At Superbooth 2024, Sonic State caught up with Mathias from Torso Electronics to showcase their newest product, the S4 Sculpting Sampler
According to Mathias, the S4 is a versatile device that can function as a tape player, polyphonic sampler, and real-time effects processor. With features like a granular device, 48-band filter bank, modulation system, and more, the S4 offers a range of creative possibilities for musicians and producers alike.
The S4's ability to transform sounds in advanced and musical ways was evident in the demo, where Mathias showcased its granular device, filter device, modulation system, and live effects processing capabilities. With eight notes of polyphony per track, the S4 is now available for purchase on their website and through select retailers worldwide.
S4 Sculpting Sampler Price: 899 Euros

Oh look, more than 20 seconds of video on the S4

Yes if this had been the pre launch video I might have actually ordered one, but in the meantime elektron got my money 🤣

Just a VST. You can do the same in any DAW for the quarter of the price and no waiting list.

wow i was skeptical at first but there's some pretty creative/unique multi-effects stuff

I like doing the live granular stuff with my Lemondrop. the multi filter thing is wild though

@kgbinfo Ай бұрын

hmmm, the “granular” part doesn’t really seem like real granular synthesis. more like just sample slicing.

I have been thinking about a black box for a while but this seems more my style. I hope it can do experimental

Yeah it can. It’s a big buggy at it atm but should be cleaned up in a FW update

It's a very cool machine but I find the eight dials feel too cheap for the price. they are not wobbly but move too easily, especially in conjunction with the, sometimes, tiny display of some parameters.

@qo0n. Ай бұрын

i love it, glad to have had the chance to try it. fits perfectly in the gap i feel the need to close, but i hope for the encoders to have a more solid feel in the final product.

Probably the best device came out in 2020's so far. Hopefully we will see longer videos like this on their channel too

Badass interface. Am I right to guess it is very Polyend-inspired? Damn, do I love the original Polyend Tracker, absolutely fantastic sampler, but a sampling workflow isn't for me.

@yurijogurtsov8710 Ай бұрын

...considering you pay to enrol in beta-testing program? midi sync not working, usb problems, as many as 4 buttons (or rather their functions) are 'coming soon'. they rushed preorders before any demo was out, and now half a year later they ship half-baked instrument. I can hardly remember a similar case, even with boutique companies. also, the granular engine is very basic, just like the FX. on a positive side, the filter is nice, and modulation system is great. does this justify the Torso way of running the show or the price? I think not (curious and sad how Torso NEVER mentions the real state of the device). but when they get all functions working, add a more controllable/repeatable sequencing method (the not working 'perf' button may do half the trick), maybe more FX - then it becomes more palatable. but it is as it is now. and bizarrely, a company with just 1 product in its history asking you to pay the Digitakt (or Tempera, or GR-1) kind of money for beta testing.
