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!
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!
Nice step by step tutorial :) T1 is a very organic sequencer but it really shines when used with polyphonic voices. Works also very nice with modular. Thanks for taking the time to share :)
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.
Repeats to self: "I do not need another sequencer. I do not need another sequencer. I do NOT need another sequencer" 🤣 who am I kidding, will prob try this out at some point, looks super fun lol
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?
amazing. thank you man, seriously. this is just what I was looking for when I first picked mine up. Cheers m8, guess i know what I’m doing this weekend… oh and big ups the glare-ups slippers techno massive ✊🏻
Great and succinct tutorial. Surgeon used the T-1 to sequence his gear on his latest album Crash Recoil. Worth checking out if you like that kind of thing. He's a big fan of the T-1.
I’ve just bought one of these second hand. I love the look of it. I’m going to pair it with my NDLR, when that comes back from repair. The two together are going to be great.
What’s the functional difference between sending, say, midi on track 1 to 1, 3 and 6, vs just setting 3 different synths to receive the notes from track 1?
amazing breakdown of such a powerhouse device - been giving this a go with my digitakt and digitone and wow every time I keep learning more - Thank you!!
Love the video, thank you! QQ, I'm trying to use my T1 with Logic, but despite setting source and midi channels, whenever I click on a new track it only controls that. How did you work your magic, sir
Thank you thank you thank you. I got my T-1 when it first came out. Then version 2 came out, and it seemed that everything I knew was obsolete. I love that you take your time explaining things clearly. You take care that we can see the buttons, their colors and your hands are not in the way. Excellent job!
amazing. thank you man, seriously. this is just what I was looking for when I first picked mine up. Cheers m8, guess i know what I’m doing this weekend… oh and big ups the glare-ups slippers techno massive ✊🏻
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.
Just set the track to the MIDI channel that corresponds to the MIDI channel your instrument responds on - or for CV and Gate stuff you set what track that gear responds on in the software editor
So for example channel 1 can be set to session instrument 1 in ableton, channel 2 to session 2, etc? Because thats what I figured, it’s just not doing that 🤔
great tutorial!- I am new to setting up midi devices and using Bitwig as my DAW. With the T-1 im not sure how to setup the channels to map to different instruments in bitwig are there some starter guides can recommend to me?
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)
@@mylarmelodies thanks I got it working (at least one way) just had to click around to find where midi channels were listed in Bitwig... there may be more than 1 way to do it though.
@mylarmelodies - this is one of the best video's on the T-1 I keep coming back to this video because it is so comprehensive and well explained. Thanks again for this. the moment at 29 minutes when changing the output is really great I would love more deeper dive into what is going on with that... its not clear to me what is modulating those notes.
This was quite a performance. Oh, it was a tutorial alright, but the presentation was first rate. Reminded me of my visiting The Magic Castle and attending a ‘close-up’ magician doing his routine which was delightful, because it was done right before our eyes, and yet surprised us. Right about the time I was ready to yell at you for ‘stop with the droning melody’, you tweaked it, with the t1 and it became well, interesting. Kind of like the close-up magician did with just a few simple moves. Now comes the ask. Please do something like this with the Squarp Hapax. I’m still finding it a bit too much to wrap my mind around the many options and procedures for this instrument, even if I’m aware it’s probably more straightforward than I’ve made it. Could you do a ‘performance’ for the Hapax like you did for the Torso t1?
Thank you and yeah I structure and edit trying to retain how a viewer would perceive it, if I’m bored, someone else will be! Hopefully someday will check out the Hapax, looks good!
Wonderful tour, and this doesn't even cover the MIDI FX and CV tracks available on top of the core functions you demonstrated... 😆 Such a deep, well thought-out tool.
Excellent T-1 tutorial! Have had it since the first Kickstarter batch and love it, and still got a tip or two out of this video. Perhapes the next video on T-1 midi-CC? ;-)
so... an autoacompaniment machine. Something like those keyboards you used to get back in the day, where you could go into split mode and have the left hand play instachord-vamps while the right hand played the tune, but without the right hand. There must be something musical it can do, but at the moment I'm not seeing it. I'm sure I'm missing something because people seem to think highly of it. Thanks for the demo.
It's a midi sequencer so you can control multiple synths or Eurorack modules from a single user interface. He created chords with it, also you can program melodic riffs as well with it.
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!
That’s so wicked - thanks Tony and you’re half the reason I wanted to try this out!! 🙌

