Endorphin.es Shuttle Modular Synth System - SonicLAB Review

[@Genshi]

This is seriously an excellent demo of the Shuttle system. Beautifully done!

[@fleuwsburrow8868]

Finally someone does a proper overview of this....great work dude 🖖😄

[@everymandan4176]

LOVE the last patch, very Tomorrow's Harvest!!

[@vladimirussachevsky1315]

I need to stop torturing myself by watching reviews of things I will never own. Sounds fantastic.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Just buy an Elektron Analog 4 and be happy :-) or just buy a Phenol, Modulor 114, Plankton Ants and many modular boxes that cost WAY LESS and do the same bloody thing or more. I do like the cartoon yellow artwork however.

[@wurlinnawurl]

None of that stuff even has a lpg or anything vactrol based.. How is that the same? This is a whole other type of synthesis?

[@tehnik333]

well designed solid instrument. great sounding and nice demo, thanks

[@DarrylMcGee]

What a unique and well thought out boutique machine. Thanks for that really useful overview.

[@Zinfidel1]

Those were some awesome patches, nice work Edd! Also, excellent demonstration of the Roli Blokes. Edit: Blocks not Blokes.

[@Zinfidel1]

15:52 there's a spaceship abducting a cow.

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

I know it´s a lot to do with who demos this stuff, but this box has my dream analog flavor. A little wonkey and "between stations" and has that retromantic character.. I guess I got it from the soundeffects on all the early 80´s childrens programs. This just has that.. that... THING! You know THAT thing? Buchlaesque dare I say? Hard to put a price on having something that is so right for me and just tickles my imagination.. 2300E..? We´ll if I play it for a thousand hours, that´s 2,3 euros an hour for the pleasure. Does it hold its value over time, used modules seem to go for at least 1/2 if not 2/3 price, right? Quitting smoking pays for this thing in a year :)

[@phelper4554]

The filter is digital 😅

[@adamd3820]

To some extent, the roli equator software does the exact same thing

[@hypnoz123]

What’s your point? There are cheaper software equivalents for most hardware.

[@loheitz4086]

please can anyone show exactly how the iPad thru USB is connected, everybody plays like that but don't comment about the actual connection with what kind of adapter. first you seam to program the shuttle and later with which programation is connected role blocks

[@TJ-vv3ex]

100% getting this at the end of the month providing they still have them in stock. What a machine 😊

[@loheitz4086]

T James . . . odered since 4 weeks, I hope the phone will ring soon for the pickup

[@TJ-vv3ex]

Lo Heitz I have to wait until the end of the month but Juno shows in stock so let's hope I won't have to wait too long 👌😁

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

way less than a Buchla music easel and easier to use than the Make Noise modules.

[@Hyper5nic]

So if you have no internet connection, the company stops, or for some reason the website goes down, you can't edit the voltages anymore? I do hope the website eventually becomes an app for IOs and Android.

[@modularben7421]

but you have to admit that Endorphin.es has the best looking Eurorack model women on the planet!

[@jonridley]

They are designed to self destruct and if that happens, it's called 'operation blaze of glory' . well, either that or they just wont be updating the perfectly functional software any further...

[@jonridley]

i agree about it being an app tho.. good idea

[@MathHammer]

Interesting hybrid design choice of an analog Buchla-style complex oscillator (my understanding is that there is a digital oscillator chip option that admits TZFM) with two VCS's but digital filters and effects. It looks and sounds like the system is designed to be very musical and playable as an instrument. I can't say I will ever own one of these due to $$ and other factors, but it is definitely on my "things I would like to have" given $$ + time.

[@DrMoe.Lester]

At last, a proper run through the system! Thanks

[@EquestrianSport]

that thing is amazing! you can really get a lot with that thing.

[@DubElementMusic]

i still dont get it, why are synthesizer so extremly expensive? its not a ultry complex hardware to build and its still mass production ..... imo this thing is not more worth than 500 maximum

[@RootKaissar]

you buy the creativity of how they put all the same compenents that everyone use, not the components themselves

[@phelper4554]

Build it yourself if its so cheap and easy 😂 or even better start a company and sell them 😅

[@DubElementMusic]

@@phelper4554 Oh man, what a standard comment with no logic:D

Price?

