The ES-5 is an expansion module for the Expert Sleepers ES-3 Lightpipe/CV Interface or ES-8 USB Audio Interface.

It piggybacks on one of the ES-3's (or ES-8's) stereo channels to provide eight gate/clock/sync/MIDI outputs on the ES-5 itself, plus further expansion headers to connect up to six expansion modules e.g. the ES-4 Gate Expander.

Specifications:

• Panel width: 4HP
• Module depth: 49mm
• Digital input: connection from ES-3 or ES-8 module
• Analogue outputs: 8x 3.5mm jacks, DC-coupled
• Output voltages: 0V/5V
• Indicators: illuminated jack sockets
• Expansion
  • 6 headers for connecting expansion modules e.g. the ESX-8GT
• Current draw: 8mA on the +12V rail, 0mA on the -12V rail

Functionally equivalent to the ES-5 mk2, the mk3 adds illuminated jack sockets, and matches the look of the ES-8.
