ES-8 USB Audio Interface (Bitwig Edition)

Expert Sleepers ES-8

The ES-8 is a USB 2.0 interface that is the perfect way to integrate one’s modular synthesizer with their computer hardware and software. Its DC-coupled inputs and outputs ensure precise processing of both audio and CV signals and render the module compatible with CV generation software (Silent Way, Reaktor, Max/MSP, CV Toolkit, etc). Additionally, the ES-8 sports ADAT inputs and outputs, allowing it to connect directly to an audio interface and provide extra preamps or 1/4″ outputs. It can also connect to the ES-5 and ES-6 via expansion header.
