INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing T-1.

T-1 is an algorithmic sequencer designed to go beyond the limitations of traditional step sequencing. T-1 applies a uent and non-linear way of

creating musical structures and invites the user to musical exploration.

With T-1 comes immediate and expressive hands-on control that lets you change the rhythmic patterns, alter the melodic movements, and

add random modulation with a twist of a knob.

conventions used in this manual

We have used the following conventions throughout the manual:

• Button names are written in uppercase, bold style, and bracketed letters.

For instance, the button labeled “Mute” is called [ MUTE ]

• Knob names are written in uppercase, bold letters, and parentheses.

For example, the knob labeled “Pulses” is called( PULSES )

• The different sections of the unit are written in uppercase letters, bold style.

For example, the section labeled “Shape” is called the SHAPE section.

• Light indications on the multicolored buttons are written in uppercase, bold letters, and with the appropriate

color.For example, ORANGE or [ VALUE ]

The following symbols are used throughout the manual:

FIRST STEPS WITH T-1

getting started

Power up by connecting the T-1 to a computer with the supplied USB C cable or connecting it to a standard USB power supply.

T-1 powers up straight away and is ready to use.

Start by simply using the T-1 with your computer or connect it to your hardware instruments by using the MIDI and CV ports on the back

panel. Use the included TRS to DIN adapter to connect to external MIDI devices with the classic 5-pin DIN port.

Be sure to visit: www.torsoelectronics.com/resources for the video tutorials, guides, and other downloads.

setting up T-1

With the T-1 Cong software, you can make various MIDI and CV/Gate settings.

The T-1 can also connect to your WIFI and synchronize with your computer, smartphone, and other devices via Ableton Link.

To do so, visit: www.torsoelectronics.com/resources and download the T-1 Cong software.

structure of T-1

The table below outlines the data hierarchy of the T-1.

A project hosts 16 [ BANKS ]. For each bank, 16 [ PATTERNS ] are available, meaning 256 patterns are always at hand. A pattern consists

of 16 tracks with up to 16 cycles (parameter automations) per track. The sequencer engine (second table) consist of different algorithms to

control gate/triggers, pitches and velocities that let’s generate different musical structures. There’s a RANDOM modulation sequence for each

of the primary parameters.

PANEL LAYOUT AND REAR CONNECTIONS

panel layout

1[ VALUE ] buttons represent 16 tracks. In combination with [ PATTERN ] and [ BANK ], they represent patterns and banks.

The [ VALUE ] buttons also work as a display showing parameter values when a knob is pressed.

2SHAPE section offers a variety of knobs for shaping the composition.The rst row of knobs lets you build multiple Euclidean cycles that

play one after another. The second row adds “echo” notes to the Euclidean pulses, adjust chord voicings, and apply melodic movements.

3GROOVE section offers four knobs to adjust the behavior of the timing, groove, and “feel” of the composition.

4TONAL section offers knobs for adjusting the pitch and set the musical scale.

5SETUP section offers MIDI, CV/Gate settings, and track length + pattern quantize settings.

6( RANDOM ) knob makes random modulations to every parameter on the unit.

7[ CTRL ] access secondary functions to some of the knobs and buttons. The secondary functions are written in grey on the front panel.

8[ CLEAR ] button is for clearing tracks, patterns, and parameters. The secondary function is the [ COPY ] operation.

9[ PATTERN ] button plays the selected pattern. The secondary function lets you [ SELECT ] a pattern without playing it.

10 [ BANK ] button selects a bank. The secondary function lets you [ SAVE ] the state of the [ BANK ].

The [ BANK ] button also works as a ‘home’ button that leads you to the default mode.

11 [ MUTE ] button is used for muting or un-muting the 16 different [ VALUE ] in the pattern.

12 [ TEMP ] button is used for making temporary changes to the pattern.

13 [ PLAY / STOP ] button starts and stops the playback of the unit.

value buttons

The 16 [ VALUE ] buttons have multiple purposes. By default, the [ VALUE ] buttons are for selecting the active track.

The active track indicates which track you are making changes on.

When pressing and holding [ MUTE ], the [ VALUE ] buttons will let you mute or unmute the 16 tracks in the pattern.

When pressing and holding [ PATTERN ], the [ VALUE ] buttons represent 16 patterns.

When pressing and holding [ BANK ], the [ VALUE ] buttons represent 16 banks.

knobs

Every knob holds a function for shaping the composition of the active track. The tempo knob is bound to the active bank.

When a knob is pressed, the 16 [ VALUE ] buttons will show the value of the current parameter, which can be edited by turning the

knob or by pressing the buttons.

All ( KNOBS ) can be double-tapped for keeping the parameter menu visible on the [ VALUE ] buttons.

home button

Apart from selecting the current bank, the [ BANK ] button also works as a home button. Pressing [ BANK ] leads you to the default

mode (track overview).

This is a fast way to exit any parameter menu and return to the default track overview.
