Endorphin.es Spaceship – Episode 04 – Configuring Shuttle Control MIDI to CV
Configuring Shuttle Control MIDI to CV
This video is about basic Shuttle Control configuration with the endorphin.es/cargo website, but it’s also about making music. In future episodes I’ll cover the advanced stuff, but this video could be all you need to use your shuttle control with your DAW. In this ‘showcase’ I used two voices (midi channel 1 & 2) and a drum pattern (midi channel 10). This is the factory preset for the Arturia BSP, which also works very well for your DAW. I will also add three slow running LFO’s because Grand Terminal only has two.
The video features ‘Are Friends Electric?’ from Tubeway Army, composed by Gary Numan. It’s a song that can obviously be played on a modular and its also a personal tribute to Gary who made me fall in love with synthesizers when I was just a kid. It felt really good to ‘cover’ this one, but it also demonstrates the power of the Shuttle Control.
It was originally played on a Moog model D, so I used the sawtooth oscillators and the ladder filters for this patch. Queen of Pentacles is doing the beats.

Endorphin.es Spaceship | Episode 13 | Cockpit 1U, Golden Master 1U & Milky Way 1U
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.

Endorphin.es Two of Cups | Two channel sample player
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!
