Torso Electronics S-4: Creative, Performative Force of Machine

Special guest JayVe Montgomery (Nashville, TN-based woodwind-ist, experimental musician and effects artist) joins us today to dig into infamous and unrelenting box that is Torso S-4. This thing (while still seemingly in development to meet initial promised feature-set) is incomparable in what it can do: a 4-track sampler, multi-FX unit with MIDI, granular engine and incredible modulation control that can help take your sound wherever creative path leads you. It&killer box and will likely fit into your workflow one way or another, and likely in more ways than one. In this video, JayVe will share his process with Torso S-4 in creating lush, evolving soundscapes and afterwards we&demonstrate how we get idea out quick, alongside Elektron Digitakt II and Elektron Digitone II. Strap in for this one.
