Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

General

Dave Smith of Dave Smith Instruments and Pioneer joined forces to develop the Toraiz AS-1 monophonic analogue synthesizer, based on the DSI Prophet-6. The AS-1 is guaranteed to deliver a wide array of warm, edgy, and super-fat synth sounds for use in the studio as well as on stage. Thanks to the intuitive controls, you can add subtle and/or dramatic changes to customise your sound. You can also utilise the touch pad keyboard and ribbon slider to gain access to sounds you never thought were possible!

Toraiz AS-1: a true prophet

At the core of the Toraiz AS-1, there is a fully-programmable, true analogue synthesis engine based on the analogue circuitry of the Dave Smith Prophet-6. It features two oscillators (VCO) with variable triangle, sawtooth or pulse waveforms. The sound can be adjusted by means of two filters (VCF), a 4-pole resonant low-pass filter that also oscillates, and a 2-pole resonant high-pass filter. The seven effects in the Prophet-6 have also been incorporated into the AS-1, and include delay, chorus and phaser; in addition, there's a brand-new digital distortion. Also, there's a 64-step sequencer and an arpeggiator function so you can create the wildest sound patterns imaginable!

High-quality and versatile

As soon as you take the Toraiz AS-1 out of the box, you'll find it's equipped with 495 presets that all deliver top-notch Dave Smith synth sounds so you can make music right away! When you've got the hang of this instrument, and you've created your own sound, you can store it under one of the other 495 presets (divided into 5 banks). The AS-1 is compatible with your current synth setup thanks to its MIDI connections, and if you own the Toraiz SP-16, you'll find it can be integrated seamlessly with the AS-1, resulting in an ultimate DJ setup. Finally, you can access world-class synth sounds in a compact device, known as the Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer!
