SHUTTLE OPERATED BY ENDORPHIN.ES INTERSTELLAR ENTERPRISES

LIFE IS A TRIP

• The Endorphin.es SHUTTLE is a unique performance instrument containing 5 Eurorack modules in one single 84hp faceplate

• Shuttle Control (SC)—16 channel USB->MIDI->CV interface with almost infinite possibilities interpreting MIDI events into

analogue control voltages—including CV/Gate, random or noise generators, MIDI or tap-clocks, utility LFOs and envelopes

• Furthrrrrr Generator (FG)—dual triangle-core VCO with a waveshaper

• Grand Terminal (GT)—dual voltage controlled gate with 8 resonant filter modes (ladder, diode, lpg, state variable, comb)

• dual envelope generators (voltage controlled) with looping/AD/ASR with arbitrary voltage to control slope shapes:

from EXP to LIN to LOG without stretching the length of a certain slope (GT)

• Cabin Pressure audio FX processor with 8 selected effects (GT)

• Cockpit (CP)—4 stereo channel mixer with sidechain ducking

• Gateway (GW)—dual 1+1 utility mixer and auto-tuners to scale, offset and invert voltages

INTRO

Endorphin.es, that’s us. We draw our own schematics, trace and prototype PCBs, write our own code, do our own panel de-

signs, encapsulate VCO core chips, squeegee own print-screens and make the package design, shoot video tutorials, perform
as artists and support the Modular Movement all over Europe.

And we are glad to finally present you, the SHUTTLE: the Endorphin.es performance modular synthesizer. It is the result of 5
years of intense development—module after module was put together neatly to finally create an instrument in a class of it’s
own—a set of well selected devices for musicians to imagine music and bring it to life in the most pleasant way.

There are no rules which and how many modules a modular system should contain. We offer a range of modules, that match
and altogether cover almost every aspect of musical performance—including sound generators, modifiers, effects, voltage
generators, MIDI processing and mixing.

With the SHUTTLE you obtain 5 Endorphin.es modules in a 84hp Frap.tools PLUS case with handmade Endorphin.es signature
silkscreen printing, a PSU, a set of cables and a carrying bag. The whole SHUTTLE is around 43-44 cm long—the approximate
size allowed in almost every airliner to ensure safe traveling with your instrument. Portable power adapters ensure the use
of instrument in any part of the world—no matter of the voltages coming from the power receptacle. The SHUTTLE panel is
secured in the case with Befaco Knurlies for ultra-fast access of the backside of the modules for trimming the parameters of
some modules, for setting jumpers (stereo/mono channels) on the Cockpit or installing the rich-in-timbres Strong-Zero VCO core.

‘Modular’ means flexibility in the first place—that’s one of the main reasons musicians like it. The SHUTTLE system may be
used as an independent modular instrument, as well as it may be mounted into another case of your choice, or even to be
disassembled into a separate single modules (drop us a line, if you wish to know how: [e-mail]).
