Torso Electronics T1: A new approach to sequencing The T1 is an algorithmic sequencer for developing and evolving musical ideas. It gives you one place to shape rhythm, melody, and variation across Eurorack, hardware synths, and DAWs, with MIDI, CV, and gate keeping everything connected. Move quickly from an initial idea to something more developed, while keeping the process hands-on, flexible, and open to discovery. Sequencer: 16 parallel tracks with a flexible set of generative, algorithmic, and step-based sequencing tools: RHYTHM Generate Euclidean rhythms and reshape them with step editing, repeats, probability, and variation. Move freely between algorithmic patterns and precise manual control. MELODY Generate and develop melodic sequences using seven musical scales, one user scale per track, harmonic pitch control, and polyphonic sequencing. ARPEGGIATOR Create repeating and evolving note structures with an advanced note repeater and arpeggiator, from simple patterns to dense rhythmic movement. RANDOMIZATION Introduce controlled variation to any parameter, from subtle shifts to more unpredictable changes, and use random modulation to keep patterns moving over time. TRANSFORM Process incoming MIDI and reshape existing sequences in real time, using the T1 as both a sequencer and a generative transformation tool. AUTOMATION Shape per-step parameter changes across your setup, or use the encoders as dedicated MIDI CC controllers for hands-on control. SCALES & HARMONY Keep melodic ideas connected with musical scales and harmonic pitch control, making it easy to explore variation while maintaining relationships between tracks. POLYPHONY Sequence chords, layered notes, and polyphonic material on every track, across up to 16 MIDI channels. Features: 16 tracks per pattern: Each with independent sequencing, modulation, and MIDI control 16 MIDI channels: For sequencing multiple instruments from a single system Pattern exploration: Create variations, return to earlier states, and continue shaping ideas without committing too early Per-step automation: Add movement across your setup and control external parameters directly from the sequence MIDI CC control: Use the encoders as dedicated controllers for connected instruments and software Storage: Auto-save, 16 patterns per bank, and 16 banks Ableton Link: Keep the T1 synchronized with compatible devices and software over Wi-Fi User Interface: 18 endless rotary encoders with push 23 RGB backlit silicone keypads Connectivity: USB MIDI MIDI in / out / thru CV & gate I/O Ableton Link over Wi-Fi Physical: Matte black aluminum casing Dimensions: 304 x 114 x 39 mm (11.9” x 4.5” x 1.5”) Weight: 815g (1.8 lbs) I/O: USB-C Port: MIDI and power MIDI: TRS Type A in / out / thru CV & Gate: I/O Ableton Link: Wi-Fi Included in the box: 1 x T1 1 x USB cable 1 x MIDI adapter (Type A) Accessories: The T1 Carry Case is available hereThe T1 Cover is available here
