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 Technical Specifications Synthesis Parameters Oscillator 1 Frequency Pulse Width Sync (Off, On) Oscillator 1 Shapes Triangle Sawtooth Variable-width Pulse Oscillator 2 Frequency Fine Pulse Width Key Follow (Off, On) Low Frequency (Off, On) Oscillator 2 Shapes Triangle Sawtooth Variable-width Pulse Oscillators Slop Mixer Oscillator 1 Level Oscillator 2 Level Sub Level Noise Level Low-pass Filter Cutoff Resonance Key Amount (Off, Half, Full) Velocity (Off, On) High-pass Filter Cutoff Resonance Key Amount (Off, Half, Full) Velocity (Off, On) Filter Envelope Low-pass Filter Amount High-pass Filter Amount Attack Decay Sustain Release AMP Envelope Amount Velocity (Off, On) Attack Decay Sustain Release Glide Rate Off, On Mode (Fixed Rate, Fixed Time, Fixed Rate A, Fixed Time A) LFO Frequency Sync (Off, On) Initial Amount LFO Shapes Triangle Reverse Sawtooth Sawtooth Square Random LFO Destination Oscillator 1 Frequency Oscillator 2 Frequency Oscillator 1 and 2 Pulse Width Low-pass Filter Cutoff High-pass Filter Cutoff VCA Modulation Source Filter Envelope Oscillator 2 Amount Modulation Destination Oscillator 1 Frequency Oscillator 1 Shape Oscillator 1 Pulse Width Low-pass Filter Cutoff High-pass Filter Cutoff Effects FX 1 Type Bucket-brigade Delay Distortion Ring Modulation FX 2 Types Chorus Low Resonance Phaser High Resonance Phaser Maestro Phaser Parameters Each effect has 2 adjustable parameters Sequencer Step Length Up to 64 steps Parameters Key, Velocity, Slew (Off, On) for each step BPM (shared with arpeggiator) Time Divide (shared with arpeggiator) Arpeggiator Mode Up Down Up + Down Random Assign Range 1 ~ 3 octaves Parameters BPM (shared with sequencer) Time Divide (shared with sequencer) Performance Control Keyboard 13-key touch keyboard 22 preset scales 9 octaves: C0 ~ C9 (use with Oscillator 1 and 2 frequency parameters) Slider Parameters Oscillator 1 Frequency Oscillator 2 Frequency Low-pass Filter Amount High-pass Filter Amount LFO Amount FX 1 Mix FX 2 Mix OLED Display Able to access all parameters MIDI Controllable Parameters Aftertouch Amount Aftertouch Destination Oscillator 1 Frequency Oscillator 2 Frequency Low-pass Filter Cutoff High-pass Filter Cutoff VCA LFO Amount Pitch Bend Range Up to -/+ 12 semitones Key Mode Low High Last Low Retrigger High Retrigger Last Retrigger Alternative Tuning 17 preset tunings Terminals Outputs 1 AUDIO OUT L/R (1/4 inch TS Jacks) 1 PHONES (1/4 inch stereo phone Jack) MIDI 1 MIDI IN (5P DIN) 1 MIDI OUT/THRU (5P DIN) USB 1 USB B port Others 1 TRIGGER IN (1/4 inch TS jack) Trigger Input Able to connect a general foot switch or input audio signals Able to set the operation from 4 types: Pedal Trigger Gate Trigger-Gate Sound Generation Analog synthesis Programmable 99 programmes x 10 banks (5 factory banks, 5 user banks) * Each program includes its own sequence pattern * Able to set up to 13 favourite programmes can be registered Width 10.53 in Height 2.7 in Depth 7 in Weight 3.09 lb Power Supply AC adaptor DC 5 V Power Consumption 1500 mA Included Accessories AC adaptor Power cord Quick Start Guide Warranty
