More than 6 AUX host outputs?

[XtheUnknown]

I am using VM with an Expert Sleepers setup that provides 16 inputs for my Eurorack modular. Is there a way for VM to support more that 6 AUX OUTS to host connections so that I can take advantage of all 16 Expert Sleepers channels?

Have you looked at these modules...?

Just in case they do what you want.

Thanks so much for the response! I should have been more specific. I am using Expert Sleepers ES-8 and ES-3, not the ES-40 (which is the hardware module that these VM modules support). Any ideas for integrating additional output channels to the ES-8 and ES-3? My other software products just treat the 16 ES-8/3 outputs as just another configurable output on my computer (no special drivers needed, etc.).

Thanks again for the help!

It’s been a while since I last checked in on this topic. Might someone have a solution? VCV Rack doesn’t have this limitation, and they’ve implemented their I/O expansion with add-on modules.

Perhaps Cherry could consider developing a solution if none currently exists.

Thanks so much!

I don't think there is currently any way to extend the number of outputs. I'm with you though. I'd love to see twice the number of outputs.

Yeah, I’ve run into a similar limitation when routing multiple channels. As far as I know, VM currently caps the AUX host outputs at 6, and there’s no built-in way to extend beyond that. One workaround I’ve seen is using multiple instances of VM as VSTs in a DAW and routing them separately. Not the most elegant solution, but it can help if you're trying to access all 16 ES inputs. Hopefully they’ll expand this in a future update.
