Sequencer MIDI Controller Torso Electronics S-4

The Torso Electronics S-4 is an innovative device that combines the functionality of a sequencer, sampler, granular processor, and next-generation cassette recorder. This device is designed for sound researchers who seek maximum freedom in creating textures, patterns, and compositions in real time. With four stereo tracks, each containing a chain of five sound processors, the S-4 opens up new approaches to building complex audio ecosystems.

The S-4 allows you to create, modulate, and transform sound with a cassette player with looping, a polyphonic sampler, real-time granular processing, a 48-filter morphing resonator, and a set of destructive effects. Reverb and pitch-shifting add spatiality and depth to any signal. The device can also be used as an effect processor or texture synthesizer, and its MIDI compatibility allows you to integrate it into any setup.

Each track is equipped with four independent modulators that can be assigned to any parameter, including cross-modulation. The choice of modulator types - from sophisticated LFOs to generative sequencers and envelopes - opens up endless automation options.

The aluminum body, 3.5-inch high-resolution display, 21 tactile RGB buttons and 9 encoders provide intuitive control and comfortable interaction. The S-4 has a built-in microphone, stereo input, USB-C, WiFi support, and can work as an audio interface.
