Utility Boxes: Outbox 8, Powerhub, Overhub II

Here’s my video looking at the new menu system for the Digi-boxes to configure the Outbox 8.

Very nice info, thanks!

We don’t have any information on the exact dimensions of the outbox8 yet, or do we? It looks to be a bit smaller in width compared to a digitone and about half as tall?
I’m already planning out where to fit it in on my pedal board :sweat_smile:

No… I’m wondering if I can convince my iPhone to calculate the dimensions from a photo it took. Theoretically possible.

No need to, thanks. It should be available any day now.

Looks to be 7.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches

Not unless that’s Stretch Armstrong’s thumb :slight_smile:

I can assure you I have reasonably normal proportioned thumbs

Yea, my bad. Looks more like 8 x 6" give or take.

We’re gonna need to see that with a banana for scale.

Digitone II for scale?

Would be amazing if overhub 2 could somehow allow multiple boxes to be mixed into a single output8. But I assume it’ll be 1 per device.

I hoped that would be possible but after watching dshipp’s video it looks like it’s possibly one device only.

Really hoping it’ll be possible to use multiple boxes with overhub 2.

The Overhub is just a nice USB hub, so the Outbox would need to support multiple devices via a hub.

I can see that this might be possible, as the Outbox is a little computer running Overbridge, and you can run several Overbridge instances in a DAW. I bet it doesn’t though.

Are you certain about that? I don’t think this is necessarily true.

For some definition of computer (SoC like a Raspberry Pi) I am sure this is in fact true

Specifically, a computer running Overbridge. That’s what I’m questioning. Not that there isn’t something fitting the definition of “a computer” inside the box.

I think you’re right, it looked a lot smaller in the thumbnail, but seeing it next to the Digitone, it’s not far off in width

The a Elektron people described it as Overbridge in a box. I might have misunderstood though. My guess was that it’s some kind of embedded Linux running the plugin.
