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

"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."

GOLDEN MASTER PEDAL by ENDORPHIN.ES

video upload by Endorphin.es

"We proudly present the GOLDEN MASTER PEDAL: a 24-bit 96kHz multiband processor effect unit that redefines the art of sound manipulation.

AVAILABLE NOW from ENDORPHIN.ES directly and worldwide retailers: [see the dealers on the right]

Crafted with the discerning needs of both live musicians and studio virtuosos in mind, this pedal stands as a testament to punch and power. At its core, the Golden Master boasts 32-bit internal processing, delivering pristine audio that enriches stereo mixes and imparts life to individual elements.

This pedal brings a plethora of features including an classic 3-band equaliser with selective compression, end-of-chain limiter, multiband sidechain and stereo image widener with dry/wet control. Such a versatile array of tools makes the Golden Master an indispensable instrument for adding energy and clarity to your music - whether you are a guitar or bassists player or just mastering the whole mix directly into venue PA.
Innovating further, the per-band EQ can be controlled externally using an expression pedal or the sidechain envelope follower derived from an external audio source. This ground-breaking technique empowers you to harness granular control over the spectrum sculpting frequencies and dynamics with unparalleled precision.

Compact and lightweight, the GOLDEN MASTER PEDAL seamlessly integrates into live setups, allowing you to achieve commanding, stageready mixes effortlessly.
With the capability to store and recall 3 presets, morphing between soundscapes becomes an intuitive one-handed experience, ensuring your creativity flows unhindered.
Moreover, the Golden Master's high impedance inputs and pseudobalanced outputs transform it into an exceptional DI box for minimising
noise when interfacing with large PA systems."

Melodic Eurorack Livestream rehearsal - 3 tracks, all-analog, mostly minimal, ambient modular synth

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"This was streamed privately some time ago as a practice run of 3 rather minimal, melodic tracks, partly to test the streaming technology would all work. It was originally put together as a live set for an actual gig that subsequently fell through, so I planned to try streaming instead it over at @AJHSynthOfficial , but abandoned it due to technical issues. This take was a bit hit & miss too, as it wasn't intended to be shown, but I thought I'd share it anyway rather than waste it, since it took a lot of work. Enable captions/subtitles for a few commentary notes.

Gigs: I've almost given up trying to find an opportunity to perform live, but if you are connected to/hosting a music/synth event in the UK and looking for artists, you're welcome to contact me via Bandcamp (since there's no messaging service here anymore, and FB became futile). I'm located in Norfolk. I would like to play outside the UK too, but it's just not financially viable for me at the moment.

Instrument: I used entrirely AJH Synth modules to generate the sounds in this set. They produce by far the best sound of any synth gear I've used, and are especially nice to play and tweak in real-time. They are hand-made by a small company in the UK, and most of the modules are authentic recreations of classic/vintage circuits, including all elements of the Minimoog, but with modern design sensibilities and reliability.

Modules used:
1 Glide & Noise
3 Vintage Transistor Core VCO's
1 Ring SM (as sub-octave generator and CP3 mixer)
1 Transistor Ladder Filter
1 Contour Generators
2 Discrete Cascaded VCA's
1 Dual LFO
1 Wave Swarm (dual wave animators)
1 Gemini 2412 (dual multimode 'SEM' VCF)
1 Fixed Filter Bank 914
1 Tap-Tempo VC-LFO
Sequenced by an endorphin.es Ground Control
Mixed in AUM on an iPad, with Dubstation 2 delay and EOS2 reverb.
Streamed direct via a Lumix GH5ii."
