There are rogue psy-trance parties @ the belmont plateau in Philadelphia. They are experienced at throwing legendary renegade parties in the pine barrens. No permits. Generator, decks and a mixer. They do it during the day now so I guess it's less likely to get broken up.

Nice one! Love the vocal-type sounds. And yes, the table is making us nervous.

Funky Glide. Very cool. What did you use for drums?

Very cool tribal type vibe. Was not expecting that beat to come in. I can dig it!

Having just completed some tiny little boards for my first couple projects. This looks insane. How many hours are we talking here? I guess the bigger boards might be easier to work with rather than the tiny little projects I was putting together?

I can hear my credit card groaning in my pocket...

Scratch that, looks like there are drivers available for Windows 7 & up.

Wait a tick... According to the intro video on the ES website, they say "connect it to your mac or iOS device". Is this not compatible with Windows? Seems unlikely, but almost 500 dollars is a lot to spend to not be sure.

This doesn't really help with the size of the fan base. Maybe about 6" x 4" ish?

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with my audio I/O right now so I'd hate to buy another one just for this functionality. Might consider it when it's time for a new one someday.

Fair point, what I mean is if the cost of the interface and the ES-3 surpasses the cost of the ES-8, I can just use the ES-8 via USB connection, no?

Thanks! I'm not seeing an inexpensive Focusrite with ADAT capabilities. I could be wrong, I have been fooled before.

Hello, this is not entirely of-topic, but I'm wondering if the ES-8 Alone will eliminate the need for a optical out from an audio interface (which I don't have) and allow me to use Live's CV tools via a USB connection to the PC. CV tools look cool to mess with, but the price of equipment that I thou...

It's nice, albiet nothing groundbreaking. I'm just using it with a MOTU Ultralite. Need to dig into into sampling CV a bit more. Here's a pretty comprehensive vid from Sonicstate: So you're using the optical out to interface with your modular via the??? Expert Sleepers ES-8? Thanks for the video bt...

Has anyone seen the new capabilities from Ableton Live? I saw a video explaining them and was wondering if anyone has used them with their rig. Apparently if you route audio into Live, you can have Live calibrate the V/Oct signal so that the oscillator will stay in tune over multiple octaves. Seems ...

Pre-ordered after a few too many chardonnays. Woke up to a cranky cc the next day.

Go for the ones they did before that. Erpland, Pungent Effulgent and Strangeitude. You won't be dissappointed. Those early ones are full of fresh ideas and amazing playing, also very cool synth stuff by Joie Hinton (their original keyboardist). Their latter stuff is basically recycling the best ide...

We're a six piece rock oriented group with hardware synths and ableton Live. It's been a long time since we released anything but we have a third album that needs to get finished. A bunch of us had kids and got older so it's taking a long time. haha 2x Guitar Drums bass Percussion/flute Ableton/hard...

I've been on a big breaks kick lately. This is doing the trick!

still good new stuff out there, but harder to find, seems like more than 80% of it is just completely formulaic and uninspired. Got any suggestions? Kri Samadhi is an American Live act that's been at the Psy Sound for decades now. He's started releasing modular albums now. It's great. He also does ...

Ozrics are huge. So funny how things work out. I used to have a bunch of live Disco Biscuits shows on cd and tapers would just add whatever to the end of the last disc in the set for any given show but it wouldn't be noted anywhere what it was. "Stretchy" From Jurassic Shift was on one and it blew m...

This may not help you with your rack, but I was using a pulse from an alternate audio out from Ableton into Tempi to sync with the DAW. I recently got a keystep and this can be synced through USB to Live and you can send a gate or sync signal to your rack. Not everyone has a Tempi, but a lot of peop...

Good point. We install RF networks for cell service inside buildings. Not sure why those in particular are on the shelf, but definitely a good idea. Thanks again!

Ok, thanks for all your help. My boss won't be willing to keep them on the shelf so maybe I will do that.

Thanks again!

Good call. Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01ENGOA4S/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all Sort of but I wouldn't get the one you linked to since it only outputs one rail (you need a positive AND a negative 12v rail for eurorack along with a 0v rail.) Search someplace lik...
