The disting NT is the latest in the line of modules from Expert Sleepers that started with the original disting in 2014.
Building on ten years worth of user feedback, the new disting NT is more powerful and easier to use than ever before. It features a bigger screen, more powerful processing, increased connectivity, and is skiff friendly at only 25mm deep. The disting NT is capable of performing any number of functions within a modular synthesizer. What will the disting NT do for you?
The Disting NT includes 50 algorithms at the time of launch including:
Poly Multisample, Granulator, Audio Recorder, Mixer, EQ, and the Kirbinator. Many more will be added soon!
What does it do?
The module takes audio and/or CV input, runs a bunch of software processing, and generates audio and/or CV output. It does this continuously.
The chunks of software processing are called algorithms. You can think of them much as you would think of plug-ins in your DAW. The module has a number of algorithms to choose from, and you can add the ones you want in a big list and the module will run them all.
What is it not?
The disting NT is not a “virtual modular”. There are no virtual cables flying around. It simply collects together a variety of functions that are useful in the context of a modular synthesizer and makes it possible to use a number of them at once.
It is not a “patch player”. It is not the intention that you do all the complex setup on a computer and then copy it over to the module. The module is designed to be used in a modular, with a UI that makes it fluid to do everything in the module itself.
It is not only useful via MIDI. The large number of inputs (and outputs) makes it possible to use it entirely via CV, interfacing with the rest of your modules in a natural way. (That said, it does also make a really good MIDI polysynth.)
Power: 211mA +12V, 96mA -12V, 0mA +5V
Inputs
Twelve sockets on the left of the module (numbered in black on white) are the inputs. Inputs can operate at either modular or line level, selected by jumpers on the rear panel.
Modular max voltage ±12V input impedance 101kΩ
Line max voltage ±3.5V (+10dBu) input impedance 29kΩ
Outputs
The six sockets on the right of the module (numbered in white on black) are the outputs. The outputs have a maximum range of ±11V. There are an additional two outputs available via a header on the rear of the module.
USB
The module has a type C USB socket to the left of the display. The disting NT is a High Speed USB 2.0 device. It is not a USB host. The module does not draw power from the USB connection.
The disting NT is a MIDI Class and Audio 2.0 Class compliant device. As such it needs no drivers when used with macOS, iOS, and Linux. An audio driver for Windows is available via the Expert Sleepers website.
Connectivity
The disting NT can send and receive MIDI via a breakout header, via the Select Bus, and via USB. The module can also send and receive I2C via the header on the rear panel.
