Expert Sleepers Disting Mk4 newest firmware update 4.9 features brand new compressors (stereo, side-chain, mono), logic algorithm & more!

The Expert Sleepers Disting mk4 is not a normal Eurorack module but a kind of Swiss knife with many functions. It can be a lot in a small rack space VCO, sample player, multipler, sample & hold, delay, filter & much more. The developer are now back with a new firmware update that brings again new functionalities to the module.

The new firmware update 4.9 features different compressors (stereo, side-chain, mono), logic algorithm, selectable out waveforms for the VCO and more. A really interesting and innovativ module in my opinion that offers modular users a lot of option in a 4HP module.

Overview

The disting is a many-in-1 multifunction module, offering a variety of CV and audio processes, including a selection of oscillators (LFOs/VCOs). All algorithms have two high-precision inputs and outputs, and a third control input, exposed on a front panel knob and a CV input.

The disting is also a sample (WAV) file and MIDI file player, with a variety of options for sample triggering, playback speed etc

New In Disting Mk4 Firmware Update 4.9

Added the Logic algorithm.
Added the Stereo Compressor, Side-chain Compressor and Mono Compressor algorithms.
Added selectable output waveforms (including a sub-octave square wave) to the VCO with linear FM & VCO with waveshaping algorithms.
Added the option for output B of the Wavetable VCO algorithm to be an octave or detuned version of the main output.
Added control over the envelope shapes for the AR Envelope & Clockable AD Envelope algorithms.
Added the ability to attenuate the Y CV input of the Quantizer 2 algorithm.
Added an additional Sum Mode to the Precision Adder algorithm.
Increased the output level of the Waveform Animator algorithm by 6dB.
Added the ‘WAV sample rate’ setting, offering the option to run the Audio Playback algorithms at a lower sample rate, reducing pressure on the SD card’s speed.
In the Dual Audio Playback algorithms, non-looping samples no longer play once when first selected; they only play when triggered.
Added support for the new form of the Select Bus save state message implemented by the Make Noise René 2.
The Sample and Hold algorithm now has a parameter for the colour of its internal noise generator.
Added new options to the Crossfade/Pan algorithm facilitating its use as an external effect loop processor.
The MIDI File Playback algorithms now support using both outputs as triggers.
