Endophin.es announces a new V3 Firmware Update for Endorphin.es Ghost, its collaboration with Andrew Huang
Endorphin.es does pedals
It’s really interesting how Eurorack and pedals enjoy a sort of symbiotic relationship. They dabble in each other’s worlds, broaden the market, and we all end up benefiting. Although I do get this feeling that the more complex pedals get the less they spend under our feet. This means we end up with pedals on our desktops with clunky buttons.
V3 Firmware Update
UPDATE: [11th July, 2024] Announced today is a new V3 firmware update for the Ghost pedal, developed in conjunction with Andrew Huang. It focuses on an all-new randomisation feature:
- SHIFT + REVERB + ROUTING randomises the patch incl. random LFO freq. but does not randomise the volume/mix/cabinet
- MODULATION + REVERB + ROUTING randomises the modulations.
- Long SHIFT + MODULATION press clears all modulations
On top of this, the bandpass filter has had its frequency limited to a range of 100Hz-7kHz instead of full range. They’ve also made the filter behaviour more useful so it operates a bit like a DJ filter. The lowpass filter works until silence and the highpass to 2.2kHz. Works well with a lot of resonance, we’re told!
Along with the V3 update, there’s also a new bank called the AFX bank which includes 9 new versatile presets with “movement you’ve never heard!”. Sounds intriguing!
The V3 firmware update is available to download right now and is completely free of charge.
Ghost
Original Article: [13th April, 2023] Ghost is a multi-dimensional effects chain processor designed with super producer and YouTuber Andrew Huang. In pedal form, it relaxes the cramped feel of the Eurorack module and lays it all out much more logically. I confess that the Ghost module bamboozled me with its packed-in functionality, so this looks much better.
Ultimately it will sit on the end of your chain of sounds giving it energy and making it sound fabulous. It can also be used as a DI box.
The Ghost Pedal has line and a JFET guitar input with cabinet simulation. Then you’ve got a Reverb, Filter, Distortion and internal LFO for modulation. The reverb features a freeze option, delay looper, comb with resonator, and spring mode with virtual spring excitement.
It’s MIDI controllable, and you can assign the expression pedal to all sorts of parameters. And you have the ability to set all sorts of routing options.
Ghost is really good in a pedal.
Golden Master
Based on the Golden Master Eurorack module, the Golden Master Pedal is a multiband compressor with EQ, mid-side processing, and stereo enhancement. It has stereo in and out and an input for an expression pedal. Each band gets a compression knob along with a global threshold.
Availability
Both pedals are available now!
