Der Torso S-4 hat das 2.0 Update erhalten:

S-4 OS v2.0​

June 17 2025

Features​

• PERFORM: Global macros and punch-in effects for expressive, hands-on control. Map any parameters across the four tracks of the S-4 to the eight slider macros (supports unipolar and bipolar modes) or use the four action buttons as punch-in effects.
• SCENE: Save and trigger up to 128 snapshots of full machine states per project. Use CHANCE and RULE to trigger chained scenes in sequence or randomly. Supports Program Change for easy external control.
• TEMP: Temporarily change any parameter during performance and snap back instantly with the [TEMP] button.
• COPY: Copy and paste scenes, tracks and devices with the [COPY] button.
• DISC: New MATERIAL device for streaming audio directly from the internal storage.
• FOLLOW: New envelope follower available as Modulation Source. Use internal or external audio as the control source, adjust fall and rise time, apply sample and hold and apply modulation to any parameter.
• Track Launch: Start and stop any of the four tracks individually using the new Track Launch available in the Mix View. Track mutes moved to [CTRL] actions in the Mix View.

Enhancements​

• Optimized Internal Microphone: The internal microphone has been polished for a cleaner sound.
• New Modulation Mapping Workflow: Modulation Mapping is updated for more seamless and intuitive mapping with momentary controls. While [MOD] is held, Mapping Mode is active – turn any parameter to apply modulation to that parameter. Tap an action button while [MOD] is held to switch Modulation Source, tap again to open the Modulation Source view.
• Sample Preview: Preview samples directly in the Sample Browser by holding [CTRL] + [PLAY].
• Track Record and Track Launch quantization options available in [CONFIG].
• Quick actions enabled for [TRACK], [SCENE], [MIX] to overlay view-specific actions in any view.
• Added option in CONFIG → METER for stopping Modulator transport when the S-4 is not playing.
• Storage used is now indicated in CONFIG → SYSTEM.
• Track Input and MIDI settings restructured in [CONFIG]. They are now under separate menus CONFIG → AUDIO and CONFIG → MIDI.
• Inputs options renamed to IN1/IN2.
• Added IN1/MIC input option.
• Increased gain for line out and headphones.
• Main Level is no longer bound to projects.
• USB audio out is now post-fader, respecting levels set in the Mix View.
• Settings in a Device are saved when switching Devices (or bypassing) in a Device Slot.
• Tap an encoder while in Modulation Mapping Mode to switch between unipolar and bipolar mapping.
• Inverted bipolar mapping added for modulation.
• MAIN REC feature moved to [CTRL] + [PLAY] and features quantization, adjusted under CONFIG → METER.
• Holding [TRACK] or [CLEAR] when changing device keep actions.
• Reorganized [CLEAR] actions.
• Updated CCs and MIDI NOTE implementation.
• Buttons LED strength and color tweaked.
• GUI Enhancements:
  • Modulation Mappings are now visually indicated in the GUI as well as via the LEDs on the S-4.
  • Updates to header includes showing current Scene instead of current device, MIDI in/out indicator removed and updated page indicator design.
  • Added scrolling slider to list views.
  • Smaller tweaks to layout, icons, device visualizations, etc.
• TAPE: Enhanced TAPE device for the MATERIAL slot with new looping and overdubbing capabilities, as well as vari-speed recording.
• TAPE and DISC monitor behaviour can be changed in [CONFIG] → METER.
• RING: Added modes for the DECAY parameter.
  • SUSTAIN: Decay resonance is applied *after* filter cutoff, and WAVES/NOISE modulation.
  • CHOKE: Decay resonance is applied *before* filter cutoff, and WAVES/NOISE modulation.
• DEFORM: Added modes for the CRUSH parameter.
  • BITCRUSH
  • REDUX
  • BITCRUSH/REDUX
• DEFORM NOISE COLOR renamed to NOISE TONE.
• VASTAdded modes for the SPREAD parameter:
  • PHASE SHIFT: Shift the delay time in stereo
  • PING PONG: Alternate the delay between and left and right stereo channels.
  • DIFFUSION: Diffuse the delay for reverb-like effects
• VAST:Feedback increased to 200%
• VAST:The TONE parameter is now bipolar, allowing for both highpass and lowpass filtering of the delay feedback chain and reverb.
• POLY:Can now be triggered via the [TRIG] action.

Bugfixes​

• Fixed issues with saving and loading projects.
• Performance enhancements and optimizations to prevent crashes.
• Optimized laggy interface in TAPE.
• Fixed an issue where files could not be transferred to and from the S-4.
• Fixed an issue where recordings didn’t play when transferred to a computer.
• Fixed an issue where renaming projects in USB Mass Storage Mode didn’t affect projects when opening them up on the S-4.
• Fixed crashes when entering USB Mass Storage Mode while sending CC.
• Fixed an issue where sending CC to parameters could cause them to lock.
• Fixed an issue where the first entry in a list couldn’t be deleted.
• Fixed crashes when the internal storage becomes full.
• Fixed an issue where the Global Tempo didn’t reset on new projects.
• Optimized button presses so the S-4 no longer register double presses by mistake
