2. T-1 - performing is composing

"The T-1 is an instrument designed to be played in the here and now. Whether you are working in a studio or on stage, the path between musical inspiration and performance has never been shorter. Make relative parameter changes on one or multiple tracks simultaneously, save the changes or return to the starting point. With the T-1, your music-making process is a constantly evolving flow."

3. T-1 - not your average sequencer

"T-1 is a 16 track algorithmic sequencer at the center of your studio. The T-1 offers a generative workflow with focus on immediacy and playful exploration. Whether on stage or in the studio, the T-1 will inspire you with fresh ideas and help you push the boundaries of your music.

In short, this is a fundamental rethinking of the sequencer as a modern, fun, and inspiring instrument."

New Torso Hardware Sequencer by Torso Electronics

Published on Sep 10, 2018 torso electronics

via Torso Electronics

"Create percussive polyrhythmic sequences or explore endless melodic variations. T-1 is an algorithmic MIDI sequencer which offers vast set of creative composition tools

About T-1

We set out to design a machine that can go beyond the limitations of a traditional sequencer, while maintaining a simple and user-friendly interface with no menu diving.
Focusing on fluid live performance and the possibility to modulate every parameter with random sequences.
‍
The T-1 brings a completely new methodology for sequencing and many new avenues for musical inspiration and creativity.
With 16 polyphonic tracks, 16 rhythmic and melodic parameters, random modulation features, and live performance tools, the T-1 brings new inspiring content for your music making.

Main features

Euclidian rhythms
The core of T-1 is based on the euclidian algorithm, which lets you generate and explore a vast variety of rhythmic patterns

Play together
Wirelessly connect to other devices with our integration of Ableton Link. This will make sure that T-1 is playing in time with your DAW and all Link supported apps

Randomize
We have added pseudo-random modulation to every parameter, for creating endless musical variations. The randomness can be locked into loops, giving you more control
‍Keypad display
The multicolor keypads is used as a display showing parameter values and the state of the device

Torso T-1 Sequencer : How to Achieve Algo-rhythmic Patterns and More !

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Join our pal Brian on a short jaunt through the magical realms of the Torso T-1 !

This algorithmic sequencer is a great tool for generating playable, evolving tonal patterns, as well as Euclidian rhythms. In this short video Brian shows us a hybrid computer/hardware synth setup with the T-1—and its 16 simultaneous MIDI channels—at the heart of the composition.

Torso T-1 Performance Demo with Spitfire´s new GAIKA - War Island pack

video upload by Thoow

"While further exploring the possibilities of the Torso T-1 I received an email form Spitfire Audio with their latest release: GAIKA - War Island. A perfect start point for an easy setup. After quickly arranging different sounds of the pack across the 16 tracks in my T-1 template I was ready to put some triggers here and there. Hit record on the cams - and here we are. So easy and so much fun to create stuff with the T-1. I am just touching the surface here and use mostly mutes to change interest. But there are way more option with Cycles, randomization and probabilities...."

Sequential Prophet 5 Desktop, Torso Electronics T-1 & Empress Effects Echosystem

video upload by Nightlife Electronics

"Here we have some beautiful chord progressions and arpeggios being coaxed out of the Sequential Prophet 5 Desktop by the exquisite Torso Electronics T-1 Algorithmic Sequencer. Some lovely spacial delays have been added with the Empress Effects Echosystem.

The sound of the Prophet 5 is instantly recognizable; lush and woozy 1970's vibes, dreamy chords and sizzling leads. Finally available again with the same vintage sound but in a modern build!

The Torso T-1 takes the reins when it comes to arranging and sequencing complex, musically interesting chord progressions and rhythms. A new approach to sequencing that is based on sculpting a set of parameters more than tediously entering individual events and notes.

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."

Torso Electronics T 1 feature overview

Published on May 15, 2020 torso electronics

"T-1 is an expressive algorithmic MIDI sequencer that challenges traditional step sequencing, applying a more fluent way of creating musical structures.

By using a set of parameter driven algorithms with musical constraints, T-1 allows for dynamic hands-on control on every aspect of the composition, and lets you dive deep in musical exploration.

Out on Kickstarter soon"

First session with ZeKit from Fred's Lab. Sequenced by Torso T-1. FX by Fairfield Shallow Water.

video upload by Thoow

"This is an amazing little synths. And a very affordable one with only 209€ for the assembled version or only 139€ for the DIY kit. In this session I sequenced it with the Torso T-1 and used Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water for non cyclical vibrato, chorus, flanger-type effects with old tape flavours."

Torso T-1 Ambient Session

video upload by Thoow

"I had a lot of fun with the Torso T-1 the last days. Such an inspiring and different way to create music. It is more like observing the device creating music for you. But you still guide the direction. And then it can play its track for hours, always slightly changing and evolving. Like this piece.

Here I sequence a couple of different tracks within Ableton. Two voices play the Grand Piano Stretch, three tracks use instruments from the Modeselector pack and everything else is drums and percussions."
