Expert Sleepers is a UK-based maker of Eurorack modules and audio software founded in 2002 by Andrew Ostler (known as "Os"), a programmer and musician based in Edinburgh. The company began as a software venture, releasing the Crossfade Loop Synth VST in 2002, and later expanded into hardware in 2009 with the Silent Way suite — a set of plug-ins designed to bridge the digital audio workstation and modular synthesizers via DC-coupled audio interfaces.
The brand is best known for its modular interfacing tools and multi-function modules. Flagship hardware includes the ES-8 and ES-9 USB audio interfaces, which route audio and control voltage between a DAW and a Eurorack case, the FH-2 MIDI-to-CV converter, and the Disting series (including the Disting mk4, Disting EX, and Disting NT) — compact, menu-driven modules that pack dozens of algorithms such as oscillators, filters, delays, quantizers, and sample players into a single panel.
Software releases continue to complement the hardware line, including Augustus Loop, Silent Way, and Crossfade Loop Synth as VST, AudioUnit, and AAX plug-ins, along with modules for VCV Rack. The company operates as a one-person outfit and maintains a small Bandcamp label releasing music from artists who work with its tools.
Expert Sleepers has 63 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Modular Synthesizers, MIDI Interfaces, and Sampler Plugins.
