Device Overview

Comprehensive Overview of Devices on the S-4

Last updated 6 days ago


The S-4 audio engine provides five sequentially arranged device slots per track. Each slot can be configured by selecting a specific device and adjusting its parameters either manually or through automatic modulation.

The device structure of the S-4 is the heart of the S-4's audio engine, with each of the five device slots providing different options for both audio playback and live mangling capabilities.

Devices on the S-4 are continuously updated, and new devices will be released in the future.


Device Chain

The five device slots are arranged from left to right, as seen on the S-4 layout. Each device continuously receives audio input from the preceding device and passes its output to the next device in the chain.

Whether it’s live input, recorded audio, or loaded samples, the MATERIAL device slot serves as the sound source on the S-4. The preceding devices are effect devices.
