Expert Sleepers ESX-8MD MIDI Expander
The ESX-8MD is an expansion module for the ES-4, ES-40 or ES-5, adding eight MIDI/DINsync outputs from one expansion header.The ES-4/5 Controller software (part of Expert Sleepers Silent Way) allows the ESX-8MD outputs to be used for MIDI output (note - not just MIDI clock output, but as an actual MIDI port, capable of sending any MIDI messages). Since these outputs are driven from an audio connection, they have sample-accurate timing, which no USB MIDI interface can claim.The Silent Way Sync plug-in would typically be used to send DINsync to the ESX-8MD, though any software capable of addressing the ES-4/5's expansion headers, via Silent Way or the Max/MSP external, can send clock pulses to it. Specifications The ESX-8MD's specifications are as follows: Panel width: 10HP Module depth: 27mm Digital input: connection from ES-4, ES-40 or ES-5 module Outputs: 8 5-pin DIN sockets, wired for both MIDI and DINsync Each channel is wired individually for MIDI (8 simultaneous outputs) Channe
