"rare machine, made to store, read, and transfer midi data files. and also can play them back via it's midi output to other devices, or via it's own sound engine.

it's also made to work with general midi, and it has a general midi playback sound engine inside, which is fully configurable, tracks can be muted, instruments selected, etc. it even has audio effects per track.

nice for a journey into general midi research, and old video games soundtracking. or as a midi sequences orchestrating playback device.

it has floppy emulator installed instead of a floppy disk drive, which makes it way easier to operate, and midi files can be easily transferred from a computer.

comes with original box, original manual and original power supply.

made in Italy."

Pics of the inside below.

"Unfortunately, this unit was damaged in shipping. The power transformer has come unmounted from inside of the chassis, and while it was knocking around inside the synth it managed to damage two PCBs as well as the connector that ties it to the power PCB. We assume that several traces on both damaged PCBs have been broken. This was a great synth, and this could be a good project for anyone willing to dig into it. The synth was working perfectly before being shipped. At this juncture it's in poor working condition."

Torso S-4 | Pure inspiration (walkthrough)

video upload by Jay Hosking

22:43 - Making a pad
27:24 - Fourth track
28:56 - Performing with four tracks
31:14 - Concluding thoughts, USB multitrack out

I bought the Torso S-4 last month, thinking it would be an interesting device for playing with granular ideas with a few loops. As soon as I started playing with it, it was clear I had underestimated just how much more the S-4 is, and how inspiring it is. In fact, I basically never use it as a granular device!

This is probably the single most inspiring piece of hardware I've tried since I discovered the Octatrack. It transforms sounds, it is incredible for performing, and it has that perfect feedback loop between musician and instrument. In just a couple of weeks, I've recorded a whole album with it, which I'll release soon.

This is a walkthrough of how I'm making full songs on the S-4. In reality, four tracks is not quite enough for me to be making full songs, and in the final performances I add extra layers. But as a device to create new sounds, glue tracks together, sketch out a song arrangement, and perform some interesting parameter changes, the S-4 is nothing short of an epiphany for me.

Note that I'm using the 2.0 firmware beta, which is largely the same as the recently released 2.0 firmware. I'm well aware of the internet conversation on the previous firmware of the device, of hardware buttons not having any function and triggering a "coming soon" message, etc. I'm also aware of some quality/build concerns from some S-4 owners. I don't want to discredit any of those complaints, and I'm sure they are valid; but I can only tell you about my individual experience, which was largely flawless aside from a few bugs along the way.

Please also note that this isn't my usual sort of video, but rather one I originally recorded for my Patreon community. I'm having such a good time with the S-4, though, that I really wanted to share it more broadly. I hope you find it useful.

I look forward to sharing the album soon!
