Expert Sleepers Disting NT

The Lounge Other Gear
43

This latest update really pushed it over the edge into “buy” for me. I was looking for it to implement the pitch tracking from the previous Disting, and it finally arrived!

Other thoughts where I think the NT keeps me from other gear:

The Torso S-4 has been on my radar for quite some time, but I’ve learned overtime that if I can do a thing in eurorack world, I’m much happier. Changing out routing and getting a live rig in play for a show is really a pain in the butt for when I get in full-on reassembly mode. Eurorack really solves that part of my brain.

Firmware 1.8 dropped today!

Anyone else diving into this contraption? I’ve had mine 3 days and it’s… a lot, but manageable. I feel like I felt when originally learning the Octatrack.

1.8 Manual

Firmware Page

1.8 details
  • Added support for running at various sample rates (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz) in addition to the default 48kHz; also added the option to change the audio buffer size. These apply both to using the module standalone, and as a USB audio device.
  • Added support for the ES-5, ESX-8GT, and ESX-8CV expansion modules.
  • Added the Vocoder, ES-5 Encoder, and ESX-8CV Combiner algorithms.
  • Added a ‘Source’ setting to CV mappings, so parameters can be mapped to any output of any algorithm, or to the module inputs.
  • Added a ‘tags’ scheme for algorithms, and the ability to filter by tags in the ‘Add algorithm’ menu.
  • The Tracker algorithm now supports ‘MIDI’ harmony mode.
  • The Step Sequencer now has a ‘One-shot’ reset mode, its ‘Skip’ and ‘Reset’ parameters are now probabilities, and there is a new per-step ‘Repeat’ probability.
  • The Step Sequencer now supports 32 sequence ‘snapshots’, which can be selected manually or under CV control.
  • The Mixer Mono and Mixer Stereo algorithms now have an ‘Output mode’ parameter for each send, and their main outputs can be set to ‘None’ (to allow “sends only” usage).
  • Exposed the ‘Pitch quantize’ parameter of the Granulator algorithm, which was functional but missing from the UI.
  • Improved error reporting from scripts loaded by the Lua Script algorithm.
  • Many more C standard library functions are now exposed to plug-ins.
  • Added circle drawing functions to Lua and to the C++ API.
  • The Lua functions setParameter and setParameterNormalized now take an extra parameter to control focus.
  • The C++ API is updated to v5, including support for algorithm specifications and tags. The maximum number of plug-ins has been increased to 500.
  • Fixed possible zipper noise when automating the Blend parameter of the VCF (State Variable) algorithm.
