Expert Sleepers announces ES-3 Lightpipe/CV Interface now shipping (and updates Augustus Loop AU to v2.3.2)

Expert Sleepers has announced that the ES-3 Lightpipe/CV Interface is now shipping. It is available direct from Expert Sleepers for £186 (including VAT and delivery), and soon from various international distributors.

The 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 (CVs), 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 need to bring direct CV control from your DAW right into the heart of a modular system.

Expert Sleepers has also updated the Mac OS X AU version of Augustus Loop to version 2.3.2, which fixes an issue with keyboard handling that could interfere with shortcuts in the host application when the Augustus Loop UI was open.
