Expert Sleepers ES-3 MK4 Eurorack ADAT Lightpipe/CV Interface

Expert Sleepers ES-3 MK4 ADAT Lightpipe / CV Interface Eurorack Module

ADAT LIGHTPIPE TO CV INTERFACE FOR EURORACK
 
The ES-3 Mk4 module converts, in a similar manner as the ES-1, control signals from a DAW (e.g. from software like Volta or Silent Way) to control voltages. Unlike the ES-1 it doesn´t use up your audio interface´s analog outputs but it uses the optical output (ADAT Lightpipe). Just connect the ES-3 Mk4 and the audio interface via an optical cable. The connectors of the mk4 version are equipped with multicolor background lightning.
 
With the ES-3, a single optical cable is all that is need to bring direct CV control from your DAW right into the heart of a modular system.
 
The ES-3 produces 8 outputs as normal when the ADAT interface is operated at 44.1/48kHz. In double speed mode (88.2/96kHz), the ES-3 outputs 4 channels, duplicated across pairs of outputs (ES-3 outputs 1/2 carry ADAT channel 1, outputs 3/4 carry ADAT channel 2 etc.). However, users of Silent Way software can take advantage of the Silent Way SMUX plug-in to interleave CVs on the 96kHz stream, restoring the number of usable CV outputs to 8.

If we're using a trackable service (Courier, Tracked, Special Delivery) then we send you a tracking number by email when we ship your order so you know what to expect.

Shipping services to Mexican and Russian addresses are currently unavailable.

For courier deliveries we use a next day service (Mon - Fri only) and they get there over 99% of the time but if you need a timed service for a before 12 or before 10AM delivery then just let us know and we'll get you a reasonable quote. We can also do Saturday deliveries (on items under 2kg only) if you need something for the weekend and you've left it to the last minute (as we all do sometimes)!
