Re: [LAU] [Eurorack] Expert Sleepers ES-8 USB Interface and Linux?

I have not tried it, but everything I have read about this device indicates that it should work. Let me know, I'm considering it too ;) it should appear as an 16-out, 12-in audio interface (where 8 ins and 8 outs are the ADAT connections).

The ES devices like to use custom signal mangling (basically word packing formats in their digital audio stream) to daisy chain devices at lower bit-depths (ESX-* devices via the ES-5 expansion interface). You won't be able to use their "silent way" drivers for these expansion devices under Linux so you are limited to audio IO only... you can send/receive CV too, but their expanders are more efficient for multiplexing lower resolution triggers and CVs onto fewer host audio channels.

I started to develop a silentway Jack client and did a chunk of research on the signal mechanics. I wrote it all up in the README at https://github.com/bgribble/silentway

Thanks,
Bill Gribble
