Updated firmware will allow these synths to use the additional outputs like Overbridge for the DAW-less jammers.<\/p>\n<p>This promises to be hugely powerful, because it opens up a new realm of effects processing and sequencing power for these devices.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Elektron superuser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@EZBOT_\/\">Ezbot<\/a> (Matthew Piecora) has to say about the Outbox 8:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Missing Link Is Here: OUTBOX 8 by Elektron\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TDMRDju1A_c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>Official details on pricing, specifications and compatible devices are still to be announced at the Elektron <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elektron.se\/\">site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video and share your thoughts on the Elektron Output 8 in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Outbox 8 will connect to devices like the Digitakt, Digitone and Syntakt and add 8 additional outputs, each of which can be configured for audio or CV\/Gate.&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/content\/2026\/05\/11\/elektron-outbox-8-promises-to-expand-your-synth-with-8-audio-or-cv-gate-outputs\/\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Elektron Outbox 8 Promises To Expand Your Synth With 8 Audio Or CV\/Gate Outputs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":153397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[993,36306,35841],"class_list":["post-153396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","tag-elektron","tag-elektron-outbox-8","tag-superbooth-2026"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/elektron-outbox.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153396"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153398,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153396\/revisions\/153398"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
