Getting started with the T1: Track types

video upload by torso electronics

"In this tutorial, we guide you through the three track types on the T1: Note, CC and FX. You’ll learn how to create note patterns, use CC tracks to control and automate parameters on instruments like the S4, and use FX tracks to process incoming MIDI.

Along the way, we’ll explore random modulation, slew, step edits, scales and Hold Mode, and see how combining track types can bring movement to your setup.

"In this tutorial, we guide you through the basic workflow on the S4, from powering on the device to saving your first project.

You’ll learn how to load a sample or record your own sound using the built-in microphone, adjust loop settings, and shape the sound with a filter and delay. Along the way, we’ll build a small musical idea and show how to save it so you can pick up where you left off.
