- 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

![My Favorite Uses of the Torso S-4 Sculpting Sampler [ Demo pt2 ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/anx1bRjvYq8/mqdefault.jpg)
Oh look, more than 20 seconds of video on the S4
Never thought I'd see the day.
Yes if this had been the pre launch video I might have actually ordered one, but in the meantime elektron got my money 🤣
Ooramusic has some great long form video demoing the S4.
Ritchie Hawtin casually in the background, looking at synths.
I know, right!!!
Hahahaha holy shit, how’d I miss that?!
Who ?
What a beast of sampler, kudos to Torso Electronics for such an incredible UI/UX, modulations look amazing and the device seems so immediat!
Bloody hell that’s mind blowing
Just a VST. You can do the same in any DAW for the quarter of the price and no waiting list.
@@olafsigursons I don't use either, and find this attractive rather than repulsive as I do DAW/VST workflows (both for my dayjob and funtimes)
Fantastic demo sounds great 😊
I have been thinking about a black box for a while but this seems more my style. I hope it can do experimental
One of those little gems. I miss it already. Was very intuitive to play around.
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
Great machine. The bit where he took the beat to a drone and back to the beat again was like instant Fourtet.
Wondering if it can do quantized live looping w/ overdubbing per track.
Yeah it can. It’s a big buggy at it atm but should be cleaned up in a FW update
I hope there’s Moyes going on in the granular section. Yikes! Work on that!
Very powerful, creative and fun. Clever stuff!
Overpriced VST.
does it offer live loopimg/sampling for DJ performances?
Oh, Hey Ritchie!
What about the Redshift 6?
A pretty impressive little box.
Just a fancy VST.
This one is good
such a clever approach, taking some of the best of things like Norns and the er-301 into a focussed workflow. And intuitive too. Well done Torso 🙌
Now there's a good demo of it's possibilities. Just a little bit more saving and I'll be able to put my order in.
Good luck with that, they sell them all to influencers, it will be discontinued before you can buy one.
@@olafsigursons We're on the same frequency here. I'll be putting in my pre-order this week at one of the stores :-)
Definitely buying one in the near future.
You won't. they give them all to influencers. It will be discontinued before you can get one.
Hope they fix the usb c issue.
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
woah, powerful machine..torso have always been one step ahead.
The encoders make this look like an Elektron box.
HOLY SHIT
This is what Polyend WISHES they were making
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.
I’m not a sample guy and never pay attention to samplers. But this device looks so cool. Amazing.
I can do all that on my iPad tbh
With what apps??
hmmm, the “granular” part doesn’t really seem like real granular synthesis. more like just sample slicing.
That's Super Sauce!!!... ( What an awesome product!!!... ) ~ Also at a fairly reasonable price considering...
...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.
@@yurijogurtsov8710 ouch
@@yurijogurtsov8710you’re kind to comment a comment and don’t post this upfront. Let’s hope they don’t keep shipping faulty and buggy units.
@@yurijogurtsov8710 somebody had to say it 🙏
😳
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.
👍
Nah
Meh
Useless marketing, you can't buy the machine until end of July, we will all have forgotten about it by then. I hate when stupid companies can't deliver. Well, they saved me money.
