Expert Sleepers ES-3 MK4 Eurorack ADAT Lightpipe Control Voltage Interface Module
Expert Sleepers ES-3 MK4 - ADAT Lightpipe / CV Interface
The Expert Sleepers ES-3 is a eurorack format module which converts eight channels of ADAT Lightpipe input to DC coupled outputs on 3.5mm jacks, for the ultimate convenience in connection of a DAW directly to analogue synthesizers.
The outputs can be used as control voltages, for example with software such as Expert Sleepers Silent Way, and can also be used as audio outputs at high, modular synth compatible levels.
With the ES-3, a single optical cable is all that is needed to bring direct CV control from your DAW right into the heart of a modular system.
The MK4 updated version has the added improvements of illuminated jack sockets and reduced maximum depth.
The front panel is drilled for both Doepfer and Analogue Systems mounting holes (using a 'slot' rather than a single round hole). The power connector is a Doepfer standard 16 way IDC, with -12V furthest from the top of the board.
