The S-4 Sculpting Sampler - Ofcial Manual
The S-4 is a sculpting sampler audio engine consists of 5 audio device
slots chained in series. Each device slot can be congured by loading
a device from the collection available and by setting and/or modulating
its parameters. Material is the rst device slot and the one which
manages the audio source whether using a sample within the Tape
device, a sample as a synth source in the Poly device or using the
audio line inputs with the Bypass. The next slot is called Granular, and
features Mosaic, a live granular processor with time-warping and
pitch-shifting algorithms. The Filter slot houses a Ring device with a
48-band, tuned lter bank with animation, tonal control and classic
lter functionality. The penultimate device slot is Color. A Deform
device with a collection of distortion based effects is available in this
slot. The nal device slot is Space, and its Vast device combines a
reverb and delay. Routing the audio and parameter conguration of
the audio chain is only a part of the sound design experience. Add
modulation to any device parameter and the creative journey really
opens up.
