Hi.
Quite a shot into the dark, but: Is anyone here by chance into
eurorack modular and has tried the Expert Sleepers ES-8 USB Interface
with Linux yet? It claims to be class compliant, but you never know...

I have not tried it, but everything I have read about this device indicates that it should
work. Let me know, I'm considering it too ;) it should appear as an 16-out, 12-in
audio interface (where 8 ins and 8 outs are the ADAT connections).
The ES devices like to use custom signal mangling (basically word packing formats in their
digital audio stream) to daisy chain devices at lower bit-depths (ESX-* devices via the
ES-5 expansion interface). You won't be able to use their "silent way"
drivers for these expansion devices under Linux so you are limited to audio IO only... you
can send/receive CV too, but their expanders are more efficient for multiplexing lower
resolution triggers and CVs onto fewer host audio channels.
I started to develop a silentway Jack client and did a chunk of research on the signal
mechanics. I wrote it all up in the README at https://github.com/bgribble/silentway
Thanks,

I just got one and currently have audio playing from my synth, into the es-8,
effected by pure data and back out the es-8
I'm using Jack with a buffer size of 64.
I remember pd having a default minimum latency of 64 frames so that is why chose
64 with jack, pd crashed when I set jack to 32 but I'll be testing more with
some other software.
