Designed to capture and transform sounds, the Torso Electronics S-4 is a sculpting sampler that merges tape-era workflows with cutting-edge technology. The S-4 redefines sound mangling by providing a futuristic platform for crafting unique soundscapes and compositions, using samples and real-time audio processing. 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. Capture sounds on the fly with the onboard microphone and stereo line input or load samples from the 4GB internal flash storage..
