The T-1 can be customized to suit your music. In fact, it is many instruments in one: Each of the T-1’s 16 tracks can be set up in one of three modes. 

Note

• Compose rhythms and melodies from scratch with creative musical algorithms, and tweak them to your desire with detailed step editing.

CC

• Take absolute control over sound design with 16 CC knobs and add automation via random modulation and step editing

FX

• Create real-time midi FX to expand and transform your musical ideas. Connect a midi keyboard for hands on live performance

The signal flow of any modern studio is a complex web of analog, digital and wireless signals and keeping your instruments connected and in sync can be a drain for your creativity. The T-1 solves this by communicating via MIDI, USB, analog CV and gates, Ableton Link and Wi-Fi connections with all of your gear.

• The T-1 is an instrument designed to be played in the here and now. Whether you are working in a studio or on stage, the path between musical inspiration and performance has never been shorter.
• Make relative parameter changes on one or multiple tracks simultaneously, save the changes or return to the starting point. With the T-1, your music making process is a constantly evolving flow.

Ableton Link 

• Play together with the freedom of a live band. T-1 lets you keep track of time with Ableton Link over Wi-Fi

Musical scales

• Lock notes into musical scales and create melodies by modulating the pitch with different melody phrases and looping random sequences

Randomize everything

• Randomization can be added to every parameter on each track, making it possible to add slight variations or total random chaos

Euclidean rhythms

• T-1’s Euclidean rhythms, which feature embedded velocity grooves and swing, make it a powerful tool for generating a wide range of vivid and dynamic patterns

Arpeggiator

• Add repeats on top of euclidean pulses and apply different voicing styles to build repeating and arpeggiating patterns

Auto save

• Build your projects iteratively and avoid loosing work with the auto save feature
