Pioneer DJ TORAIZ-AS-1: Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

About the Pioneer DJ TORAIZ-AS-1: Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

The 2nd musical instrument in the Pioneer DJ TORAIZ-series range, the TORAIZ-AS-1 is a Monophonic Analog Synthesizer that brings new creative possibilities to the studio and the stage.  Its intuitive controls include parameter knobs that let you make both subtle and dramatic changes to the tone of your music to create your own personalized sound. Plus you can use the touchpad style keyboard and slider to manipulate sounds during performances.

The TORAIZ AS-1 is driven by a fully programmable, true Analogue Synthesis engine based on the discrete circuitry in the prophet 6 Synthesizer.  It also inherits 7 onboard effects from it as well as a brand new digital distortion.

A synthesizer is created that produces powerful Analogue sound.  The TORAIZ AS-1 is an ideal addition to the setups of professional and aspiring producers.

Prophet 6 Analogue sound:

The TORAIZ-AS-1 is based on the same Analogue filters as the renowned prophet 6 Synthesizer.  It has 2 voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) including variable triangle, sawtooth, and pulse wave shapes.  Sculpt your sound using the resonant low and high pass filters (VCF) that can self oscillate, and a 4 and 2 poles.

Full programmability:

Use the TORAIZ-AS-1 to create one of a kind sounds using 2 VCO and F and EG's and A, and 1 LFO, then save each sound and its parameter settings as a program so you can instantly access it later.

495 presets:

The inspiring 495 preset programs each have a different sound and 64 steps sequence that can be edited separately.  You can also save up to 495 of your own programs in the 5 user banks.

Prophet 6 FX:

Be creative through the prophet 6 derived dual FX engine and use a single effect or pair 2 together to add extra texture to your sounds.  FX includes bucket brigade delay, distortion, ring modulation, chorus and maestro phaser.

Keyboard & scale mode:

The TORAIZ AS-1 will make sure your performance is in perfect harmony as you perform the sounds you create through the touchpad keyboard or change the notes assigned to the keys through scale mode.

Slider:

Add dynamic changes to your performance by using the slider to manipulate 7 different parameters.  Change the pitch of 2 oscillators, adjust the amount of FX and more.

Arpeggiator:

Be ready to experiment: perform a repeating chord pattern and change it in real time, try out different types and match scales, through a track during playback, and more.

64 steps sequencer:

Give your performance the edge through the 64 steps sequencer.  Recording of patterns, changing the musical key, editing the sound without pattern, it's all possible.

Creative DJ setup:

Create even more complex patterns by connecting the TORAIZ AS-1 Synthesizer to the SP-16 live sampler via MIDI.  Or take it to the booth and connect it to your DJ setup via professional DJ link: the CDJ's play the track, the TORAIZ SP-16 adds loops and 1 shot, and it generates unique Analogue leads.
