ES-8 standalone mode and Windows drivers
19/01/17 14:28 Filed in: hardware updates
NAMM 2017 - two major updates for the ES-8 USB 2.0 Audio Interface module.
Firstly, a new firmware release scheduled for just after NAMM will allow the ES-8 to work in 'standalone' mode, that is, without a USB connection. In this mode, the ES-8 functions as an ADAT-to-audio converter, much like a combination of the ES-3 and ES-6 modules.
Secondly, we're glad to announce that Windows drivers for the ES-8 will (at last) be available in February 2017, allowing users of Windows 7, 8 & 10 to utilise the ES-8 for the first time.
(Update - these are now available. See the ES-8 page for details.)
