Hi Oz - I just saw your video for ES4 turning into a sample accurate jitter free MIDI interface. Its amazing. I was wondering if you planned on making a distinct device - like a kenton box - that you could just plug into a spdif equipped interface and get good MIDI timing? I dont own a eurorack modular or have room for one...Given the despair over MIDI timing I would have thought people would love it... |

It's a possibility. However, it's so easy to just put an ES-4 in a Doepfer Minicase, which then takes up as much room as a dedicated SPDIF-MIDI box would anyway. |

cool...thats probably more expensive and less streamlined tho...
The MIDI with the ES4 - is it polyphonic and can it be multiple channels? Out of interest (if its not too hard to eplain) - what is the reason behind the 48k SR minimum? |

It's everything you'd expect a MIDI port to offer. I.e. 16 channels per physical port, all the usual messages supported.
44.1kHz actually seems to work fine for most things. There are just a small number of devices that don't work reliably at that rate. |

oz sorry to bother you again - is the ES5 needed to be used with the ES4 for MIDI - or is that to get extra channels?
All in it looks like £181 for the ES4, ES5 £96, Doepfer mini case £76 so either £257 or £353 for a SPDIF MIDI set-up depending on if you need the es5 |

You'd want the ESX-8GT to get MIDI from the ES-4. |

ah thats great £77...so around £150 for a set-up.... |

is it possible to use ADAT optical with these solutions? If I switch to a Allen Heath Zed desk I realised I loose a SPDIF... |

Then you want ES-3 plus ES-5. |

So I can't use the ES-4 by itself with a dj-1000 midi/3.5mm cable? I thought the ESX-8GT / ES-4 Gate Expander just added additional identical output connectors. Confused! |

No, the expander has 5V logic outputs, very different from the ES-4's own CV outputs. |

So you need the ES3 - then the ES5 for the MIDI bit? for ADAT to MIDI in 2 stages...
Similar - you need the ES4 - then the ESX-8GT for the MIDI for SPDIF to MIDI in 2 stages... ok I think I get it... |
