    I love my T-1 ❤ and keep finding new way of using it.
    Thanks for the video. There’s lots of tips I hadn’t tried before. Looking forward to giving them a go!

    Best Torso Video for me, Thank you so much! Would be nice if you might do another one with a deeper dive in some things like random function. How to add different randoms to different functions and ho to make randoms looped into maybe 8 steps.

    • @pau.vilella
      @pau.vilella 11 місяців тому +2

      Agreed. Also how rate & cycles interact with random (per function) and how this can be used creatively.

    Yes!! Visualizing the midi is so helpful for the voicing/range stuff especially. One other fun thing you can do is hold Pattern and change some parameters, and it will affect all tracks in the pattern - great for midi looping stuff, or a key shift etc. Such a fun sequencer. Great walkthrough mate!

    Just the best T1 tuto around. Seriously mate, thank you x10000 for this, this is priceless ! ❤ it answered to questions that I was wondering for ages about it like how to modify the pitch of one note only ! Believe it or not I didn’t manage to find the answer before your video. You deserve a mountain of kudos for this awesome and so clear work, really 🙏
    14:20 - I think the entire planet was wondering how do to that.

    I just got the T1a few days ago, and this video took me from zero to around 60% confidence in using it. Thank you.
    I love the little sighs of surprise/delight as the T1 does something surprising. I've felt that a few times in the short time I've been using this device. I can already tell it's going to be a long friendship with this little box of magic.

    Hey man, this is such a great video!!! Big thanks for that. I don't understand why it is so low on youtube search results. It's honestly the best, most detailed and well explained in a musical context. Your effort is much appreciated, especially knowing how much excited you can get with new gear and go crazy exploring possibilities. Which I LOVE INDEED!!! But you gave your best man explaining this device. Everyone else is just showing off different devices driven by it and showing how easy is to get nice results just by tweaking the knobs. You explain so well the core concept and each knob functionality, hierarchy and level of dialing values. HUGE THANKS!!!!

    I've never known a sequencer to do what I couldn't write within a few minutes, but the T1 used with delays, or something like the Microcosm, could potentially stand in as a second musician. Quickly changing chord progs on it, while I'm playing something else (melody), is literally like having another musician there. Bad ass!

    Great coverage of this. I got the T-1 a few days back to integrate with things like my Arbhar. Currently got it working with my Maschine MK3 and Ableton over sync.
    The challenge I'm trying to work out now, is I can get 1 bank / set of patterns to map the 16 drumpads to the T1 (over 16 channels), but the moment I switch to a different group, it fires off on both groups simultaneously. Once I've worked that out, it's going to be a match made in heaven.

  • @sgsrules
    @sgsrules 5 місяців тому +1

    I'm asking here because:
    a)None of the other tutorials (including torsos) seem to cover random very well.
    b)Your tutorials are brilliant.
    c)I love your voice.
    Let's say that randomization applies a random "envelope" to stuff. At what level is this random envelope used? Is it the same random envelope for all tracks, all parameters but unique to that track, or is it unique for each parameter? When i change the randomness either by turning the random knob or hitting clear random does this create a new random for all tracks, all parameters, or is it unique for each parameter?

      Just a case of setting up channels on Bitwig to respond on different MIDI channels, manual will tell how to do that. Then it’s a case of getting T1 to send to the various MIDI channels you want (and it’s mapped from channel 1-16 by default)

    Yo. I've got a vermona drm1 MK4 that I'm having problems with when it comes to connecting it to the torso T1. Apparently each voice(there's 8) has a note value(kick C1, drum1 A1, drum 2 D1 etc).
    How do I find the relative notes on the T1? I think I need to do this when the drm1 is in learning mode. I've tried to do it without assigning notes but each time I go to set the pulses the drum voice plays for 1 pulse then that's it.
    Getting a bit frustrated 😢.
