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.

Preset Manager & Macro Controller

New Arrival! The 6HP Total Recall module adds eight presets for three CV values to your system. This means you can store settings for three modular destinations like filter cut-off, resonance and reverb level. But it also means you could store melodies and three-note chords – and make chord progressions because presets can be selected with CV, or sequenced by a trigger.

You can control three smooth morphing min/max values in macro mode to make crazy transitions with one turn of the macro knob. Finally, Total Recall can be used to attenuate, boost and invert three incoming CV signals. There’s a lot it can do in such a small footprint.
