Torso Electronics S-4

Merging tape-era workflows with cutting-edge technology, the S-4 redefines sound mangling by providing a futuristic platform for crafting unique soundscapes and compositions,
integrating samples, and real-time audio processing.
S-4 is a tool made for sonic explorers. It has four parallel stereo tracks, each with an audio engine featuring a chain of audio devices including samplers, live granular processing, morphing resonators, and a range of audio effects. A novel modulation
system allows anything and everything to be modulated with 20 modulators per track. Additionally, the onboard microphone and stereo line input let you capture sounds on the fly, alongside four gigabytes of storage for an extensive sample library.
