Craft fat sounds with Dave Smith-designed filters. Build new grooves on the 64-step sequencer. Producer DJs -- get creative with Pioneer's TORAIZ AS-1 synth!

The second musical instrument in the Pioneer TORAIZ range, the AS-1 is a monophonic analog synthesizer that brings 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 analog synthesis engine based on the discrete analogue circuitry in Dave Smith Instruments' Prophet-6 synthesizer. It also inherits 7 on-board effects from the Prophet-6 synth as well as a brand new digital distortion.

Collaboration with Dave Smith

Working closely with Dave Smith himself, Pioneer has created a synth that produces powerful analogue sound. The TORAIZ AS-1 is an ideal addition to the setups of professional and aspiring producers.

Prophet-6 analog sound

The AS-1 is based on the same analogue filters as Dave Smith's renowned Prophet-6 synthesiser. It has 2 voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) with continuously-variable triangle, sawtooth, and pulse wave shapes. Sculpt your sound using the 2 voltage-controlled filters (VCF), a 4-pole, resonant low-pass filter that can self-oscillate, and a 2-pole, resonant high-pass filter.

Full programmability

Use the TORAIZ AS-1 to create one-of-a-kind sounds using 2 VCOs, 2 VCFs, and VCA, 2 EGs and 1 LFO, then save each sound and its… read more parameter settings as a program so you can instantly access it later.

Creative DJ setup

Create even more complex patterns by connecting the TORAIZ AS-1 synth to the TORAIZ SP-16 live sampler via MIDI. Or take it to the booth and connect the sampler to your DJ setup via Pro DJ Link: The CDJs play the track, the TORAIZ SP-16 adds loops and one-shots, and the TORAIZ AS-1 generates unique analogue leads.

I want to slap myself for not getting this sooner. This little box is like a micro Prophet 6. Lush warm analog sounds, DSI parameters galore, quality all around, and that fun little touch sensitive keybed. I own a Prophet REV 2 I also got from zZounds and this is my 2nd DSI product. I felt right at home using it. Same parameters as on the Prophet Rev as soon as I plugged it in and started playing with it I feel in love with this thing. I can't wait to start recording songs with this thing once I get into the manual for it!
