Connected music-making platform Endlesss is launching Endlesss Studio, a MacOS app and VST / AU plugin which expands their award-winning lockdown-busting iOS app into the world of desktop digital audio workstations (DAWs) and hardware. The new MacOS app adds deep integration with all major DAWs such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio and more. VST and AU plugin versions, MIDI controller support and instant audio drag & drop to connect the rapid Endlesss workflow to the heart of the professional music creation environment. 

Endlesss Studio will be publicly available to purchase on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 4pm from Endlesss.fm

Endlesss is a powerful cloud-connected multi-track looper with a large collection of performance instruments and FX. It keeps music makers in fast-moving idea development to provide a lightning-fast creative flow. Since its launch in spring 2020, the Endlesss iOS app has been used by a long list of notable creators including Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Imogen Heap, electronica giants Underworld, Kevin Drew from indie-rockers Broken Social Scene and US comedian Hannibal Buress.

Endlesss Studio comes with a broad collection of performance-optimised instruments designed to inspire creativity straight out of the box. It also includes 23 creative performance FX with instant recursive re-sampling capability. Sculpting complex and dynamic sounds in Endlesss Studio takes seconds, a process which otherwise involves hours of detailed automation and expensive plugins.

Endlesss Studio integrates seamlessly with the iOS app to enable instant handoff of the track-building flow between mobile and desktop, allowing multiple collaborators to contribute live from anywhere in the world with an instrument or their voice, hardware or software, on smart-phone or in a high-end studio.

“Studio is Endlesss’s next step in building a home for creative musical culture where creators of every skill level can connect, learn and build communities around creativity,” explains Tim Exile, musician and Endlesss CEO and founder. “As the lines between artist and fan erode, Endlesss is building an ecosystem where anyone can forge their own creative path. Whether that path leads to a tight-knit community of like-minded friends or rising to the top of the Billboard charts, Endlesss aims to put purpose and culture at the heart of music-making.”

Development of Endlesss Studio was funded by backers of their Kickstarter campaign which ran during the month of June this year. Endlesss raised £141k, becoming the 7th most-funded software campaign in the history of Kickstarter. The launch of Endlesss Studio comes months ahead of the timeline promised to their backer community, marking it as one of the few Kickstarter projects to be delivered ahead of schedule.

Endless Studio is available from today until 31st March 2021 at $99 / €99 / £79, a 50% introductory discount of the usual price of $199 / €199 / £159. A Windows version is under development and will be available in summer 2021. 

About Endlesss
Endlesss was founded in 2017 by musician and technologist Tim Exile. Tim’s musical journey began at age 4 learning the violin. As he progressed into electronic music production, he missed the performative nature of playing the violin. He moved on from his successful career as a recording artist to develop tools which brought a performative approach to electronic music creation. Before founding Endlesss, Tim created a number of influential VST plugin products such as The Mouth in partnership with Native Instruments and SLOO (Shed Loads Of Oscillators) under his own brand

On December 16, 2020 (4pm GMT), the collaborative music-making platform Endlesss will publicly debut its next-level desktop app and plug-in, Endlesss Studio. The new application builds on their hit music-making app for iOS, integrating seamlessly with digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live and Logic Pro to bring the award-winning Endlesss music creation workflow to the heart of professional studios. 

“Endlesss is an instrument designed not for perfection but to keep you in a forward motion of creativity. It reframes music as an activity we do together rather than a product we consume alone” said Tim Exile, founder and CEO of Endlesss.

Endlesss launched their iOS app in the middle of the first lockdown in March 2020, attracting critical press acclaim from music and tech media (Pitchfork, Techcrunch, Engadget among them). It won over a host of celebrity early-adopters including US comedian Hannibal Buress, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Imogen Heap, indie-rockers Broken Social Scene, and electronica legends Underworld.

“The Endlesss team is aiming to bring an even more ambitious version to desktop Macs and Windows machines, including VST/AU compatibility for integration with your favourite DAW. Dubbed Endlesss Studio, the idea is to retain the accessibility and sense of play that the iOS app delivers, but couple it with a more involved studio setup so the music-making possibilities really are endless.” --Steve O’Hear, Techcrunch

At the heart of the Endlesss philosophy is founder Tim Exile’s vision to bring back music-making as a shared activity that deepens connection with our fellow humans: “Before Edison recorded sound, music was an activity we came together to do rather than a product we consume alone,” Exile explained. “We believe everyone is on a musical journey - even those who only listen - a journey which helps us find belonging and meaning. Endlesss is here to connect, deepen and amplify those journeys.”

Tim’s journey started with picking up the violin as a child before falling in love with the sounds of the early rave scene as a teenager. He learned to DJ and produce and went on to forge a successful career as an electronic music artist. After world tours and critically-acclaimed albums on record labels such as Warp and Planet Mu, Tim realised he missed the very thing that got him into making music in the first place: performing and spontaneously improvising. 

Fed-up with the perfectionistic world he found himself in, Tim abandoned his recording career, taught himself to code and began developing tools to bring playful communicative spontaneity to electronic music creation. He started by building an electronic improvisation instrument, ‘The Flow Machine’ and toured every continent with it, performing live with musicians such as Nitin Sawnhee, Nile Rogers, Imogen Heap and Beardyman. 

After realising that “the person having the most fun in the room was often me,” Tim decided to pivot from building an artistic career around his Flow Machine performances to making the Flow Machine available to everyone.

This spontaneous expression and performer-fan interchange is what makes Endlesss different from the other music collaboration apps out there. At its core, Endlesss is an electronic instrument: You can tap out a beat on a lightning-fast interface using single notes, drum beats, bass riffs, and more. On top of that, Endlesss is a cloud-connected social space with a full history of your riffs and beats collected together and accessible for you to archive or for everyone to hear. And beyond that, Endlesss is also a live music collaboration world; a virtual creative space for artists, fans, audio engineers, DJs, and music lovers of every stripe and experience level to share and participate in music creation together — much like a back and forth WhatsApp convo, but with music instead of words. 

Already being used by some of the top names in EDM, Endlesss is looking to change the way audiences and performers experience and create music online. “The simple concept behind Endlesss is that it’s about doing music instead of composing, mastering, mixing, and distributing it in a perfectionistic process,” said Exile.   

“It’s got an intuitive layout that makes it feel as much like a game as an audio workstation, making it easy for users with little to no musical training to jump right in.”--Noah Yoo, Pitchfork

Endlesss Studio is available from its release day until 31st March 2021 at $99 / €89 / £79, a 50% introductory discount of the usual price of $199 / €179 / £159. A Windows version is under development and will be available in summer 2021.
