More than one universe in software, without interfac [fixed]

I have the Xpress-512Plus and I just purchased about 35 new lights which puts me way over the number of DMX addresses I have available in universe 1 and im trying to figure out how to build a second universe. But I was wondering is the only way to have a second universe is to buy a second Xpress-512Plus controller?
Thank you

It is possible to program a lightshow of more than one universe, without having the dmx interfaces.

By default, the number of dmx universes in the software is 1. To change it, right in ControlBoard > open menu "Settings" > select tab "Other" > change the value in combobox "Quantity of Universes".

Afterwards, you will effectively need two dmx interfaces to drive the lights.

Is this also possible with one cable interface and one box-interface?

No, only "512 dmx channels" interfaces can be used together.
