GHOST PEDAL by ENDORPHIN.ES x ANDREW HUANG

video upload by Endorphin.es

"We're thrilled to unveil the GHOST PEDAL: a collaborative masterpiece born from our ongoing synergy with Andrew Huang.

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

Tailored for audacious sound designers and electrifying live performers, the GHOST PEDAL embarks on an odyssey of multi-dimensional audio effects.

Prepare to be captivated by its arsenal of effects, including distortion, cabinet simulation, bitcrushing, and a trio of reverbs that span from lush halls with infinite freeze and shimmer to reverberating springs and ethereal reverses. A distinctive delay section takes centre stage, featuring a single delay line that can be harnessed for looping, stereo choruses and resonant textures.

The Ghost Pedal's expansive filter suite offers three distinct types – state-variable LP/HP, Band Pass, and a comb filter that morphs into a resonator with high resonance settings. Immerse yourself in sonic exploration as you modulate effects using the built-in multi-shape LFO or external sources such as the envelope follower, expression pedal or MIDI.

But what truly sets the Ghost Pedal apart is its Routing Matrix, providing six versatile routing options that redefine the sonic journey. With a simple button press, you can reshape the order of effects in the audio processing chain, from cataclysmic subharmonics to celestial shimmer reverbs.

The Ghost Pedal is a haven for creative expression, offering 9 presets that can be seamlessly morphed and recalled on the fly. Sharing and evolving your sound is effortless, as presets can be exchanged between users via SysEx messages opening the doors to endless sonic horizons.

The Ghost Pedal redefines convenience with its compact design, offering also an all-in-one solution for both pedal boards and multi-effect processors.

It boasts a carefully chosen selection of intuitive hands-on controls that eliminate the need for cumbersome menu diving, steep learning curve or connectivity overkill."

Exploring the Endorphin.es GHOST Pedal

video upload by Waveformer

"The Endorphin.es Ghost Pedal is a multi-effects distortion + filter + delay + reverb pedal with flexible routing and powerful modulation options. This video explores a part of the sonic landscape made possible by this pedal, with text overlays explaining the knob-twisting as I go along.

The Norand Mono plays a simple 8-note sequence, starting with a triangle oscillator, and then moving to richer timbres later on

The MS-70CDR is only provides a simple slow-moving AutoPan Delay, with depth set to maximum, so the delay volume is in effect modulated by a slow-moving LFO, like the echoes are circling around you and disappear when they're at your back.

The Golden Master Pedal is set up with the multiband compressor enabled on the low and mid bands. The Mid/Side-processor widens the stereo image for the upper and mid bands, and puts the lower (bass) band more towards center.

No effects were used on the Bluebox. It is only used for mixing/routing and for recording.

The audio is recorded to SD card on a Bluebox mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 18 (free version).

Thank you to Endorphin.es for sending over the Ghost Pedal and the Golden Master Pedal for me to test out.

Audio connections:
- Norand Mono - MS-70CDR - Ghost - Bluebox
- Bluebox master out - Golden Master - Bluebox channel 6 in"

The composition used in the last song is part of Vōlc's (@volc5406) song the matrix which was performed and debuted on Saturday the 29th of October 2022 during Modfest 2 (Modular Festival Auckland) in Red Bar, #Auckland

The Endorphin.es performance modular synthesizer is the result of 5 years of intense development — module after module was put together neatly by the team at Endorphines to finally create an instrument in a class of it’s own—a set of well selected devices for musicians to imagine music and bring it to life in the most pleasant way.

With the Shuttle System you obtain 5 Endorphin.es modules in a 84hp @FrapTools PLUS case with handmade Endorphin.es signature silkscreen printing, a PSU, a set of cables and a carrying bag. The whole Shuttle System is around 43-44 cm long which is the approximate size allowed in almost every airliner to ensure safe traveling with your instrument.

The portable power adapters ensure the use of instrument in any part of the world — no matter what the voltages is coming from the power receptacle.

The Shuttle's front panel is secured in the case with @Befacosynth Knurlies for ultra-fast access to the backside of the modules for trimming their parameters, setting jumpers (stereo/mono channels) on Cockpit 2 or installing the rich-in-timbres Strong-Zero VCO core onto Furthrrrr Generator.

The following modules are included in Shuttle System:

Shuttle Control - 16 channel USB to MIDI to CV interface with almost infinite possibilities interpreting MIDI events into analogue control voltages—including CV/Gate, random or noise generators, MIDI or tap-clocks, utility LFOs and envelopes. (Find out more here: https://synthesizer.nz/products/endor...)

Furthrrrrr Generator - dual triangle-core VCO with a waveshaper (Find out more here: https://synthesizer.nz/products/endor...)

Grand Terminal - dual voltage controlled gate with 8 resonant filter modes (ladder, diode, lpg, state variable, comb), dual envelope generators (voltage controlled) with looping/AD/ASR with arbitrary voltage to control slope shapes: from EXP to LIN to LOG without stretching the length of a certain slope, Cabin Pressure audio FX processor with 8 selected effects
(Find out more here: https://synthesizer.nz/products/endor...)

Endorphin.es Shuttle System Techno Jam

Published on Mar 22, 2018 TheEndorphines

"That's a raw live techno jam by Audio Units using an amalgamation of analog machines in the studio.

Audio Units use Endorphin.es Shuttle System as part of the #LifeIsATrip contest.

The KORG MS20 delivers the bass while the Endorphin.es Shuttle System comes in with the noisy lead sound.

A little something about the Endorphines #Shuttle, it's an excellent and versatile piece of gear with almost endless CV modulation possibilities with their 'Shuttle Control' module (incl. features like converting automation or MIDI CC values to Control Voltages that most Eurorack format modules should be able to comprehend)

The oscillators sound fat and rich, easy to tune. The choice of filter modes make it easy to shape frequencies or destroy them. The envelopes can be adjusted to make everything from the snappiest of percussive sounds to the longest of decaying drones. Cross modulation between the oscillators using the "Furthrrrr Generator" is incredible too. A must have for the modular synth addicts!

The Make Noise 0-Coast is being used to replace the filter envelope on the MS20 mini.

All of the above is being sequenced by the teenage engineering OP1's 'endless' sequencer with some basic spatial effects on the synth sounds using Ableton Live 10.

Please watch in HD and use a pair of headphones for the best quality."
