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
