Torso Electronics

Designed to capture and transform sounds, the Torso Electronics S4 is a stereo granular sampler and performance instrument designed for sonic architects, experimental producers, and live performers. With a hands-on interface, rich signal chain, and deep modulation system, the S4 invites you to sculpt, mangle, and reimagine sound in real time. Made for sonic explorers, the S-4 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. The powerful modulation system allows anything and everything to be modulated with four modulators per track.
