S-4 sculpting sampler The S-4 is a sculpting sampler designed to capture and transform sounds. Mergingtape-era workflows with cutting-edge technology, the S-4 redefines sound mangling byproviding a futuristic platform for crafting unique soundscapes and compositions,using samples and real-time audio processing. S-4 is a tool made for sonic explorers. It has four parallel stereo tracks, each with anaudio engine featuring a chain of audio devices including samplers, live granularprocessing, morphing resonators, and a range of audio effects. A novel modulationsystem allows anything and everything to be modulated with 4 modulators per track.Capture sounds on the fly with the onboard microphone and stereo line.
