Expert Sleepers has announced a major update to their Disting Eurorack module – the Disting mk3.
New algorithms shipping with the disting mk3 include a voltage controlled delay, a tape delay, and a resonator/drum synthesizer.
Many existing algorithms have also been enhanced – with extra parameters, manual tap tempo (for the clockable LFO and delay modes), and a ‘knob recorder’ function.
Here’s what’s new in the Disting mk3:
- Smaller – now 42mm deep (from 53mm)
- Over 50% less power consumption – now 70mA combined draw (from 148mA)
- User-updatable code – via Micro SD card
- More algorithms – no longer limited to 16
- More functionality – new encoder and push buttons give more control options
Here’s the official video overview:
The Disting mk3 is expected to ship in November 2015. Pricing is TBA.
Is a mk2 upgradable?
No. This is a totally different peace of hardware. Sorry.
Oh man that sucks….was hoping to at least upgrade the firmware. Next time I buy a ES module I’ll have to remember they are not future proof.
expert sleepers modules are great. I kinda wish he had some videos and more info out there on how to program new scripts for this modules . ie: fh-1
Cool! Can’t wait to see what they do with the placeholders (please add a vocoder, please add a vocoder, please add a vocoder)
Also the reduced size means this will now fit in most skiffs!
Think I’ll get another one
This is the module that always most tempts me to purchase a modular system. Now it’s even better. I dunno how much longer I can hold out.
If you have a steady source of income, I say go for it man! You only live once after all 😉
D’oh! Shoulda waited before I bought 2 mark 2s this summer. Was kinda hoping they would get some new features. Oh well, the mk3 looks like a nice product.
How quickly can it chip a spud tho?