You are an incredible teacher. Thanks so much for this.
Beautifully explained. This looks way more fun than the Oxi One. Think I might have to get it. Sick jam at the end!
Nice step by step tutorial :) T1 is a very organic sequencer but it really shines when used with polyphonic voices. Works also very nice with modular. Thanks for taking the time to share :)
Can you recommend a good midi visualizer for MacOS?
Synthesia or MIDITrail.
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.
Agreed. Also how rate & cycles interact with random (per function) and how this can be used creatively.
Anyways Alex, best and most inspiring T1 tutorial out there (as everything else you touch!). Congrats! S4’s coming soon? Would be awesome 🥳
Repeats to self: "I do not need another sequencer. I do not need another sequencer. I do NOT need another sequencer" 🤣 who am I kidding, will prob try this out at some point, looks super fun lol
Perfect Circuit has them in stock if you’ve got GAS pains…
I do not need another sequencer, I do not…. Ok let’s do 12 month financing and start paying next month 😂
Best tutorial for the T1 I’ve found (At least for how my brain works). Thanks!
Awesome video Mylar!! :) ... just a tip for watchers, the double tap 'Ctrl' function needs to be turned 'on' using the T1 conig tool.
When will the second episode be released?
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.

Best tutorial i've ever seen on the T-1, invaluable. Thank you.
For whatever reason, the T-1 is the sequencer that has spoken to me and makes the most sense to me. Great video demo!
Affiliate link used. That should get you out of the “poor house” and into the “Pour me more!haus” …. 😅
One can dream!! Just 'not lose my haus' would do...
amazing. thank you man, seriously. this is just what I was looking for when I first picked mine up. Cheers m8, guess i know what I’m doing this weekend…

