Pioneer Toraiz AS-1

Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 monophonic analog synthesizer

TORAIZ AS-1 is a monophonic analog synthesizer that brings new creative possibilities in the studio and on stage.

Intuitive controls include parameter knobs that allow subtle as well as significant changes to the tone of the music to create your own sound.

One can create unique sounds using 2 VCOs, 2 VCFs and VCAs, 2 EGs and 1 LFO, then save each sound and its parameter settings as a program so they can be instantly accessed later.

What's more, the touch panel-style keyboard and slider help to easily manipulate sounds during performances. Dynamic changes can be added using the slider to manipulate 7 different parameters. One can also change the pitch of 2 oscillators, adjust the amount of FX and more.

The 495 preset programs are a source of inspiration and each have a different sound and a 64-step sequence that can be edited separately. Also, up to 495 own programs can be saved in the 5 user banks.

Dual FX engine includes: Bucket Brigade Delay, Distortion, Ring Modulation, Chorus and Maestro Phaser.

Even more complex patterns can be created by connecting the TORAIZ AS-1 synthesizer to the TORAIZ SP-16 live sampler in real time via MIDI. Or the sampler can be connected to DJ equipment via Pro DJ Link: CDJs play the track, the TORAIZ SP-16 adds loops and one-shots, and the TORAIZ AS-1 generates unique analog derivations.
