My impressions so far (eight hours in, that is...): this device has a lot to offer, and is really designed as an instrument, with more than just basic EDM beats in mind. The possibilities seem really vast, from granular polyphonic synth, to beat mangler and effect processor, to tape looper, to four-track mixer, to USB audio interfave (10 in, 10 out, it does work). More later; I hope you'll enjoy this for now :)
Recorded with the Zoom R4 multitrack recorder (shown in video). Lightly mixed and mastered in ProTools.

Best/clearest S4 demo I have seen so far!
-
SWEET JESUS this machine is absolutely CRAZY...its going to be a fine addition to my Elektron Digitone...a dream ambient setup
-
Absolutely sublime! Really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these!
-
Reeeeally cool, can't wait to get mine (2nd batcher) I particularly enjoyed the start point modulation of tbe drum loop, so cool and usable! I took the liberty to share the video within the Torso discord channel
-
Great ambient machine, nice work! Greetings 🖖👽
-
sat here with s4 #11 & a yamaha reface cp, & all my other gear switched off. three hours have gone by. this machine is what I've been waiting for. all the things I wished that the electrix repeater could do, + the microcosm, + the bastl thyme, + a bunch of other things. can't wait for the next fw with midi-sync & so forth. this thing's brilliant.

Beautiful
-
Definitely on my wishlist
-
already the first 3 minutes are so gooood
-
This is just stunning! Please make another like this from nothing again. I think it would go well with my Digitone and Novation Peak.
-
What a wild gadget
-
please do share more experiments with this device, it is most intruiging. I don't know whether to get this or the Digitakt 2.
-
Interesting demo. (Exported a bit too much of your timeline, the extra noise at the end, 17:04 😂, reminds me of the hidden tracks on cd's. I thought the video was just done, and started looking for the source 😅
-
Lovely! Does the file browser allow you to preview WAVs or do you have to load the WAV first?
-
Sounds great! Is this the natural sound from the torso? Or you processed the audio with effects or panning? 🤙
-
nice! are you powering s-4 from powerbank?
-
Hey, what's the polyphony count for playing the tracks via midi? can they respond to velocity or anything like that?
-
So what exactly is this magic that happens at 1:50? This is brilliant and very organic! How do you like Torso so far?
-
Outstanding. I'm curious, does it easily pitch sounds down? I would assume so
-
how does recording external audio input work for live sampling/ looping?
