Provenance

The same counts the audit prints.

No patch recipes are authored for this box, so it has no values and no ranges to cite.

A point is the setting to dial, and it counts as cited only where a document prints that value. A range is the control’s own limits, and mood may move a value only inside a cited range, so 0 parameters here declare an axis that cannot move.

25 of 31 capability facts cited to a document, 6 cited against.

content

there is nothing for this box to load audio into: it generates no audio at all, so its storage holds 16 banks of 16 patterns and their settings rather than samples, and no recipe here can carry sourceAudio because there is no voice to hang one on

io.audioIn

the one input on the box other than MIDI and sync is cv mod, and the Phrase list makes it a modulation shape for pitch movement rather than a signal the box listens to

manual — Torso T-1 docs, /t1/parameter-reference/shape/range-phrase/, fetched 2026-08-28

io.individualOuts

the six CV and gate sockets carry pitch, velocity, gates and triggers as T1 Config assigns them; there is no audio to send anywhere, so there is no individual out to count

manual — Torso T-1 docs, /t1/appendix/t1-config/cv-gate/, fetched 2026-08-28

io.main

the specifications page enumerates the whole back panel — 4 CV outputs, 1 CV input, clock and reset in and out, 2 gate outputs, MIDI in, out and thru, USB-C — and names no audio socket, which is the same answer the overview gives in words: the T1 does not generate audio

io.usbAudio

the USB-C port is described as power and class-compliant USB MIDI, and T1 Config divides what crosses it into Notes, Clock, Start / Stop and Program Change with no audio among them

manual — Torso T-1 docs, /t1/appendix/t1-config/midi-io/, fetched 2026-08-28

voices

the sixteen tracks per pattern are routings rather than voices: each one takes a MIDI channel and a destination or a CV/gate assignment, and the page describing them says a track might be a kick drum or a bassline — parts played on whatever is on the other end of the cable

What it can play

No patch recipes authored yet.

Nothing is authored for this box yet, so it takes no parts in a guide. It still joins a rig: the clock and audio facts above are what the guide uses it for.
