Expert Sleepers ES-5 MK4: The Ultimate Gate and Expansion Hub

The Expert Sleepers ES-5 MK4 is a specialized expansion module designed to connect to the expansion header of an ES-3 or ES-8 interface. This module provides eight direct gate outputs for triggers, clock signals, and simple on/off functions directly from your DAW. However, the true power of the ES-5 MK4 lies in its role as a hub; you can connect up to six additional expanders to provide your system with a massive amount of I/O without consuming any extra ADAT channels. The MK4 revision features improved stability and optimized power efficiency for modern modular racks.
