Meet the Endorphin.es Evil Pet: The Ultimate Creative Sound Box
Get ready to meet your new favorite studio companion. Endorphin.es has just unveiled the Evil Pet, and it’s not just another synthesizer. Packed into a vibrant, glossy pink enclosure with satisfying tactile mechanical keys, this “creative box” is designed for endless sonic exploration.
The Evil Pet is a powerful 8-voice polyphonic granular processor that can be a synthesizer, a multi-effects unit, a sampler, a reel-to-reel recorder, and even an FM radio.
At its heart, the Evil Pet bites incoming audio—whether from its line inputs, the built-in microphone, the FM tuner, or a microSD card—and shreds it into tiny “grains.” From there, you can stretch, shrink, pitch, and layer these grains to create everything from dreamy, swirling soundscapes to glitchy, complex rhythms. It works on any source, turning guitars, vocals, or drums into something entirely new.
Special Reminder!
Don’t forget to watch the Synth Geekery Show on Saturday, 8-Nov-2025 at 1PM UTC. We will be discussing the new Evil Pet product live!
Key Features
The Evil Pet is packed with features for hands-on sound design:
- 8-Voice Polyphonic Granular Engine: Play grains polyphonically via a MIDI or MPE keyboard for expressive performances.
- Multiple Audio Sources: Feed the engine with stereo line inputs, the built-in microphone, the onboard FM radio tuner, or samples from the microSD card.
- Tactile Interface: A 2.42″ monochrome OLED display and tactile mechanical keys make tweaking sounds intuitive and fun.
- Onboard Modulation: Features a full ADSR envelope, three LFOs, and an envelope follower to bring your sounds to life.
- Built-in Effects: Shape your sound with a multimode resonant filter and a multi-FX processor, including a saturator (with distortion, bit-crushing), various reverb types (plate, reverse, room) with shimmer, chorus, and flanger.
- Inspiration Button: A “Random” button instantly generates new parameter settings (except for mix and volume) for happy accidents.
- Flexible Connectivity: Includes stereo 1/4″ inputs and outputs, a 3.5mm headphone jack, full-size DIN-5 MIDI In/Out, and an expression pedal input.
- Ready to Go: Comes complete with a universal power adapter (with US, EU, UK, and AU plugs) and an antenna for the FM radio.
