Eurorack Jam Case… What Could Go Wrong?!

video upload by Dots

"Join me for another Mini Modular Moments episode as I unveil my brand new studio recording and jamming Eurorack case! In this video, I walk you through every module in my compact modular synth build — from the Frequency Central Product to the Squarp Rample drum sampler — and explain why I chose each one. Then, I power it up for the very first time on camera to see what kind of noise (or magic!) it can make.

Featuring voices, drums, filters, modulation, and a Keystep Pro for control, this case is designed for full jams in a portable format. Expect some happy accidents, a little chaos, and plenty of patching fun.

1. Getting started with modular - 4 eurorack systems explained

There are many ways to get started with modular, and many reason to be interested in it. There is no single solution, modular is a journey and you have to discover and experience your own. This video is part of a series where I share some thoughts and ideas I wish I could find when I started out. Take or leave whatever you like :)

2. What modules should you buy when starting with modular?

Getting started with eurorack can be confusing. The number of modules available grows ever week. And on top of that, what you need depends on what you want to do with your modular. In this episode in a longer series, I look at a 4-module starter voice as an option.

BAF 2025: Endorphin.es Cockpit X

video upload by sonicstate

"At BAF 2025 we hooked up with Andrea*s from *Endorphin.es who introduced us to a couple of new and updated modules, starting with the newest iteration of Cockpit*, their stereo 4 channel mixer with improved VCA chips for crystal clear audio quality, and a new simple to use layout. There are also two auxilliary inputs round the back, and sidechain ducking making it a great solution for Eurorack mixing. *Cockpit X is priced at 179 USD/Euros.

Andreas then showed us the new firmware for Ground Control sequencer with expanded functionality including the ability to load projects during live performance allowing for endless live shows with no stopping to load."

Make HAPPY ACCIDENTS on the fly with the new GROUND CONTROL Firmware V.3

video upload by Endorphin.es

"We are presenting you the updated GROUND CONTROL - our flagship eurorack sequencer which got the major Version 3 firmware update - it is available to download from our website for free:

https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gr...
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gr...

We listened all of you carefully and implemented all the requests for the MIDI and variable modular clock and 128 steps per pattern, but what is the most interesting is that GROUND CONTROL now has a dedicated HAPPY ACCIDENTS maker - RANDOM PATTERN GENERATION and RANDOM PATTERN VARIATION. There are three pretty different random generators - which are separate for melodies and rhythm tracks which generate melodies and rhythms on the fly. Those algorithms are: euclidean, wide and narrow.

Euclidean randomizer which tend to equally distribute the notes over our pattern steps
Wide randomizer has lots of random and lots of actions freedom
Narrow randomizer is more focused giving more clear result

Important to note that for melodic tracks those pattern generators track the music scales and their root notes, while 8 drum tracks all have different character (density, rhythmic pattern), it is worth to play with them to obtain an interesting result."

via endorphine.es

"EXPAND YOUR SYNTH, EFFECTS PEDAL OR MIDI CONTROLLER

We will proudly present the rather simple but ever so useful PLUS 3 – desktop expression and sustain pedal that adds controls and unlocks features in MIDI controllers, synthesizers, effects pedals and semimodular/eurorack instruments, some in ways previously not possible

PLUS 3 is designed for musicians who prefer compact desktop control of features accessible via the sustain and expression jacks of their instruments, as opposed to using their feet or bulky sustain and expression pedals on their desk.

PLUS 3 includes a high-quality fader for expressive performance and automation, a momentary sustain key, and an innovative 'drone mode' toggle switch, which lets you free your hands and hold notes indefinitely. In drone mode, the momentary key’s functionality changes, to let you swap droned notes with new ones.

PLUS 3 is totally passive, meaning it doesn’t require any power to work. It’s made of aluminum, so it’s sturdy, light, and portable. Its sustain key is based on standard mechanical keyboard-style keys, so you can customize it and swap the key out to make the pedal your own with your key of choice.

