Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 495 Preset Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

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.

Key Features

• Working closely with Dave Smith himself, we have created a synth that produces powerful analogue sound
• The AS-1 is based on the same analogue filters as Dave Smith’s renowned Prophet-6 synthesiser
• 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 parameter settings as a program so you can instantly access it later
• The inspiring 495 preset programmes each have a different sound and 64-step sequence that can be edited separately
• The TORAIZ AS-1 will make sure your performance is in perfect harmony as you perform the sounds you create with the touchpad keyboard
