We're delighted to announce that a plug-in is now available for VCV Rack to allow direct use of the ES-40, ES-5, ESX-8GT and ESX-8CV from within Rack itself.

The plug-in can be downloaded from the Rack plug-in manager in the usual way. It's free (as in beer).

We’ve just released three new modules:

* The ES-40 SPDIF Interface (£94.80) converts a standard S/PDIF input to five channels of expansion headers, which are used in conjunction with the Expert Sleepers ESX range of expanders.

* The ESX-8CV CV Expander (£130.80) is an expansion module for the ES-4, ES-40 or ES-5, adding eight CV outputs from one expansion header.

* The ESX-8GT mk2 Gate Expander (£54) is an expansion module for the ES-4, ES-40 or ES-5, adding 8 on/off outputs for use as gates, triggers, clocks etc. from one expansion header.

All are available immediately.
