IN AND OUT THE BOX

Around the back the Heat features a stereo pair of 1/4-inch jack inputs, a pair of 1/4-inch jack outs, two 1/4-inch control inputs, MIDI In, MIDI Out and MIDI Thru (the latter two ports doubling up as DIN Sync outputs). There’s also a headphone out, power in and USB connection. Via its USB connection and Elektron’s free Overbridge software, the Heat can function as a 2-in/2-out audio interface. Overbridge lets it function as a VST/AU plug-in allowing it to easily process DAW audio complete with in-the-box modulation and automation. Best of all, it can be a plug-in and interface at once. It’s a super convenient, portable and multi-functional tool to pair with a laptop. On-the-go producers will love it!
