Expert Sleepers ES-5 MK3: The Central Hub for Gate Expansion

The Expert Sleepers ES-5 MK3 is a high-performance expansion module designed to connect to the expansion header of an ES-3 or ES-8. While it provides eight direct gate outputs, its primary role is serving as a digital hub for up to six additional expansion modules. This allows you to add dozens of extra gates, triggers, or MIDI signals to your system without consuming any additional ADAT channels on your audio interface. The MK3 version features improved power efficiency and a shallow design compatible with almost any Eurorack case.

Key Features:

• Eight Direct Gate Outputs: 3.5mm jacks for high-precision gates, triggers, and clock signals.

• Expansion Hub Functionality: Connect up to six further modules (such as the ESX-8GT) for massive I/O scaling.

• Sample-Accurate Timing: Maintains the flawless synchronization required for complex rhythmic patches.

• Illuminated Sockets: Built-in LEDs provide immediate visual status of gate activity on every channel.

• Resource Efficient: Operates by piggybacking on the existing digital stream of its host module.

Technical Specifications:

• Width: 4HP

• Depth: 49mm

• Power Draw: +12V: 8mA, -12V: 0mA

• Input: 10-pin header for connection to ES-3 or ES-8

• Outputs: 8x 3.5mm Gate/Trigger Outs
