Input Connections

To use bluebox to mix signals from other devices, you will need to connect them to
bluebox’s input jacks. Bluebox can receive both standard audio line level and Eurorack
level inputs in each of the 6 stereo 3.5 mm TRS jacks. Use 3.5 mm

TRS

cables for the

connections. You can use a splitter to connect two separate mono signals to one stereo
input if desired. Later we will see how to map these to separate tracks.

NOTE:

►

Not all USB power supplies are created equal. Make sure your power

supply can provide 2 amps of power. The USB power supply included

with bluebox will do this.

►

Not all USB Type B cables are the same. Some are made only for data,

while others are designed to carry power. Bluebox comes with a USB

Type B power cable. If you want to replace it with a longer cable, be

sure it is rated to carry power.

►

You can take the microSD card out and reinsert while bluebox is

powered up.

NOTE:

►

Bluebox has AC coupled inputs. You cannot use them to record Control

Voltage. Check out the

1010music blackbox

if you want to do this.

►

The bluebox outputs are DC Coupled.

►

If you are only receiving input on the left channel, check your input

cables. TR cables will work, but the audio will be in the left channel

only. Use TRS cables to get a full stereo signal.

Sleep Mode

When you are done using bluebox, you can simply unplug it to turn it fully off, or you can
put it into sleep mode.

Put Bluebox in Sleep Mode:

1.

Press and hold the B button for 3 seconds. The screen will go dark and all sound

will stop. The power usage will be reduced but the unit is still on.

Wake Bluebox Up from Sleep Mode:

1.

Push the A or B button or any of the square white Control Mode buttons.
