Thanks for the kind words. As for the sound quality, we obsessed over a number of different things: the ADC/DAC selection, the analog headroom, the PCB...

It is normal for the bluebox to be warm--but not hot to the touch. One trick is to turn the screen brightness down as this reduces the power consumption...

[Aaron]

I'm seeing something different here. When I connect a TRS cable from blackbox MIDI out to bluebox MIDI in and press Play, the bluebox tracks the incoming...

Take a paper towel. Spray the towel with Windex just 1-2 squeezes. Wipe the screen and dry it. No magic here.

Please don't confuse the maximum number of steps (256) with the maximum number of events/notes (512)

The USB device port is meant for lightweight peripherals in the 500mA and below category. If your reverb pedal fits this description, go ahead and power...

Destructive editing of WAV files is now available in Sample mode. It has been since at least version 1.6. The Trim command will truncate the file in place....

[Aaron]

It looks like you are overwhelming the device. What version are you running?

EDIT: This is only MIDI, no samples right? It looks like these...

[Aaron]

Please make sure you have the input set to "In 1/2" in the upper left of the recording screen.

Bluebox is designed around +/-5V eurorack levels. You won't need anything extra to connect with your rack.

[Aaron]

Both are valid. I would use CCs for automation and Program Change messages to load a new bank or snapshot.

[Aaron]

When you load a multisample, provided the root notes are set correctly, blackbox will map them across the keyboard and fill in the blanks with the closest...

[Aaron]

It is essentially the note length for the entire sequence. For example, if your step length is 1/4, you have a note 1 step in length, and the duty cycle...

[Aaron]

Yes, that will work.

It's for importing standard MIDI files: *.MID.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for taking care of it.
