A Prophet-6 Heritage in a Compact Format, Designed for Studio and Stage
The TORAIZ AS-1 is the second instrument in the TORAIZ range, developed as a continuation of the "production + performance" approach. Its uniqueness lies in featuring an analog architecture directly derived from the Prophet-6, itself a modern reimagining of the Prophet-5 spirit. The result: a compact, robust, musician-oriented synthesizer capable of delivering a powerful analog character to both studio setups and live rigs.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
The TORAIZ AS-1 is aimed both at beginner producers seeking a true analog sound without unnecessary complexity and at experienced musicians looking for an expressive monophonic module. It excels at basses, leads, sequences, and textures in genres such as techno, electro, house, ambient, synthwave, or pop. In live settings, its touchpad and performance controls make it an excellent choice for improvising and evolving patches in real time.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Pioneer DJ TAS-1 polyphonic?
Polyphony is limited to one voice: this synthesizer is designed for bass lines, leads, and monophonic sequences.
Which analog filters are built in?
The architecture includes a 4-pole resonant low-pass filter capable of self-oscillation and a 2-pole resonant high-pass filter. Both VCOs offer triangle, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse waveforms.
Does the sequencer allow creating complete patterns?
Each program contains an editable 64-step sequence. The 495 preset programs and up to 495 user programs can thus associate a sound with a distinct sequence. The Sequence Lock function enhances performance possibilities.
What audio and MIDI connectivity is available?
Connections include two L/R audio outputs on 6.35 mm TS jacks, a headphone output on a 6.35 mm stereo jack, MIDI IN and MIDI OUT/THRU on 5-pin DIN connectors, as well as a USB Type B port.
What effects are offered on this synth?
The dual engine allows using one effect or combining two, including Bucket Brigade Delay, distortion, Ring Modulation, chorus, and several phasers. A digital distortion is also integrated.
