Endorphin.es - West coast patch notes

Some Basic West Coast Patch notes using mainly endorphin.es modules

Out of Furthr ---> in of LPG (Terminal or Takaab LPG)

The main sound source is the final output (triangle icon on a modern Furthrr) of the Carrier.

The Furthr is a complex oscillator made up of a mod osc and a carrier osc.

It's layout is close to a Buchla 259.

 

 

 

The terminal is made up of two LPGs and two modulation sources.

Reminds me a bit of the Buchla 208 LPGs and envelopes.

These envelopes/modulation sources are called Airplane A & Airplane B.

We are using these on the Furthrrrr generator.

 

The unedited video:

 

Airplane B modulates the waveshaper of  the Carrier Osc

Airplane B modulates the frequency (via the ‘mood index’) ... those 4 switches

which separate the mod osc & Carrier osc.

Just using the unipolar outputs of both airplanes.

 

 

Using CV output #9 of the shuttle control.

It's connected to a Faderbank 

see post:

• Endorphin.es Shuttle control & faderbank 16n

..

This is sending out a LFO/SH .. the timing is controlled by the 16n

CV output #10 is also good for this patch

Its sending out a fluctuating LFO

 Envelope A (Airplane A) modulates the decay of Airplane B

 

Finally using shuttle control outputs  1 and 2

They are plugged into the main CV in of both MOD and CARRIER oscillators

of the Futhurr 

 

 See post

Allows a bit of octave shifting

Endorphin.es Shuttle control & faderbank 16n

 The Faderbank -16n 

is a excellent controller for the Endorphin.es Shuttle control

 

It sends midi CC messages via the USB

The editor is at:

https://16n-faderbank.github.io/editor/

 

You should see a page like this

 

 

The 16 channels correspond to CC values from 32 to 47 (default)

You can of course customize this.

I decided to leave the CC values as they are for the moment

Set all the channels to Omni

 

The 16th jack is being used as my master clock.

It's a square LFO responding to CC 47

 

Happy 909 day

 The Queen of Pentacles just arrived in time for September 9.

Thank you endorphin.es & Happy 909 day

 

I don't know which drum I like the most.

I really like both and will probably keep both

They each have 7 voices.

The queen has 3 analog drum voices and 4 sample based voices. You can put your own samples in the SD card which is at the back on the module.

I dont mind this. Its a drum machine, not a sample player. The real estate is better utilised with more controls and effects than a SD card slot.

 

It's not a clone / copy of the Roland TR 909 which I'm happy about. We need new drums. 

Apparently, the 3 analog voices are based on 909 circuits ... but there is no intention to just copy.

This is so refreshing to see. Thank you Endorphin.es for creating something new, which still honours the past.

 

If you want a 909, get one.

 

The Blck Noir.

Here the circuits are loosely modeled on the Roland CR-78. 

Though it sounds nothing like my 78.

It's a little more noisy (in a good way) and the extra effects and controls open up the beast.

It reminds me of the DFAM. both very different, but industrial and metallic sounding.

It shares the same effects and filter as the Queen.

The voices are

• Kick
• Snare-drum
• Tambourine
• Closed hi-hat
• Open hi-hat
• Cymbals
• Metal beat

Missing the Guiro. It does have the "metallic beat" ..an accent that can be overlaid on the hi-hat voice

which I think sounds really neat.

The Master isolator-style LP/HP filter is great.

Endorphin.es - Shuttle Control - choosing a USB controller

 Some of the midi controllers that work with the Shuttle Control

The old Korg Nano Control

 

 The Teenage engineering OP-1

The OP-z is particularly interesting as it has 16 midi tracks.

The online editor was a bit tricky at first to decipher, but these settings seem to 

work OK with the OP-Z

I decided to use jacks 5,6,7,8, & 13,14,15,16.

These correspond to midi channels 5, 6, 7, 8 which the OP-Z uses

for its Bass, Lead, ARP & Chords tracks.

I'm still experimenting with the rest of the jacks.

They could be sources of random voltages, LFOs, envelopes, Sync clocks, etc

-----------------------------------

To add a "analog clock" set one of the channels to

Omni       syncronization         PPQN+ 24 (1/4)

This is great for driving a sequencer

 

To divide the clock in half just use a PPQN +48 setting
