The Pioneer DJ TORAIZ SP-16 sampler and step sequencer is the first in a lineup of music production tools for DJs and producers. Pioneer DJ has partnered with the legendary synth creator Dave Smith to add his Prophet-6 analogue filters, so you can give your creations a rich, analog warmth and presence.

Use the TORAIZ SP-16's simple layout and large touch screen for producing, or use it as a standalone unit in the DJ booth to enhance performances. Just load samples, create patterns, add FX, loops, and manipulate their parameters to make your music your own.

Full-color touch screen

The 7-inch, full-color touch display gives you instant access to all the info you need. Browse, select and color-code samples intuitively, while manipulating their parameters with the rotary dials just below the screen.

Step sequencer

A 16-step sequencer lets you create up to 256 different patterns. You can save and play back your loops instantly, and use the dials to modulate the sounds. Plus the backlit buttons will reflect the colors assigned to each sound for a visual guide.

Get an introduction to the Pioneer DJ Toraiz SP-16:

Tactile performance pads

Load up to 16 samples to the large rubber pads, then finger drum freely to layer sounds on-the-fly. The multicolor LEDs show what samples are in play, while Velocity Mode lets you control the sample volume with the amount of pressure you apply.

Powerful processing engine

You get all the power you need to play with 16… read more samples simultaneously -- even when you're using time stretch, pitch bend or the amp envelope. And with 8GB of flash memory you have enough space to use the TORAIZ SP-16 as a standalone unit, with no need for a laptop.

Dave Smith analogue filters

The TORAIZ SP-16 has the same analog filters as Dave Smith's renowned Prophet-6 synthesiser. Use the dials to sculpt your sound -- manipulating Drive, Cut Off and Resonance -- and add true analogue warmth and presence.

Pre-installed samples

With 2GB of pre-installed samples, courtesy of Loopmasters, you can get started right out of the box.

Beat sync

Connect compatible devices via PRO DJ LINK and the sampler will snap your one-shots and loops to the beat of the master deck. A MIDI clock also lets you connect other devices via USB and stay in sync.

Touch strip

Use the touch strip for instinctive control of various parameters including pitch bending.

USB support

Load sound sources without hassle using a USB storage device. read less
