-4 at a time. I have a Clarett interface and a small Mackie Mix12FX mixer. What do you think is a 1010 Blue Box purchase a good one? My desk space is also limited a bit, but I like the form factor in general.
I have seen many of your YT videos. May I ask what mixer and/or interface do you use for your music production into final DAW processing? I am curious because have similar gear and am kinda lost.
SSL big six. One of the best gear decisions I’ve made ever. Very flexible in its daw <-> hardware routing. And great headroom and sound
It’s not a mixer, but the Smpltrek seems like an affordable tool for recording tracks and then playing/recording a new track atop them.
Edit: mentioned because it has the USB class compliance.
Evening. Don’t suppose anyone in the UK is looking to sell a Bluebox…? I think it could be the missing part of my set-up, but I’d be quite keen to buy one second-hand if possible - they don’t seem to come up all that often, which is probably a good sign…
Thanks! Dave.
I didn’t keep track of the bluebox since it came out, any noticeable changes since release?
excuse me for being to lazy to read through this thread:)))
Not selling mine as it’s a little gem. But there is a used one up on a UK auction site just now.
No, nothing has changed since it’s release.
Ah, thanks for pointing this out - typical, I wait for ages for one to show up on eBay, give up and buy it new, then one turns up straight away…!
Major change since release is the addition of transport controls. So you can now punch in/out play/record at certain time points, which was an essential missing feature. This is accompanied by a rudimentary visual timeline of tracks.
There have been various other smaller improvements and additions and bug fixes in firmware updates. The last update was in April last year.
As noted in the release notes at the 1010music forums, freely available for all to read.
So this;
