Four parallel stereo tracks, each running a five-stage signal chain – Material, Granular, Filter, Color, Space – cover everything from tape-style looping and polyphonic sample playback to dense granular textures and destructive processing. OS 2.0 added macro controls, scenes, varispeed recording, Disc playback, and envelope follower modulation, making the S4 a substantially more complete performance instrument than at launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IIYBZ4Jo-bE?si=66sEwp_wuTYCew4_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eGranular Engine and Signal Chain Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Granular module runs a 4-second audio buffer with up to 128 simultaneous grains, with independent control over size, distribution, contour, and pitch per grain. That's enough resolution to move from subtle pitch smearing to full spectral destruction within a single parameter sweep. Downstream sits a 48-band morphing resonator filter bank covering classic LP\/BP\/HP characteristics and animated tonal shifts, followed by the Color block – dual-band distortion, bit crusher, compressor, and noise generator – and Space, a stereo reverb\/delay with freeze and multiple delay algorithms. Each track runs four independent modulators: LFO, random, ADSR, and envelope follower, each assignable to any parameter with unlimited mapping destinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eLive Performance and Studio Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe PERFORM page maps any combination of parameters to 8 macro knobs and 4 punch-in FX buttons, enabling expressive, gestural control over the full processing chain on stage. Up to 128 Scenes store complete machine states – parameters and sample snapshots – recallable on-device or via MIDI Program Change. Temp mode saves the current state, allows drastic real-time changes, and snaps back instantly on release. Connectivity covers 6.3 mm line I\/O, 3.5 mm TRS MIDI in\/out, analog sync I\/O, USB-C class-compliant audio interface for macOS and Windows, and Wi-Fi with Ableton Link support for wireless integration with other instruments and iOS devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 parallel stereo tracks with 5-stage chain: Material – Granular – Filter – Color – Space\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGranular engine: 4-second buffer, up to 128 grains, with control over size, distribution, contour, and pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8-voice polyphonic sample player with MIDI control\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e48-band morphing resonator filter bank with classic LP\/BP\/HP models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 modulators per track: LFO, random, ADSR, envelope follower – unlimited mapping destinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePERFORM page: 8 macro knobs + 4 punch-in FX buttons for live control\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e128 scenes with full parameter and sample snapshots, MIDI Program Change support\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e24-bit \/ 48 kHz recording, overdub, varispeed, Disc long-form playback from internal storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWi-Fi + Ableton Link, USB-C class-compliant audio interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in microphone, line input, 3.5 mm headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTracks: 4 × stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecording resolution: 24-bit \/ 48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGranular buffer: 4 seconds, up to 128 grains\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSample player: 8 voices, MIDI-controlled\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal storage: 4 GB (approx. 300 MB factory samples included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalog inputs: 2 × 6.3 mm jack (line level)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalog outputs: 2 × 6.3 mm jack (line level)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone output: 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMIDI: IN\/OUT 3.5 mm TRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSync: analog IN\/OUT 3.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUSB-C: audio interface, file transfer, power\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWireless: Wi-Fi, Ableton Link\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDisplay: 3.5\" color LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eControls: 21 RGB buttons, 9 endless encoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 242 × 156 × 39 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 820 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEnclosure: matte black aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Torso Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48682562552145,"sku":"54065","price":816.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/s4_black_top_3000px.jpg?v=1761818852","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/torso-electronics-s4","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
