New Endeavour Evo Videos

introducing the evo from endeavour on Vimeo.

"The evo is a pure keyboard controller that is connected to a computer via an Ethernet interface, and that communicates via Midi or OSC with synthesizers, sequencers or similar. The keys are the special feature here. Every single key is equipped with a sensor that allows evo to read the finger position on a certain area of the key surface. Thus, every key has, in addition to pitch and velocity, another level of the polyphonic data input that can be used for continuous control via cutoff, resonance, pitch other. And now. Think about a precise, continuous control of polyphone properties. Everything that previously affected notes equally using controllers and buttons can now be executed with simple moves of the finger on the keys for each individual note. In the future you will play chords and move one finger to emphasize one single note by changing the acoustic pattern, or to change the pitch regardless of the other notes."


Standard MIDI Synthesizers and The evo from endeavour on Vimeo.

"The evo is backward compatible to MIDI and other protocols. MIDI Synthesizers however sometimes do not feature things like Polyphonic Aftertouch. In general, they sometimes do not feature next to pitch and velocity any additional control over expression. Our evo2midi tool has some kind of special mode. The voice mode. Once activated every single note will be transmitted using a different MIDI Channel. In this video we are explaining how this affects your MIDI Synthesizers."


the evo - Native Max/MSP Support from endeavour on Vimeo.

"As a type of modular programming language, Max/MSP offers enormous potential for the development of audio software. In order to ensure the configuration-free and direct use of evo within the programming environment, we developed an “external” - which is written in “C” and handles the communication with evo in the background using its own threads."
