Torso Electronics T-1 - Analog Connectivity

As already stated, T-1 is a sequencer which
relies on it’s connected devices to develop
evolving and generative musical productions.
MIDI is a common protocol for connecting
desktop devices. For modular systems and
classic equipment analog connectivity
solutions are needed. The most common
modular format is Eurorack which uses control
voltages, triggers and analog clocks. T-1 has
the ability to connect to analog gear and a
variety of conguration options ensure most
applications can be covered. Analog signals
are patched using single cables for each
function, typically with a 3.5mm mini jack
format. T-1 has analog connectivity built in and
accessed using 3.5mm mini jack inputs and
outputs for gates, control voltages,
synchronisation of clock and reset. An
individual control voltage input is also available
to access several T-1 internal functions. The
application of analog connectivity expands T-1
greatly with the ability to connect to various
devices It can control modular systems where
synth voices or effects in a Eurorack system are
controlled and sequenced. It can control desktop
classic analog synthesizers. Setting the correct
conguration and understanding the other
devices in the setup is important. It is normal
practice to have devices connected while
composing patterns. There are some default
congurations that help to get started and are
good foundations to adjust settings. The
conguration is changed using the T-1 cong tool
and remember that CV and Gates are linked to
the assigned MIDI channel in T-1. As with MIDI
connected devices, getting the right sound by
adjusting the synth parameters, settings and
sound is a prerequisite but these adjustments
are also part of the ongoing sound design
process.
