When I really watched some videos on the Torso T1 I was sold pretty quick. It has such a well thought out workflow, and the workflow is super quick. The amount of buttons and knobs it has is deceiving in regards to its functionality, and speed. I see it kind of like a meal at a prestigious restaurant. It may have less ingredients, but thats only due to the fact that the chef has spent their life working towards perfecting an idea using the least ingredients as possible as not to overwhelm the guest but to exceed their expectations.

@partsproject
3 ай бұрын
Ah yes midi. In this case we've got T-1 going to DT, then THRU to Minilogue, so its sequencing both. Since minilogue has no THRU, T-1's second midi out is clocking the Blackbox, and also sequencing some of it's tracks. The launch control XL is just plugged directly into the blackbox via it's dedicated usb 2.0 input.

Yes it's funny how something so useful is so uncommon. I have a kenton midi host for simple usb-5pin midi conversion, and for more complex situations I have the retrokits RK006 which has 2 midi in, and 10 midi out. It uses mini jacks but still an amazing solution to so many midi needs, and it's tiny.

I mean, grab a Roland Gaia, make a drone patch and twist knobs as you record for as long as you want it to be. Add a few layers if you want and key changes, you can do it with almost anything, definitely don’t need all the gear you showed in your thumbnail, though I’m sure your sponsors appreciate it. #endgas

It’s the difference between performing with something that gives you what you want / need vs being super limited by doing it all in one unit. Limits are great for creativity but again when you’re getting into live stuff it’s pretty fun to “build an instrument” with several units. There are no wrong answers! Also, the sponsor of this video has nothing to do with gear #lol
@CalebMichaelRiley

Looks it’s not your fault your videos cause G.A.S. I just want to buy everything anyways lol, also I understand and mostly agree with what you are saying. Mostly you should use what ever you want or have to make what ever you want with only the limitations you want, it’s your art/music. I use various equipment types myself to produce a variety of music, I guess my only point is you don’t have to necessarily. Also I am usually more impressed by artist that have less to work with, those limits force creativity.

If the only things playing on the grid are the drums, with the rest being ambient and off the grid, is it still ambient? I tend to like the contrast of sliding ambient music around a straight beat. For me it still holds the ambient flavour. Like another part of life in the real world. Sometimes there is structure, sometimes there isn't.