Capabilities PLUS 3’s sustain side unlocks for instruments with a sustain jack, subject to the instruments capabilities are among other:

A momentary sustain button for instruments that don’t have a dedicated physical sustain control (most don’t!)

A dedicated drone/hold/arp latch switch for instruments that don’t have one (many don’t!). It’s important to note that even if an instrument has a hold button, its sustain jack may unlock additional functionality or behavior (for example, a button that simply holds notes does not cause Piano VSTs to resonate sympathetic strings in the way using sustain does. See more examples in Loopop’s video)

Momentary and toggle control of any parameter mappable in your DAW synth’s mod matrix/menu system, or effect pedal (for example, sostenuto, a freeze effect, dry/wet bypass, swapping presets, etc)

Capabilities PLUS 3’s expression side unlocks for instruments with an expression jack are, among other:

Rave Jam with Echo Cinematic and Poly Cinematic and friends

video upload by knobula

"Poly Cinematic sequenced through an Echo Cinematic. The eq on the echo cinematic means there no muddy bass frequencies being repeated and only the brighter notes catch the echo, then there’s a few builds where I’m turning up the band pass frequency on the echo and adding a bit of the reverb in as well. Finished off with some Kickain side chain pump action and percussion provided by @rocket_not wobbler, @endorphin.es Queen of Pentacles and dark pew pews from @busycircuits Taiko Daiko."

GodSpeed NEW | A Tiny Case Adventure | by Endorphin.es

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Obviously, this video is about the new Godspeed V2. However, it's a simple 6 HP mono VCO with a few nice tricks, and not that different from the V1.
It can be explained in a minute or two, but we'll be missing the smaller picture.

For this video I wanted to feature Godspeed in a 'tiny case adventure', where my tiny case would be 60 HP. I'd say anything smaller is microscopic.
The Endorphin.es 6 HP line offers great starting points for building a mini-synth, especially when you turn it into a tiny haunted house with the awesome Ghost. Sure, the Ghost takes a lot of valuable space, but it's an all-in-one powerhouse and it's impossible to make a tiny Shuttle with separate delay, reverb, distortion, compression, bitcrushing and filtering. It will not fit. Like it or not, the Ghost is a masterpiece and one of my top 10 modules (chech the latest firmware too).

This also made me realize I was still clueless about TZFM. Then I needed to find a way to explain it to you! It's way more simple than the hype suggests.

I have the luxury to use both my old and new Godspeeds and build a complex 12 HP VCO. If you get the urge to buy two, don't. They'll sum up to $600 which can get you furthrrrrr with a 259 style VCO. Instead, keep it tiny and add a cheap 4HP Airstreamer 4 (or expensive Instruo Cnoc) which can also do 1V/OCT and double as a modulating VCO. But most important, don't buy anything unless your absolutely sure it serves the (modular) music you love most. Don't end up with a tiny case and 101 modules.

Endorphin.es sneaked in a free 1U autopilot (even though I have the 3U and GodSpeed doesn't need it), so there's a small 'commercial break'. I consider Endorphin.es close modular friends so this video is inevitably a bit biased.
This was another reason to make a more general tiny case video that just 'happens' to contain a lot of Endorphin.es modules and sum up to a very powerful synth.

However, your personal journey starts at ModularGrid.
Have a safe and prosperous trip."

INTRODUCING: ENDORPHIN.ES - AUTOPILOT 1U / review by MATTHS

video upload by Endorphin.es

"Welcome AUTOPILOT 1U – smallest 1U tile utility which proved to be very practical to tame the melodic value in the eurorack systems - AVAILABLE NOW

AUTOPILOT is an innovative auto-tuner module for analog oscillators. Tune your oscillators fast, just apply the AUTOPILOT in between the pitch CV and apply the reference waveform. Before it was available as a dual autotuner in 3U version (4hp) and now is available as a single autotuner 1U Intellijel format version (6hp). The problem with all analog voltage controlled oscillators is that the applied 1v/oct pitch voltage might not match up exactly to what note’s frequency they should generate and it'll end up sounding out of tune. What's worse is that even if you adjust for this you'll need to re-adjust as the instrument gets warmer. With the AUTOPILOT we play a reference A or C note thru the pitch CV into an oscillator. Single button press enables the tune function to the nearest A or C note. Long hold press disables the tune. Super long hold changes the tune from A to C notes or vice versa.

