I also LOVE the T1 so much I bought two before it was released. Thank you for sharing your expertise, very generous of you, especially for a guy like me that has limited time to study the manual in depth (I'm a gallery Director). I will watch your in-depth video with great interest. If there's any other tutorials you can suggest, I would appreciate you let me know. Again many thanks!

T1 was my personal solution to tired XoX hardware sequencing (along with Elektron sequencer). Inspiration device. Something to take you out of the norm, and/or the repetition of your usual process. When fellow producers ask what it’s like, the only thought I have is a Michelangelo quote: “In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”. It’s a unique device. It will do as you command. It will also take you to new ideas you never considered. Sometimes it has you reverse engineering your ideas to make it come to fruition. It’s a refreshing take on music production ❤

Just picked one up and I'm looking for ways to integrate Maschine in place of the other boxes you have. I tend to use Maschine to get the ideas going. But would love to be able to use Torso for more control on the fly without programming sequences, but rather trigger pads on Maschine. Thanks a ton for the enthusiastic walk through. Love seeing people having fun with the tools they bring into their workflow.

I've been so tempted to get this sequencer, since the moment I discovered it. It's a thing of beauty. And if it's super easy to use, then that's great, as I'm new to the world of sequencing. I was looking at the OP-Z, but production quality issues (I've returned two so far, due to being faulty on arrival), and am now debating whether to buy a third one, in the hope of a good one, or to just go straight for the Torso T-1.

Hey, As a keyboardist interested in venturing into live electronic music, I currently own a Digitakt and a few Roland Boutique synths. I've come across many positive reviews of the Torso, and after seeing your review, I'm convinced it's a fantastic piece of equipment. However, considering my setup and the fact that I'm just starting out on this journey, do you think it would be a wise investment?

I always say: get the oxi first, the t1 later. Both have different workflows and strength, oxi being more versatile, T1 more inclined to amazing happy accidents.

The thing about generative music (for me) it’s not satisfying because the melodies are not “mine”, only the sounds are.

its a big topic. For example, if you play the piano, who made the sound? the piano maker? It is a definitely interesting conversation, which can sparkle many interesting ideas!
@mauriziomauricone8 ай бұрын
@@OoraMusic I think you reversed the argument: if you play the piano, the patterns and melodies are defined and spawned from our creativity, not the sound of the piano and or an random algorithm from a sequencer. I think both are okay but I prefer my ‘own’ melodies & my ‘own’ sound design (albeit inspired by other musicians).
