1010music Bluebox Compact Digital Mixer and Recorder

The 1010music Bluebox Compact Digital Mixer and Recorder is a portable 12-track mixing and multitrack recording solution for electronic music hardware. It routes six stereo sources as 12 mono tracks, six stereo tracks, or mixed configurations while recording 24-bit, 48kHz WAV files directly to a microSD card.

Bluebox gives synthesizer, sampler, drum machine, and Eurorack users a compact digital mixer for computer-free production and live performance. Independent output submixes support monitoring, external processing, and flexible stage routing. A touchscreen, physical encoders, navigation keys, and transport controls provide fast access to levels, EQ, effects, recording, and playback.

Each track includes four-band equalization, while reverb, delay, and global compression help shape and control the finished mix. Bluebox accepts standard line-level and Eurorack-level signals, synchronizes with external MIDI equipment, and recalls complete project settings. Its metal enclosure, USB power options, and compact footprint suit desktop studios, portable rigs, and professional hardware-based workflows.
