the es-9 is a eurorack 16-in/16-out usb audio interface, with dc-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used for both audio and cvs.
with its balanced ¼" main outputs & headphone socket, it's the perfect one-stop solution for integrating a modular synth and a laptop/tablet, either in the studio or when playing out at a gig.
the es-9's 14 analogue inputs allow simultaneous tracking or mixing of a large number of sound sources in your modular, while the 8 dc-coupled outputs are perfect for controlling the modular with silent way,
max/msp, ableton's cv tools, bitwig studio or similar, or for sending audio out to the modular for processing.
for even more outputs (up to 48 more), the es-9 can be expanded with the es-5. it also has a pair of s/pdif sockets for connecting other digital audio gear.
the es-9 also provides a pair of midi sockets (via a breakout).
