Guessing this is the same ESi posted back in 2008 here.

"Aunque el lanzamiento oficial se producirá en el inminente NAMM, ESI mostraba en su stand Xjam, un coqueto controlador de pads y encoders. Os contamos sus características y repasamos otros productos recientes de su catálogo, en particular sus interfaces MIDI con detección automática de entradas y salidas que además aportan un útil hub USB 3.0 y disponibles en variantes de 8 o 16 conexiones clásicas MIDI DIN 5 puntas, o alguno de los recientes modelos de interfaces ultracompactos con interfaz tanto Dante (Ethernet) como USB."

Googlish:

"Although the official launch will take place at the imminent NAMM, ESI was showing Xjam, a cute controller for pads and encoders, at its booth. We tell you about its features and review other recent products from its catalogue, in particular its MIDI interfaces with automatic detection of inputs and outputs that also provide a useful USB 3.0 hub and are available in variants of 8 or 16 classic MIDI DIN 5-pin connections, or any of recent ultra-compact interface models with both Dante (Ethernet) and USB interfaces."
