Expert Sleepers disting EX
The ultimate Swiss Army knife of Eurorack modules
8 HP Eurorack module
The disting EX is a feature-rich Eurorack multifunction module by Expert Sleepers that combines up to 26 single-mode algorithms (including samplers, granulators, reverbs, sequencers, and synthesizers) with a dual-mode that emulates two disting mk4 units simultaneously. It offers deep CV mapping, MIDI/I2C integration, SD card sample streaming, and a rich preset system, making it one of the most versatile and musically expansive modules available for Eurorack.
Features
- Single mode with 26 unique algorithms including sampler, granulator, looper, synths, effects, and utilities
- Dual mode emulating two disting mk4 units simultaneously at 96kHz sample rate
- Six analog inputs and four analog outputs, all DC coupled for audio and CV
- MicroSD card slot for sample streaming, preset storage, wavetable loading, and impulse responses
- Deep CV mapping system with per-input attenuverters and offset controls
- MIDI input/output support with SysEx, MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard), and MIDI mappings
- I2C connectivity for external controllers (e.g. 16n Faderbank)
- Scala microtuning support across multiple algorithms
- Preset system with named presets, bulk SD card operations, and auto-save
- Web-based preset and mapping editors
- ES-5 expansion module connectivity for additional gate outputs
- FHX-8GT and FHX-8CV expansion module support
