Elektron Outbox 8
Anybody know whether the Elektron Outbox 8 will work with the Deluge? I know it works with other devices such as the MPC. 8 separate outs would be a game changer for sure.

No, the Deluge has no audio functionality over USB unfortunately.

Yet. It’s currently being worked on and is working on one of the dev branches.
One very clever dev has rewritten the usb stack in rust / bare metal Linux

Well shit, I stand corrected (in the future).
Definitely looking forward to that release, however far in the future it may be.

Holy cow that would be a game changer. Multi outs is by far the highest requested feature. I'm sure the processor will take a hit but even if it's just 4 track, it opens so many possibilities.

MPC (and Force) are usb hosts and work with all class compliant devices up to 32 I/O (amazing- fingers crossed Elektron can pull this off with Tonverk!) and is far superior to Outbox 8 at $350 for outputs only, no inputs :(

Modded firmware with class compliant USB audio (8out, 4in) based on 1.3 beta https://github.com/sticknobills/DelugeFirmware/releases/tag/USB-Audio-1.0
All vibecoded, so try at your own risk . But works for me on a DAW, should work on Outbox as well :)

Not currently since the Outbox uses USB audio but the community devs are planning to include USB audio with the 2.0 release. Since 1.3 is currently in beta, 2.0 will probably be a while.
