5 disting NT - Connecting the breakout

The disting NT is supplied with a 'TMB' breakout module. This video shows one way this can be used, to provide TRS MIDI input and output, and to expose the two additional audio outputs.

via Expert Sleepers "The disting NT is the latest in the line of modules from Expert Sleepers that started with the original disting in 2014, which performed one of 16 very different functions at the turn of a knob. This concept has evolved through the disting mk3 (2015) - which added the possibility of firmware updates, and so a continually improving selection of functions - and the disting mk4 (2017) - which added a display, and brought the MicroSD card slot onto the front of the module, emphasising its increased importance for functions such as sample playback - to the disting NT’s predecessor, the disting EX (2020).

Super Disting EX in Dual Mode is Incredibly Powerful

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) demonstrates using the Expert Sleepers Disting EX in dual mode. The Disting EX offers a dual mode which turns the module into 2 Distings which can be controlled separately. Using the module in dual mode allows you to build complex and powerful combinations to get just about any eurorack job done.

Learn more about the Super Disting EX here: https://bit.ly/expert_sleepers_distin...

The disting EX is a multifunction Eurorack module, building on the rich legacy of the previous disting incarnations, which can operate as:
-two souped-up disting mk4s, or as
-a single powerful module in its own right.

Fully DC-coupled, all inputs and outputs can be CVs or audio, depending on the selected function. The functions on offer include audio processing (filters, delays etc.), CV processing and generation (quantizers, pattern generators etc.), oscillators (VCOs, LFOs etc.), and sample playback.

Brand new features for the disting EX include an eight voice polyphonic sample (WAV) player, a powerful stereo tape delay (based on our own Augustus Loop), and a dedicated WAV recorder mode.

When acting as two disting mk4s, the disting EX offers these advantages:
-Higher sample rate (96kHz)
-Much more RAM (so all delays, reverbs etc. can be much longer)
-Lower latency when triggering samples (now 700µs)
And of course, an OLED display.

A Disting of Magic by The Art of Sound

A new track via MATRIXSYNTH supporter, The Art of Sound.

"Notes:

The Expert Sleepers Disting Mk3 is one of the most useful and powerful 'Swiss Army Knife’ eurorack modules I have ever come across.. with so many capabilities within a 4hp module and more to come with every firmware update it seems!

Here is a live performance of a melodic ambient soundtrack created entirely 'out of the box'…utilizing 12 (Yes, I know… Blame Ben (Divkid!!) Disting Mk3s to self generate almost all the creative ‘magic’

Setup:

7 Distings in Bank 1C Mode 4b (Shift Register Quantized CVs mode) performing the melodic Lead & Harmony parts

1 Disting in Bank 1A Mode 4b (Clockable LFO mode) for modulating Wavetables in Braids WMAP mode

2 Distings in Bank 1C Mode 4d (Shift Register Dual Random Triggers) for random rhythmic filter & volume patterns

1 Disting in Bank 1A Mode 3d (Clockable Delay/Echo Mode)

1 Disting in Bank 1B Mode 3d (State Variable Filter)

3 MI Braids for monophonic sounds (Sequenced by Distings)

Boomstar Quadnic for polyphonic ‘Strings’ (Sequenced by Distings)

80 MODULES IN 4HP?! Disting MK4 review and my top 5 algorithms

Published on Mar 26, 2018 loopop

"The Disting has an ever expanding library of onboard modules or algorithms that can do very different things - currently about 80 but probably more by the time you watch this, all embodied in a 4HP module.
​
If you like modules that are clearly labelled knob per function, the Disting is not for you, but if you’re in a pinch for a module that’s missing from your setup, it’s more than likely that the multifunction Disting from Expert Sleepers has a version of it - ​ranging from oscillators, envelope generators and LFO’s all to way to audio recording, sample playback, physical modeling and effects.

The new, fourth version of Disting – the MK4, introduces a dot matrix screen, that while is relatively small, makes the module substantially more accessible.

In this video I give an overview of Disting's layout and how to use the compact module, as well as sound examples for my personal top 5 modules."

FH-2 Shift Register Random Quantized CVs (2)

video upload by Expert Sleepers

"'Shift Register Random Quantized CVs' from the FH-2.

About three years ago I posted a video on YouTube titled 'disting EX generative piano patch', which used an FH-2 to clock a disting EX running the random CV generation, driving another disting EX playing the multisampled piano.

The random CV generation is now (firmware 1.22) in the FH-2, so we can do the same with one less module. In fact, we can do better, since the FH-2 has more outputs - here there are three random patterns each driving a CV/gate pair on the disting EX.

No human interaction until about 1:30 where I drop out the patterns one at a time. No audio processing - you're hearing the direct output of the disting EX."

“Manifestation Manual”

Dream Suite: Stages 1-2 (Dream / Will)

Performed live on a modular synthesizer.

Mixed in Ableton Live.

COMPOSITION NOTES

==================

Dream Suite: A Manifestation Manual

• Dream
• Will
• Expand
• Flourish
• Release

In the first two movements, we dream the dream then use our will to burn all obstacles on the path to manifestation. We complete the second stage exhausted, only to reemerge from the ashes in the third stage, reborn and ready to expand. The dream seed fuels our expansion as we flourish and learn how to let go.
