- System Unknown shows the bluebox in action. From collaboration to the studio to live performance, bluebox is there for you.
Bluebox is the portable digital audio mixer that integrates your electronic music gear. Connect your eurorack, sampler, drum machine, and synthesizer outputs to 6 stereo, 3.5 mm TRS inputs and map them to 12 mono tracks or 6 stereo tracks - all with independent control for recording and playback. It’s that keyboard mixer with live performance features that you always hoped someone would make.
Connect the output of your electronic music gear to bluebox, and then route each track independently to the three outputs and effects sends. Each track offers control of volume, gain, 4-band parametric EQ, pan, mute and solo functions. Apply high-quality global reverb and delay effects along with 4 band EQ per track to add new depth to your sound with total control to quickly tweak incoming audio or track playback as needed.
With bluebox, you can record independent tracks or the Main mix using a standard microSD card. Capture your jam session for later review, or record the ultimate mix of the tracks for your song.
Bluebox’s compact 5.5” x 5” x 2” case lets you tuck it into a crowded tabletop studio or throw it in your pack for the next gig.
Interact with the dynamic visual interface on the 3.5” touchscreen along with physical knobs, navigation buttons, and transport buttons to quickly access the most important functions. MIDI input and output allow you to sync the clock with external gear for synchronized effects and metronome.
Add Some Color to Your Mix:
Mix 12 mono/6 stereo tracks of live or prerecorded sound.
Independently route each track to any combination of three stereo outputs:
Stereo Output 1 - Main mix
Stereo Output 2 - Assignable, with dedicated sub-mixer (pre or post-fader)
Stereo Output 3 - Headphone output, with dedicated sub-mixer (pre or post-fader)
Control one parameter for multiple tracks at once in Mixer mode.
Focus on one track at a time in Track mode.
Adjust the level or mute state of each output independently.
Use touch gestures or knobs to tweak your sound with four-band EQ per track with support for Low Cut/Low Shelf, Parametric, and High Shelf/High Cut settings for each band.
Apply high-quality Reverb and Delay effects with independent effects sends for each track.
Override the headphone output with the Main mix on demand.
Maximize the loudness and unify your mix with the built-in global compressor
Sync to external clocks through the MIDI Input and Output.
Record hours of music as 48k, 24-bit WAVs directly to the microSD card as multi-track or as the main stereo mix.
Playback previously recorded tracks while recording new ones.
Load firmware updates through the microSD card.
Mix electronic music gear such as the 1010music blackbox, eurorack modules, drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers.
Save and recall Project settings including all parameters for tracks, outputs, EQ, and effects.
Plug into a power outlet, or use with your USB Power Bank for hours of use on the go.
Fit it into a small spot on your desk and then tuck it in your pack for the next gig.

Can't wait to get mine, it's on order, but no idea when it will arrive. Patience is not one of my virtues lol. 😎😎😎🖖
Great clip! Love the Bluebox 🤘
Thanks!

I just got my blue box and updated it to the latest firmware, what’s the out3 and where is its output?
I am considering getting a Bluebox instead of an H6 for recording during a 3 year bicycle tour. I need to record acoustic instruments (Sitar, percussion), a Deluge and an Organelle M while on the road.
What microphone would you recommend pairing with the Bluebox to have it compete with the H6 as a mobile recorder?
Remember; I will be on a bicycle, so size/weight are considerations.
I would need a mic and power for the mic (phantom/battery) to use it effectively for the acoustic instrument and vocals.
Thanks to any help you can offer!
I'm also looking for an answer to this. There was a post about which mics to use on the 1010 forum but it seems it was strangely removed.
I'm looking for a battery operated mic for recording vocals indoors and streetsounds / nature that does not require phantom power as I'd rather not have to carry an additional device to provide the phantom power.
Can anyone offer some advice?
From my research, I think a Shure microphone along with a Zoom AMS-22 interface to provide phantom power would be a good option for those of us want to travel light. The Zoom AMS-22 is tiny.
Anyone have any better options?
@@MrCallingoccupants I had a chat with Lucas from 1010music. He said he uses the iRig Pre2 in the same way as the Zoom ams-22 would work, but the Pre2 runs on batteries.
I am also still looking for a better option.
I even considered getting a Zoom H5 to use with the Bluebox, it is a bit of an expensive option (especially when I want to use the Bluebox to replace the H6) but I can't find any info on where exactly the analog-digital conversion happens in any of the H-series recorders.
If the signal remained analog from the mic to the line out, then even the H1n would be a good option. They would also be great for collecting samples on the go...
Waiting for mine to arrive from Perfect Circuit as well. Video did give me a new question for you, though: how visible is the screen in the outdoors? Does it need the shade?
You can adjust the brightness though no screen performs well in direct light.
What is the wooden fader bank? Looks super cool. Great vid.

Any chance the Bluebox will become an audio interface via the USB host port anytime soon?
Not likely.
@@1010music OK, thanks for the reply.
It's a strange question, but I'm choosing between bluebox and zoom h8 and in fact i can't really find some pros about h8, cause ur bluebox seems to be better for my modular stuff. Am i right?
bluebox was designed to work well with Eurorack levels. It will both accept and send them. I'm not sure how the H8 works in this regard. I hope this helps.
@@1010music yep, i think I'll take bluebox, cause i find it best for my needs, thanks!
I’ve also considered the same choice, and although the BlueBox has a better form factor, better digital mixer, and better Eurorack connectivity, for my uses the BlueBox is completely crippled as the latest versions of the firmware force you to record each channel’s direct signal post fader, mutes and EQ! I would use the BlueBox to create a live mix (love the superior EQ and effects) while simultaneously recording each channel at full gain, dry with flat EQ, so that I could move those tracks into DAW and complete a final mix. Please make these changes and the BlueBox will be the most useful recording/mixing tool out there! 😻
