MANAGE PROJECTS
Bluebox stores all of your settings and the collection of WAV recordings in a project. You are working with
the default project when you first start up bluebox. You can create different projects as needed. The WAV
files you record will stay with your project, but you must save the project if you want other settings, such
as track mappings and EQ settings, to persist after you change projects or power down bluebox.
To Save the Current Project:
1. Push PROJ.
2. Touch Save.
To Manage Projects:
1. Push PROJ.
2. Touch File.
3. Touch the file option you want: New,
SaveAs, Rename or Delete.

In sleep mode, the bluebox stops sending signals to the outputs and darkens the screen, reducing power
consumption. To enter sleep mode press and hold B until the screen goes dark. To wake up, push a
white button.

clock signal to other devices.
