What’s brilliant is that the folks at torso electronics actually added detents to all the endless encoders as well as usb-c at the back! As for the features, most have remained as shown in this video with some just being renamed. The cycles bit now works but tbh it takes a bit of mental gymnastics to understand how to use that feature properly. All in all, solid sequencer! It has churned out 4 scratch ideas in the last couple of hours of use!

Usb-c is there as well. When a manufacturer modifies its product after listening loopop, that s where you know this guy rocks… 😂😂 I think a solo function would be really cool to quickly isolate a track instead of muting all others.

Your demo illustrates exactly how important a screen is for a device like this. Your provided piano roll (and other images) added so much value! Who is going to remember the accent curves or phrases? For this price a screen is essential. The other problem is that the team should have started with a thorough step sequencer and THEN added in these generative features. Otherwise we really need two sequencers, which is annoying. A few random notes: At 9:36 you say "also supports triplet intervals." This is actually a big thing, since not all sequencers make this easy Voicing adds notes an octave above those entered... but there should also be an inverse mode that removes lower notes, so that actual invert chords could be achieved. Or maybe Harmony achieves the same?

Another incredible review! Thank you! This is a beautiful and wonderfully useful device...BUT at the price point (about $530US) I would expect a display so I can see my parameters in real time. If this were $50-$100 less I would be in on this first version for sure. But as is I will wait for the next version. This is exactly what I've been looking for though. I think this would complement the NDLR (which I own and have been using for six months now) rather than compete with it, especially if you are talent-less like me and need these little "engines" to grind stuff into the DAW and keep the overall workflow fun.

That said, you'll see "recurring stars" on my channel when I check out a sequencer or effect as I'm naturally inclined to use what I like (Sirin, 0-Coast, Peak to name just a few...) though those are often preferred because they're small and fit in the frame alongside other friends... wide angles are hard!

Cool, but not sure. The form factor is perfect to double as a midi controller alongside my Keystep Pro, however its very disappointing it can't even transmit CC. A button combo to turn Local off - would be great so you could transmit CC on a specific midi channel when needed. But, you know - since it's a seq afterall, and given that price, I think it should support a few lanes of CC motion sequencing and/or CC LFO types. And yeah - a trad step-seq would be good, it looks like it might be frustrating if you actually know what you want :)
