Torso T1 Algorithmic Sequencer

I had another very interesting session and demonstration of the T-1 last night where Jonas showed some insane sequences with it :smiley:

What I found astonishing was how this fast midi note modulation sequencing can be used to make a lot of very musical expressions ranging from all kinds of shifting rhythms and orchestral endings to bouncing balls and fast strums - just playing a single plucky sound with it. Really impressive and fun and something I’m looking much forward to be experimenting with using it with my hardware instruments.

I should have gotten in on the Kickstarter for this, looks amazingly flexible and inspiring. Currently waiting on a used version to show up on eBay.

1st batch is sold out…

Had to take a order, this thing has something I want. I bet it will be fun!!

Decided against the Oxi One Hardware Sequencer, sigh :cry: :laughing:

I too have ordered. Looks like it could really help when developing ideas. I also looked and considered the oxi, but thought this looked more suitable for getting inspiration. Really looking forward to hooking it up with bitwig and my DN.

This one doesn’t do traditional sequencing at all, right? You gotta take the dive here and accept that life and midi sequences are random, with more or less control, right?

Not right.

You can enter or subtract trigs manually as you’d like.

The key functionality is Euclidean pulses added or subtracted, but you can edit as you please.

Ah, thank you.

Tempting. The form factor invites.

Curious how it performs in live use

Here’s my first video with the T-1. It’s still very new so I only played some patterns and did a bit of knob turning. I’m sequencing just one sound from the EssenceFM with a long release and reverb. Some effects from Octatrack.

I really like this sequencer :heart_eyes:

I’m order number #256 so shouldn’t be long now :slight_smile: I’ll be paring it with my OT + Modular.

Still heartbroken I missed the early bird for this, it’s an amazing product.

Very nice! The title is quite apt! Looking forward to hearing more of what you can all achieve with this. I’m also very interested and was on the fence with the early bird.
