Endorphin.es Plus 3 Midnight Blue is the desktop pedal that redefines the concept of expressive control for those who work with MIDI controllers, synthesizers, effects pedals, and Eurorack systems. Designed for musicians who prefer compact desktop control over traditional floor pedals, the Plus 3 connects directly to the sustain and expression jacks on your instruments, unlocking features that are often otherwise inaccessible.

Completely passive and requiring no power, the Plus 3 combines simple construction with reliability: its aluminum body ensures lightness and durability, making it ideal for both studio and live use.

Sustain and Drone Modes: Total Control Over Your Performances

The sustain side of the Plus 3 features a momentary button for instruments lacking a dedicated sustain control—a situation more common than you might think. The innovative drone/hold switch transforms the button into an indefinite note-hold control, allowing you to free your hands while playing and replace drone notes with new ones on the fly.

Compatibility with DAWs, synths, and effects pedals

Thanks to the sustain jack, the Plus 3 allows for momentary or toggle control of any mappable parameter in your synth’s modulation matrix, your DAW’s menu, or your effects pedal: sustain, freeze effects, dry/wet bypass, preset switching, and much more.

Expression fader: from MIDI controller to effects pedal

The built-in fader makes the Plus 3 particularly useful for adding physical expressive control to MIDI controllers that lack a fader but feature an expression jack, such as the Native Instruments Kontrol MK3, M32, or Korg KeyStage. The fader provides direct and expressive access to any single mappable parameter in your DAW, synth, or effects pedal in ways that can’t be replicated with a standard keyboard—from violin bowing to an orchestral swell, right down to fine-tuning the level in the mix.

Macro control on compatible effects pedals

On DAWs, synths with modulation matrices, or effects pedals with expression jack mapping—many Chase Bliss and Boss models, EHX, as well as Endorphin.es GHOST and GOLDEN MASTER pedals—the Plus 3’s fader becomes a true macro control, capable of varying multiple parameters simultaneously, in a manner similar to preset morphing.

Handcrafted construction and customization: the interchangeable sustain switch

The Plus 3’s sustain switch is based on the standard for mechanical keyboard switches, allowing you to replace it with the switch of your choice to customize the feel and touch response, making the pedal truly your own.
