#**Rules**

1. **NO PERSONAL ATTACKS** - Please keep comments constructive! Personal attacks, insults, and bad faith criticism of users equipment or music will not be tolerated. Fair warning to all: racism, sexism, hate speech, political intolerance regardless of viewpoint (especially any witch-hunting or brigading), deadnaming, or harassment of any sort will result in an instant and permanent ban.

2. **NO SALES POSTS** - Sale/trade/buy posts are not allowed. Please go to r/synths4sale instead. Links to uncommonly great specials/deals are allowed. If you are the manufacturer or developer of a commercial product, please message the mods before posting, but we will usually allow new product promotion as long as you stay to answer questions.

3. **ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR OWN CONTENT** - Links to streams of your music are allowed only if you intend on fielding questions about your production and your use of synthesizers in your music. If you are not willing to field questions then your post will be removed.

4. **NO LOW-EFFORT CONTENT** - Low-effort content includes: memes, jokes, pictures of boxes/receipts/shipping notifications, pictures of gear without explanation, self-promotion without participation, etc. Posts violating the spirit of this rule may be removed at the moderators discretion.

5. **LEAVE A COMMENT ON LINK/PHOTO/VIDEO POSTS** - Link, photo, and video posts must include a meaningful comment by the OP. “Here is a track I made” or "look at my new synth" is not sufficient since the point is to encourage discussion. Posts lacking a comment will be automatically removed after 1 hour.

6. **NO PRICE SHAMING** - Some equipment doesn’t cost much, some costs a lot. That is ok. Posts that contain insults, attacks, or conspiracy theories based on your opinion of the value of gear will be deleted.

7. **NO PIRACY** - This is an instant ban. If you use our community to encourage any sort of IP theft you will be banned, no questions asked. Support the people that make all of this possible.

8. **APPROACH CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS WITH CARE** - Discussion posts that are inflammatory, aggressive, or otherwise likely to provoke flame wars, intentionally or not, will be removed at the moderators’ discretion. When appropriate, users may be asked to resubmit their discussion topic with a more neutral tone.

It looks like the Torso S-4 are finally being shipped. Has anyone received one? Initial thoughts?
