    You can connect the audio out of one into audio in on the other.

    I personally use two grooveboxes, both going into a mixer, set the BPMs to the same value and mix between the two in realtime. I use manual syncing since I have bad experiences trying to rely on MIDI sync when used like this. DJ mixers are quite nice for juggling two stereo line inputs with eq (and fx if the mixer supports them), but any line level mixer will do for this as long as it has headphone cue

    When one groovebox is playing, the other is loading the next project in and so on. Sort of like using two turntables, except the projects are the "records". Also gives you redundancy in case either groovebox crashes 😅
