Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I’d go with the sonic ware ambient/evoke and maybe something like the torso t-1 which I think is better for ambient than the oxi because it has better random algorithms IMO.
  • I love my T-1 so much :,) I use it a lot with my Digitone and Syntakt... It’s great for drums, it can be great for melodic stuff - it’s amazing for arps on Digitone
  • the Torso T-1 intrigues me with its minimal, generative approach.
  • My live setup is the syntakt with the Faderfox PC12 to get the most out of it, sequenced by the torso T-1.
  • I am the happy owner of a Digitakt (samples), Torso T-1 (sequencing) and Faderfox PC12 (knobs; CC information on Digitakt). It works great

Cons

  • My intention was to pair the Polyend with the Torso T-1, so maybe i could actually swap the Polyend with the Torso S-4.
  • The T1 is really wild and a bit hard to wrap your head around it at first, and the knob labels are absolutely unreadable in low light, but I would say I had more fun with it than the oxi because you can just twiddle knobs and come up wit...
  • Unfortunately after about a year and a half, it started having issues with its memory or CPU, losing its ability to save.
  • The Torso UI is somewhat idiosyncratic. You will either love it or not get along with it at all. It’s very well made.

The T1 is really wild and a bit hard to wrap your head around it at first, and the knob labels are absolutely unreadable in low light, but I would say I had more fun with it than the oxi because you can just twiddle knobs and come up with some really cool stuff very quickly. At times I struggled to get anything that sounded good out of it for synths though. It is really awesome for coming up with wild drum patterns quickly

while the T1's whole thing is that it's very playable, hands on, lots of knobs.
