About this listing
The Tensor™ gives you live reverse and tape stop effects, pitch shifting, time stretching and hold functions that you can combine in creative ways. Slow down, speed up and rewind in real time. Play in reverse with pitch shifting. Stretch or compress time with no pitch change. Loop, overdub, and randomly slice phrases up to 9.4 seconds (4.7 seconds in stereo). The Tensor is always listening, so you can instantly rewind what you just played and seamlessly shift between forward and reverse. It constantly analyzes what you play at three levels - phrase, note, and waveform - to choose the best splice points, so you can focus on your playing.Intelligent, multi-layer randomization adapts to the knob settings. The results range from occasional CD skips, stutters, and rhythmic repeats to random slicing and erratic pitch shifts. Both foot switches have momentary and latching modes to inject pitch jumps, glitches, or instantly rewind what you just played.The Tensor™ is in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure with all jacks on top. All controls are immediately accessible with well-spaced knobs for live tweaking, and USB MIDI for recording and sequencing.Listen to music written around the Tensor: Tensor Tracks on bandcampFeatures:Tape speed from reverse to stop to forwardRealtime time stretch up to 4:1Loop time compression and stretch from 1:4 to 4:1Pitch shift from -2 to +2 octaves in fixed intervalsIntelligent randomizationOverdub, replace, and dual buffer (next) loop modesForward/alternate/reverse loop directionAdditional looping functions via remote switch or MIDIMomentary or latching foot switchesAlways listening - instantly jump from bypass to reverseAssignable expression pedal, remote switch, remote tap, or MIDI port+5.5 dBu maximum input level (adjustable to +8 dBu)Stereo input/output (TRS)MIDI (USB and TRS)Web-based editor for editing presets and accessing hidden parametersNew in firmware version 1.1:Loop sampler functions (retrigger / stop / one shot) via MIDI or remote switch31 presets via MIDI or remote switchExpression pedal assignable to any knobsImproved MIDI scaling for speed, time, and pitchKill dry mode (always mutes dry signal)Designed and assembled in Detroit, USA.
