STARS CAN'T SHINE WITHOUT THE DARKNESS

CABIN PRESSURE EFFECT PROCESSOR

 hosts 16 effects organiszed in two banks of 8.

The first effect bank is known as ‘AIRWAYS' and contains effects tailored for tonal content. It recreates different ambient spac-
es. The effects are approximately arranged by size – going from bigger spaces (like halls) to smaller ones finishing with delays 
and chorus
The second bank 'DARKWAVES' contains 8 effects suitable for percussive sounds and serves a variety of different flavours.
See https://airways.endorphin.es for more details and latest updates.

SPECIFIC FOR GRAND TERMINAL/MILKY WAY

The current effect type chosen is shown at the row of LEDs by shortly blinking of the LED. Only one 
effect may be chosen at a time. The 8 LEDs of Grand Terminal correspond to the 8 effect preset cells.  
Milky Way uses 4 LEDs that shine either half or fully lit to indicate the chosen effect. 

SPECIFIC FOR BLCK_NOIR

IMPORTANT: 

holding the 

TYPE

 button for longer than  

1 second will enable effects on all drum voices no 
matter if they were enabled or disabled from the ef-
fect. Another long hold press will revert the effect 
only to those drums that have their switches enabled.

The effect type is selected by pressing the 

TYPE

 but-

ton in the CABIN PRESSURE area on the upper right 
corner of the module. The effects are cycled one by 
one (from 1st to 8th and then back to 1st and so on). 
When powering the module as well as when select-
ing an effect the 

'HAL9000'

 LED blinks certain times 

(1-4) in green or red, identifying the effect currently 
selected. If the first effect is selected, then it blinks 

green •

 once. Second effect: 

green ••

 twice. Third ef-

fect: 

green •••

 trice and four times 

green ••••

 for effect #4. 

At effect #5 it blinks 

red •

 when effect #8 

is chosen.

Cabin pressure adjusts the dry (fully CCW) and wet (fully CW)

level or the effect applied to the drum voices where effect

switches were enabled (toggled to the right)

CV input range: -5...+5V (bipolar!) and Cabin pressure knob
works as attenuator when CV in applied
Long hold TYPE button enables effects on all drums (incl. AUX IN),
no matter if the drums were enabled to effect or not. Second long
hold disables that feature
We choose the effect type by short pressing TYPE button.
Effects are cycled from 1 to 8 and then return back to 1 and so on
