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.