[@user-qq1rq2ih8j]

Great review. Was lusting on it but my Make noise modules get in the same territory if not beyond. Heafty price tag 😮

[@Symmetry77]

well played, good demo and good patches

[@Kittyspit562]

awesome video guys!

[@lucasthelemur7606]

i fucking love music

[@auctor11]

Oh my GOD! Thank you so much! It was amazing!!! Pretty please, explain how did you guys synced up your roli blocks with that beast!

[@1.2.3.4..5]

Very good review

[@brandonbanks32278]

What is the set up and app that he is using with his iPhone for the close up shots of the synth... that is very clear close up footage. great live capture.

[@pippalukin2365]

wow. stunning

[@burakeren]

But why is it in reverse order !!!

[@eckharteric]

Burak Eren because buchla

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

What is that cool touch controller with the LED lights model and version called? I so want one :-)

[@canoncigar]

Roll block

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I dig it!

[@txtfiles]

Very good overview , thanks! One question: Are the Roli Blocks connected via Computer/Ipad or direct USB Input? Can someone please explain how?

[@sonicstate]

I believe they are vie direct USB input.

[@quinnmeroll4615]

great demo! it has been alot of help honestly. I am on the fence on buying the roli light block and board block but am unsure if you need a computer to use them or not. are you using a computer or ipad?

[@ikona25]

Like 2% on iPad :) living on the edge

[@wimpire9]

What is this touch controller he's using ? I can't find anything on it :(

[@sonicstate]

ROLI Blocks

[@sentient8653]

So what did you find when you googled "world record juggling"

[@Pulse2AM]

My cats ears are pinned back, not sure if she likes it or not! LOL

[@chanhokim7750]

Hey! 84HP! perfect, I gotta rack mount this unit! :D

[@PKVarianceArts]

Looks lovely, and sounds great...can't imagine the $$...

[@SjN7HETIK]

'JUST' 2,300 euros... So they can keep it all. With about 100$ i'll buy ModularVST by Softube and have 10, 100, 1000 of this, just depending from your CPU...

[@coolo73]

Better yet Reaktor 6. it has all those west-coast style modules included. The Cloudlab ensemble with the ipad editor is about as close you're going to get to a Buchla experience without spending 2 grand.

[@xuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Christopher Davis all true. And i did using iPad version audulus. But I still want this baby monster 😂

[@nicholasroos3627]

I notice the miami has a real nice "smack" to the clap. Different from the original and pleasing in it's own regard.

[@MUNRO13]

This does look to be very good. However the colour scheme is particularly disagreeable for me.

[@stephenmandelbaum2027]

Mustard...

[@slipknotboy555]

MUNRO MUSIC It is unique, though, you gotta give it that. Synths/modules all having the same colors would be boring

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

see I think different and love it but not the price

[@richardharrow1946]

I didn’t know Ed Sheeran did synth reviews

[@72ndHUMAN]

G.A.S , Drool . Pardon me 🤓

[@illustriouschin]

2,300 euros. it doesn't sound that good. holy Fuck.

[@Synthematix]

haha ikr, so its this monstrosity or a kidney.

[@PKVarianceArts]

I want to love this comment.

[@ME-ru4hv]

haha yea a proper buchla clone in every respect

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

Sounds pretty damn good.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I think it is cool but WAY overpriced! I can buy BOTH a Phenol AND a Modulor 114 and still have $400 left over. Now if they cut the price to $1200 it might be worth the cost. But really only 2 oscillators and almost 3k? That is just insane. I mean a Serge is in the similar price range and that blows away this gear.

[@wesleyleigh4063]

If someone was to make a list of the most expensive unmusical music gear this would quite literally be number one. like you literally pay $2,500 for the privilege of plugging some cables in places and ending up with a harsh sounding drone that you will want to listen to never.

[@hypnoz123]

The gatekeeper of musicality has spoken. Pack it up everyone, modular is no more

[@uptildawnltd3253]

#notificationgang

[@GNeuman]

Sounds impressive but too expensive and I'd never wrap my head around, what I think is, an unnecessarily complex form of synthesis
