"So Dreadbox hired me to demo Telepathy Bundle: A very interesting polysynth, made up of 6 monosynth modules working together via MIDI. Each voice can be slightly (or VERY) different to one another...all fed into a unique mixer. For details on how Telepathy or setup works please RTFM - in this video I'll focus on making sounds!"

Together, the devices form a playful toolbox for sculpting sample material and live audio.

Material
Stereo tape and sample players with live audio and looping capabilities.

Granular
Live granular processing with time-warping and pitch-shifting algorithms.

Filter
Morphing resonator: 48-band tuned filter bank with animation, tonal control, and classic filter functions.

Color
Collection of destructive effects including bit crushing, drive, and compression.

Space
Combined reverb and delay with pitch-shifting and shimmer.

Build specific melodies with the T-1

video upload by torso electronics

"With T-1, it's easy to create specific melodies and chord progressions. Using step-edits over 64 steps provides ample opportunity to build longer musical progressions. The Cycles function allows you to create automations and transpositions of the musical patterns. Subsequently, it's really fun and easy to move the musical patterns on a macro level and explore different expressions.
Happy sequencing!"

TipTop Audio ART Octopus, ATX1 and Vortex, MI Ripples, Warp, Torso T-1 and Teenage Engineering TX-6

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"A simple sequence as an exercise to become familiar with the new TipTop ART modules.
The most immediate thing I can tell you is that pressing a simple button to easily have the 3 oscillators perfectly tuned was a great feeling.
The three voices (2 ATX1 ART Analog VCOs and 1 Vortex ART Wavetable VCO) are controlled by the Torso T-1 via Midi through the Octopus (USB/Midi to Art Interface+Voices Manager), Ripples as filter on all three voices and delay by the Warps (alternative firmware). Reverb and mono-to-stereo magic from the TX-6."
