Pioneer DJ introduced the Toraiz AS-1 monosynth as a follow-up to their first collaboration with Dave Smith Instruments, which brought us the Toraiz SP-16 sampling workstation. The Toraiz AS-1 combines classic, all-analog sound with digital control and phenomenal stability to form a thoroughly modern hybrid synthesizer. Its diminutive size and streamlined controls conceal a fully discrete sound engine based on the DSI Prophet-6, providing you with an intuitive connection to a flexible synthesizer.
