The second musical instrument in our TORAIZ range, the 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 personalised sound. Plus you can use the touchpad-style keyboard and slider to manipulate sounds during performances.
Features:
Flexible analog monosynth designed in partnership with Dave Smith Instruments
Simple surface-accessible interface controls a remarkably powerful synth engine
All-analog synthesizer architecture based on the legendary DSI Prophet-6
Full digital control lets you call up presets, control modulation routing, and more
Create beat-sync'd loops and blazing arpeggios on the fly to enhance your live sets
Remarkably playable 13-note touchpad keyboard and pitch/mod slider onboard
Manipulate key filter and envelope parameters in real time for manual sound evolution
Compact design fits perfectly in your tabletop or DJ rig
Be ready to experiment: perform a repeating chord pattern and change it in real time, try out different scales, match scales with a track during playback, and more.
64-step sequencer
Give your performance the edge with the 64-step sequencer. Step recording of patterns, changing the musical key, editing the sound without editing the pattern – it’s all possible.
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.
