Total Nightmare | Endorphin.es Milky Way
I was preparing a new set and needed a small stereo FX unit. I mounted my MilkyWay but then I noticed that the incoming stereo sound was mono. I was pretty sure it was stereo with the previous firmware. So I browsed the manual for words like ‘mono’ and ‘stereo’, but could not find anything. I reverted back to older firmware (the video also has a tip if you own a bitbox and have to update modules with WAV files), and the incoming sounds were stereo again – but the old firmware is a bit noisy and the pops between modes can be terribly loud.
So no stereo. I asked support at Endorphin.es and the dear Andreas Zhukovsky himself pointed me to ‘Spacial movement’ in the read the f*cking manual. I noticed that before, but I obviously did not read carefully enough because the V3 version was stereo out of the box. I always assumed it had something to do with the FX and not with the incoming sound. I noticed that many Milky Way video’s use one input and even then the Spatial Movement can do wonders. Well, if you own one, make sure you check this out! More about Endorphin gear soon. It’s black, beautiful and pretty unique.
Note: i forgot to mention the two trimmers at the back of the module. They are set to modular level (CCW) so if you encounter noise from a module with modest output (like the BitBox I used), cranking up the volume may expose the internal noise from the ‘modest output module’. It is designed to patch an oscillator and they’re freaking loud (like Plaits I’ve used here). The trimmer also allows you to turn the trimmers to line level input (CW) if you wish – but I have no experience with that.
Today the Endorphin.es 1U modules are launched and I had the privilege to make a launch video. If you have an Intellijel 1U row in your case, you may find this video of interest. If not, you may need one!
Endorphin.es made the modules compatible with Intellijel case outputs and I happen to have a Stealth 7U case. Unfortunately, I found out my -12V rail was broken so my ‘Spaceship’ couldn’t fly. I couldn’t make the video! So I had to improvise while waiting for a new TRS80W board to arrive from Canada. Intellijel support has been amazing, but the board would come too late. However, you can also make a cool video when things go wrong. The broken -12V rail turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it gave me the opportunity to showcase how to troubleshoot and fix a technical issue in a live performance setting. I decided to document the entire process and turn it into an “ornament crime episode” for my YouTube channel. It ended up being a great learning experience for me and my viewers, and it added an unexpected twist to the original video concept. Sometimes, the best content comes from unexpected challenges.
Endorphin.es started with TRS stereo outputs on the Grand Terminal, Cockpit & Blck_Noir, but then switched to dual mono from there on the Queen and the 6 HP series. This basically meant you had to use adapters. The Cockpit 1U solves all this. It has one TRS stereo input, and three dual mono inputs, duck/side chaining and a TRS stereo out. You can connect Cockpit 1U to Golden Master from the back, keeping cable clutter ‘internal’. It’s a joy to patch them up with any sound you can find.
Starter Kit 07
This starterkit features Maths, Broken Tape Simulator, Golden Master and Desmodus Versio with Electus firmware.
Two-channel sample player
New Arrival! The Two of Cups is a two-channel sample player supporting pitch and sample selection with CV control. The knobs can be set to change the initial sample, pitch, and decay. 2OC comes with an SD card packed with sounds created by Julia Bondar, which include percussion, bass, and leads.
The 2OC is clearly designed to carry your ‘always used’ samples to complement a Queen of Pentacles or Blck_Noir drumkit, drones and leads. It seriously extends the sonlc abilities of a small system in only 6 HP of space. And ofcourse it pairs very well with the other 6 HP modules, especially the new Total Recall preset manager. The name Two of Cups refers to the Tarot card that celebrates a great relationship between two people in the fields of business and passion. It’s a lucky card!