NEW GODSPEED is a peak performance, compact 6hp VCO with complex analog waveshapers, auto-tuning and MIDI control. It is the successor module of the GODSPEED with the revolutionary, literally instant auto-tuning. The problem with all analog voltage controlled oscillators is that the applied 1v/oct pitch voltage might not match up exactly to what note’s frequency they should generate and it'll end up sounding out of tune. What's worse is that even if you adjust for this you'll need to re-adjust as the instrument gets warmer. Now you will never be out of tune whether you are playing by 1v/oct or MIDI.

Using the Launchpad Pro as a DAWless workstation | Novation Connects

video upload by Novation

"In our first episode of Novation Connects, we demonstrate how to sequence the Pulsar 23 and Fireball via midi with our Launchpad Pro, in a DAWless approach to music production.

Here's how to sequence external gear with your Launchpad Pro, using a DAWless setup. The Pulsar 23 and Fireball are connected to the Launchpad Pro via midi, allowing the user to send midi notes and cc parameters to both the Fireball and Pulsar 23. This allows you to sequence and control each instrument. The Launchpad Pro is mapped to send midi to each drum track on the Pulsar 23, and another midi channel on the Launchpad Pro is mapped to sequence the Fireball. This DAWless setup is great for both music production and live performance.

Chasing Ghosts

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Hi All,
It's been a while since my last video and it will take a while to get back into the routine. I came down with a flu from hell and I've been out of order for two weeks. It's the first time since 2020 and I can't remember flu hitting this hard, not being able to sleep, eat, listen to modulars or watching TV. I tested negative on Covid-19, but maybe it's Covid-24. Who knows.

On January 30 I posted the 'Where's the Easel' video. I made a decision to go for Eurorack in 2020 and 'never' wander Buchla's official banana path. So while it's easier to just buy an Easel, spending $6K in a different universe is just not an option. So the Quest continues.

This is a video full of dead ends. I was pretty convinced I could approximate the Buchla with Endorphin.es Shuttle System and the Sensel Morph controller but only got one aspect of it. Using the Beatstep Pro only confirmed how important that Electronic Music Box touch keyboard is.

It confirmed how close the Shuttle is to the Easel Command, and yet so far away. I thought the Verbos Touch Keyboard would be a solution, but it was not. I found a used one, but it felt unresponsive and didn't track pitch. Fortunately I managed to calibrate it, but my fingers and touchplates are not compatible.

Again, tunnel vision made me completely overlook the Buchla LEM 218E V3 touch keyboard - which now comes with Eurorack outputs on the side. So I took a leap of faith and ordered the 218E. Hopefully the Quest comes to an end just before March, hoping the Easel is more than a Eurorack ghost. Speaking of Ghosts, I also tried to fit the Endorphin.es Ghost delay in the Shuttle, another dead end, which are actually u-turns. This was a tough video to make for many reasons and it felt like chasing ghosts. It's all over the place. But I think I am getting somewhere now, and learned a lot."

A Mastering Toolbox for Your Sounds & Music // Golden Master Pedal from Endorphines

video upload by DivKid

"The idea of some live mix polish, simple hardware mastering for modular/dawless/live set ups or simple a characterful parallel processor and DI box is certainly an exciting one. The Golden Master from Endorphines builds on inspiration from classic ‘90s mastering rack units and their experiences with live performances with synths & modular and puts together a box of multi band compression, EQ and multi band stereo mid/side based stereo enhancement.

This pedal version offers presets, sidechain or expression pedal inputs, stereo ins and outs, per band mutes (handy for setting up each band but also as a performative frequency dependent set of mutes!) and parallel processing (i.e. dry/wet mixing) options.
