Torso Electronics T-1 16-Track Algorithmic Desktop Sequencer - Manual (Page 5)

Torso T-1 is a 16 track, algorithmic sequencer
that brings a modern twist to hardware pattern
sequencing. T-1 is not in itself an instrument and
does not therefore generate any audio or sound.
This sequencer is different, forgoing layers of
menu diving through multiple screen pages in
favour of hands-on touch and feel. The user
interface is immediate with 23 control buttons
and 18 endless rotary / push knobs. Multiple
connectivity options make it an ideal device to
use centrally in a rig or as part of a wider setup.
Integrating
with desktop, modular, mobile or
software DAW systems is possible through a
variety of connectivity options. CV, Gate, WiFi
Link, MIDI over USB or direct are all available
onboard. The objective of this unique device is
to build beyond traditional step sequencing with
a focus on generative and evolving pattern
development. The tweaking and tuning of synth
parameters is a familiar process when designing
sounds or performing live with a synthesizer.
These same principles are applied with T-1
where sequencer parameters can be changed,
tweaked and adjusted real time. In summary,
the T-1 brings a more immersive, creative and
fun process to the fore. The tactile user
experience encourages on-the-fly ad-libs and
live
performance as well as general
composition. Expect a more organic and fluid
parameter driven approach to the creation of
patterns and arrangements. This book takes a
user perspective in getting the best from the T-1.
It offers a companion guide as well as a quick
reference. Read cover to cover or just step in
and out when needed. Learn and capture your
own knowledge by adding personal notes. The
Torso T-1 Notebook is a guide that helps you
grow towards your destination while having fun
on the journey.