Wow! This is the best explanation of this sequencer. Thank you for doing this! 🙏🏾
That's what I've been waiting for. I hope you make a whole series out of it my Hero!
What’s the functional difference between sending, say, midi on track 1 to 1, 3 and 6, vs just setting 3 different synths to receive the notes from track 1?
Flexibility really, that’s all
But I like my wrong notes.
You could make it play nothing BUT wrong notes if you wanted
If loving these notes is wrong, I don’t wanna be right….
Jesus Christ. Finally someone does it and who better to do it than you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Think this video has sold me on the idea of ordering one once they are back in stock.
Just love the slippers in the iPhone footage at the end. This is the hedonism I came for 😂❤
Middle age has well and truly got its claws in me
Best tutorial yet on this thing, keep it up!
Great job Mylar! One of the best tutorials on the T1. the machine flies in your hands!!!
amazing breakdown of such a powerhouse device - been giving this a go with my digitakt and digitone and wow every time I keep learning more - Thank you!!
Definitely one of the better T-1 tutorials, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks!
Phenomenal tutorial, thank you! Just received my T-1, can’t wait to get into it.
VERY good tutorial. I wish I’d seen it before I bought my OXI One - which I am sure is marvellous, but for me a bit overwhelming.
Love the video, thank you!
QQ, I'm trying to use my T1 with Logic, but despite setting source and midi channels, whenever I click on a new track it only controls that. How did you work your magic, sir
Thank you thank you thank you. I got my T-1 when it first came out. Then version 2 came out, and it seemed that everything I knew was obsolete. I love that you take your time explaining things clearly. You take care that we can see the buttons, their colors and your hands are not in the way. Excellent job!
Can you export / save the midi tracks to a DAW or would you just play the T1 and record???
Regarding MIDI connectivity - can you pls help with MIDI In? I would like to send MIDI notes via MIDI in on T-1
Muuuuum - heee's bleeping again!!
Thank you. This has been the perfect into guide.
Can you combine it with a midi keyboard and record notes into it? Guessing you can’t?
Picked one up the day this video came out, serendipitously & wicked init 😊
Dammit! Now you're forcing me to go buy another sequencer! hahaha Thanks for the vid, very in depth but also fun along the way... as usual.
well, I bought it... It's amazing. Thank you!
that midi visualization is brills
Thanks love, that's MIDITrail!
Can you program note slides?
Not going to pretend. You lost me about half way through. Bloody heck, it seems complicated...
There is a lot to it!! But you ultimately can just turn knobs and see what happens
Great video ! Thanks a lot
So no real-time recording tho?
I've never thought of Robin as particularly round, I will be honest.
The American Robin isn’t very round, but the British Robin is round!
doin the Lord's Work here
I've just bought one of these today so this is super useful thanks.
Ahh banging, that’s what it’s here for!! Hope it helps and do let me know how you get on
I saw a friend”s T1 and was intrigued. Unfortunately they are out of stock and no mention on the website if they plan on making any more.
Sure they will!
thank you for this!!! i needed this. for me, the manual made it look so complicated and
boring. i understand so much of it now.
amazing. thank you man, seriously. this is just what I was looking for when I first picked mine up. Cheers m8, guess i know what I’m doing this weekend…
oh and big ups the glare-ups slippers techno massive ✊🏻
Fantastic breakdown of this sequencer. I'm still going to read the massive manual, but this was super helpful! Thanks for this demonstration.
Thanks for the vid lots of tips. What midi visualizer are you using to see the notes?
It was Miditrail!
Well done. Very well done!
Excellent! I've been struggling with mine, this has really helped.
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 tutorial! Thank you!
Absolutely idiot proof exposition, without being laborious. Cheers!
Interesting . I’ve been doing similar but using Maschine+ it works well. This has a totally new approach to melody and rhythm. Very interesting… 👍
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.
Thanks mate, got my T1 yesterday and this tutorial is so helpful :)
Dope👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Superb video - great presentation at the right pace, making something reasonably tricky very understanable - thanks!
Thanks Mylar. That was really useful. Inspired me to buy one, and just figuring it out now.
Perfect. So usefull. Thank you very much. Now i feel Like a pro :)
Okay, I understand the hype for T1 now. And your educational visuals are ace! 👏🏻
I have one as kickstarter backer, but haven’t had enough time to use and explore. This tutorial is really helpful to get started 🔊
Great tutorial, thanks! Such an amazing device.
Great with some insights on Lenght, Quantize and Temp, Thanks!
You can use temp and mutes together. Works like a charm for buildups
Thank you, this is a video I know I'll return to a few times and I think its the best guide on the device out there. Great work dude.
Great demo. Seems ideal for anyone interested in live performance in genres like techno, certainly makes things much easier.
kinda tweaking tonight, but will watch this soon. thanks for putting in the work to make such a good refresher video on the t1
Just bought one. Thanks for the vid. However, i think u skipped over how to assign the actual instrument to a track?
Just set the track to the MIDI channel that corresponds to the MIDI channel your instrument responds on - or for CV and Gate stuff you set what track that gear responds on in the software editor
So for example channel 1 can be set to session instrument 1 in ableton, channel 2 to session 2, etc? Because thats what I figured, it’s just not doing that 🤔
Now I know Torso! ❤
Oooh, nice one Alex. Just ordered one of these a few days ago, so guess I'll sit down with this video when I get it. 👍
This is the video I’ve been waiting for…
The midi visualizer was very helpful.
The best tutorial out there for real, helped me a great deal with my new T1 , thanks!
Awesome. Not so hard looking to learn after this. Thank you!
Finally a really good tutorial on the T1. Thank you so much!
New to your channel and must say you have a rare gift for this stuff, mate.

Doing the good work here! Feels like that brain to techno interface is one step closer 😀
I really want to connect my jomox alpha base to this.
This is SO useful, thank you very much!
Super nice recording at the start. Superb
Killer tutorial on this beast
This and OXI One are my fav sequencers
Amazing demo! Now do the S-4! 😉
Fantabulous, excellent tutorial.

I have one sitting here on the shelf unused ... time to get it out and rewatch this superb 👍👍👍 tutorial 😅
Poifect. Yes see if you can follow along? Hoping it all makes sense!!
Wonderful tour, and this doesn't even cover the MIDI FX and CV tracks available on top of the core functions you demonstrated... 😆 Such a deep, well thought-out tool.
Yeah totally - someone needs to do just a MIDI CC/CV input vid!
Excellent T-1 tutorial! Have had it since the first Kickstarter batch and love it, and still got a tip or two out of this video. Perhapes the next video on T-1 midi-CC? ;-)
Thanks!! May struggle to find the time but if anyone makes the spiritual add on MIDI CC (and anything else?) vid I’ll happily link it here
Voicing is chord inversions, right?
Outstanding tutorial! Thank you.

Thanks!
Thank you and happy sequencing!!! 🙌
