I am thrilled to finally show you the amazing Torso S-4, an instrument that is a dream come true for both sound designers and live performers. I have been involved into this project since months and while the firmware is still in beta, I believe it's mature enough to give you a walkthrough of it.
I will try to give you a good sense of what the S-4 can do and I will also build a patch from scratch at the end of this in-depth video!
Enjoy!

Thanks for this - it’s great to finally get a detailed overview of the S-4! It seems like it has some good possibilities, and Torso have demonstrated a positive track record of ongoing improvements with the T-1 (which I really enjoy). That said, between the vague information available last year and the limited initial product specs, I ended up pre-ordering a GR-MEGA instead, but perhaps this is one to keep an eye on when more features are (fully) implemented.

Had to watch the vid 4 times before I’d fully mapped the S-4 to a creative situation rather than just a feature-set (due to the amount of versatility) and then it just clicked...I get it.

Interestingly, we are getting more and more of these granular machines. GR-1 has already established itself as a success, and the new version is coming out soon (already in pre-order if I am not mistaken), and I just wonder how much it overlaps with S4. Also, it is interesting to see such a hype for hardware granular stuff, since we have so many good software solutions for this (Izotope Iris even, as spectral granular plus tons of other stuff). Tracker by Polyend also offers granular mode, albeit in a different way. In modular world, there is Clouds, Morphagene, Arbhar, Lubadh, and now even granular - based filter like Klavis Grainity. I wonder how much of the S4 is unique and does it warrant the price tag, since it seems to me GR - MEGA much brings more on board albeit for 1k quid heftier pricetag (don't get confused, on Tasty Chips site preorder for GR MEGA is about 600 quid, but that is just a part of it, full price is 1.8 k). It is, indeed, all about how the instrument inspires you and if you like the workflow, I might get this one just to emulate old Tascam 4-5 channel cassette recorder and fill in my nostalgia.

Where's the menu diving on Elektron boxes? You've got a physical button for every menu plus a double press for the second page, and then there's one individual encoder for every on screen parameter. Try navigating some Roland/Korg stuff, that's menu diving!

I bought a Tasty Chips GR1 and returned it because it did not work properly. I actually had to force them to take it back after they where not willing or able to take care of the problem. They even tried to talk me into selling it on to the next fool at a loss. On paper it still is a dream instrument to me but I have totally lost my faith in the company. It has also made me less trusting towards boutique type companies in general.

Torso have such great designers. And this would sit so nice next to a Digitakt/Digitone/Analog Heat mk.II. So aesthetically pleasing, gotta catch em' all. Try and get your mitts on a Tasty Chips granular processor too sometime, think it would really suit your style. They need some excellent demoes, and you could definitely knock that one out of the part.
@g3cd

Yeah, I was comparing the S-4 to the Tasty Chips GR-1 throughout the video. Problem with the GR-1 is that it doesn't have audio in, recording requires an external audio interface and is very awkward, it has only a single effect that requires deep menu diving, setting the volume for 4 tracks is way more complicated, MIDI implementation sucks and saving a project is virtually impossible as the save menu feels like Windows 95 and tends to loose 2 hours of work. BUT: The granularity of the GR-1 has a better visualizer, it has way more grains and sounds better - more grainy, less washed out - even without delay/reverb etc. Tasty Chips said they'd overworked some functions for their truck-sized new granular synth, so I hope they will burn the old Os after Superbooth and make the GR-1 user interface somewhat acceptable for the first time.

Thanks for the introduction! Does the S-4 polyphonic sample player support multisamples with velocity layers?

Looks unreal. Thanks for the video. What is the total recording time for any single recording? I'd love to use it to record like 20-30 mins of synth noodling, then affect, trim etc and resample into my OT.

Definitely on my radar, but will wait for the firmware to mature. Want to be able to change the order of the effects at minimum. Also, 4GB storage limit is a bummer. Wish they would have added a microSD for storage of recordings and larger sample libraries.

it will read samples from external hd and will have chance to change order in future firmware.

Such an amazing instrument and DSP platform. Might sell my whole Eurocrack system and replace it with this. I pray that Torso add Scala microtuning support at some point.

Hi. Any idea how load a long sample in? mine is cutting of the sample at about 2 minutes. I need longer. it says 6 minutes in the Q&A. Wish it was longer, shame they put a limit.

My God! This is truly something special, I have been wanting something like this for a long time and I’m primarily a guitar player. Well done you explain this very well. Question, how would one sample let’s say piano or violin from felt instruments VST? Is this possible?

@OoraMusic Ай бұрын
it has internal memory or 2 line ins so you can sample yourself!

My standard question but I’ve still not found something which can do this: Can the “tape head” scrub position be controlled per voice / note by poly AT / MIDI expression? The reason: I want to use the shifting harmonic content inside a sample as a source of expression.

yes you can do that!

@@OoraMusic Really? Just checking if you fully get what I mean: So I want to use granular more as a scalpel then an inspiring randomiser. For instance: In a pianosample I'd like the grain reprodcution to start somewhere in the softer sounding decay part when I press the key and then use aftertouch to move that position towards the earlier, brighter part, basically removing the primary need for a filter. Furthermore I want to do this individually per played note within a chord. Imagine a CS80 having a granular engine! 😀

ok definitely more of an advanced setup. I can see that would be possible once the midi implementation is completed, also this is a good idea to share with the developers! @@marcbrasse747

This is def a very interesting machine. If this would be open source and let others make unique scripts for it like on Monome Norns, it would be a hit, and make it more future proof and more versatile.

Hey Oora, thanks for the vid mate. 🙏 If you have some spare time I would like to ask you a few questions : -are tracks tied to scenes or whatever they call their "kits", like digis workflows ? I mean for live purpose, it would be great to be able to change track by track to a new scene for smooth transitions. -is it possible to use the timestretch according to a set length/bpm so if many tape tracks play at the same time we could have them play at the same kind of tempo ? Thanks for reading !

Hey! at the moment all tracks are tied to global tempo. The implementation of scenes is not there yet, so can't really tell you about that!

mine's in the first batch. I have so many questions, but the most important one is "where is it?" 😂 frustrated by the GR-1, loving the 1010 blackbox & the deluge here (three of the bb, two deluge), can't wait to see how this integrates... ok- multisample support? & the internal recorder- is it post-everything? is it stereo? how do you name files? is there support for file transfers via usb? is there a file size or quantity limit? folder structure? will do some googling, but those are the main ones. can't wait!
@OoraMusic
@OoraMusic Ай бұрын
No multisample att the moment ( might came later I feel), internal recorder is post everything or buffer recorder Pre everything ( still probably changing in the future forr the better),for now you name projects only, then it autonomies recordings and samples, file are tranferable easily with usb, no file size limit ( 4gb internal memory ), folder structure yes.
