Toraiz Sp-16 Tutorial
PioneerDJ annonced today they've partnered with Splice, the cloud-based music production platform used by over 700,000 producers, to connect the extensive sample library Splice Sounds to our professional sampler, the TORAIZ SP-16. The game-changing collaboration makes the TORAIZ SP-16 the first hardware sampler to offer seamless integration with an online sample library, and we’re celebrating by offering a month’s free access to Splice Sounds.
Here's all the info direct from PioneerDJ:
Splice Sounds revolutionised sample hunting when it launched in 2015 as the first subscription-based sample library, enabling you to download individual sounds rather than buy entire sample packs. With new samples released every week from over 50 leading labels, as well as renowned artists, Splice Sounds offers TORAIZ SP-16 users endless inspiration at their fingertips.
The new integration seamlessly connects the TORAIZ SP-16 to the world’s largest collection of high quality samples and loops. You can pick your favourite individual samples from the Splice Sounds catalogue of over 1 million sounds from world-class providers, build and save custom sample kits, and programme 32-step sequences on the web and on mobile devices using Beatmaker, Splice’s online sequencer. And now, you can easily export your custom sample kits and sequences to the TORAIZ SP-16 with the click of a button. There’s no need to import samples one by one. Simply download your creations as SCENE files to your laptop or a USB drive, connect the TORAIZ SP-16 via USB and transfer the SCENE files across. Then you can use the hardware’s features and FX to manipulate your sounds further.
Our collaboration with Splice is natural; we’re two companies committed to bringing state-of-the-art workflows to modern producers and this marks the beginning of the next generation of cloud-compatible music hardware. The integration combines the power and portability of a stand-alone hardware sampler with the workflow flexibility and expansion possibilities enabled by Splice’s cutting-edge software and web connectivity. More developments will come soon, so look out for updates.
On the collaboration, Steve Martocci, CEO and co-founder of Splice, said: “We strive to significantly improve the creative workflows of the modern musician. By partnering with a leader like Pioneer DJ to bridge the gap between the cloud and hardware, we take a big step towards providing users with a richer and more streamlined creation experience.”
To celebrate the launch of this new integration, in partnership with Splice we’re offering one month’s free access to Splice Sounds, available from March 15th, 2017. Head to splice.com and sign up to create your account first. Then, go to the subscriptions page and use the promo code ‘TORAIZ16’ to get access to Splice Sounds and start creating.

Toraiz Sp 16 Firmware Update
Pioneer DJ's TORAIZ series of instruments - the AS-1 monophonic analog synth and the SP-16 sampler - get a new family member today with the launch of the SQUID, a multitrack sequencer that is designed to sit at the very heart of your music production system. You can read our exclusive review here but in the meantime, here's what you need to know about this new and multi-talented device.
SQUIDs In
Take control of your workflow and make new styles of music with the SQUID. Named for the blend of functionality and creative stimulation it offers, the SQUID (SeQUencer Inspirational Device) is a brand-new multitrack sequencer in our TORAIZ series of musical instruments and production gear. Connect all your instruments to use the SQUID as the heartbeat of your studio and live setup, and get hands-on with innovative features never seen before on this kind of equipment.
Check out our exclusive video review below.
It’s easy to start making unique sequence patterns and phrases as soon as you hook the SQUID up to your instruments. The layout of the controls is optimized so you can effortlessly bring your ideas to life whenever inspiration strikes, and the workflow is perfect for on-the-fly music production. All this means you can spend less time looking at the unit’s display and more time creating music.
With the first Groove Bend feature ever seen on a production tool, you can really feel the groove and generate original rhythms in real time by simply moving the spring-loaded slider to change the trigger timing. Use Running Direction to create different phrases by changing the playback direction of sequence patterns you’ve programmed on the 16 pads and fluctuate the playback speed of sequences whenever you want using Speed Modulation. All of these features contribute to a fresh, nonlinear way of making music that breeds creativity and helps you stumble across things that sound great.
When you’ve created a phrase you love, you can use the SQUID Manager to back it up, along with all your projects. SQUID Manager is a free dedicated application that enables you to quickly import/export sequence patterns between the SQUID and a PC/Mac.
Reaching out into your setup, the SQUID simultaneously controls up to 16 instruments with its master pulse. It keeps everything in sync, from your DAW to hardware instruments such as the TORAIZ AS-1 monophonic analog synthesizer and the TORAIZ SP-16 professional sampler. You can even run modular synths and vintage drum machines/synths seamlessly alongside your other kit.
The SQUID fits perfectly into any studio or live music environment and helps you turn your ideas into music. It’s the third product in the TORAIZ series, which offers inspiring tools with unique features you can easily use to create new sounds.
The TORAIZ SQUID will be available from the end of April at an SRP of $599 including VAT.
KEY FEATURES OF THE TORAIZ SQUID
Step Edit section for intuitively creating sequence patterns
Have fun creating phrases by tapping the 16 multicolored LED rubber pads. Set step parameters and play in real time as if the pads were keys on a keyboard, combining various sequence functions such as Interpolation and Harmonizer to help build your sounds.
16 multicolored LED pads for enabling various features
Instantly switch between features using the SQUID’s 16 multicolored LED rubber pads, which are linked to independent modes. Use Trigger mode to step-record sequence patterns, and transpose your patterns on the fly with Transpose mode. Scale mode enables you to play scales with the 16 pads as if you were playing a keyboard and you can add nuanced expression to your performances by varying the strength of your keystrokes, thanks to the high-precision velocity detection. Using Scale mode, you can also record dynamic performances in real time.
Interpolation: instantly make a phrase
Use Interpolation to arrange phrases. Set each parameter (Pitch, Gate, and Velocity) for the beginning, middle, and the end of the steps, and the SQUID automatically interpolates (supplements) parameters for the steps in between them. Without needing to set the parameters of each step individually, you can quickly set the pitch and dynamics of the sound and create a phrase while the idea is fresh in your mind.
Harmonizer: intuitively create evolving phrases
If you want inspiration for chords, Harmonizer enables you to play them easily by hitting the Harmonizer buttons with the Pitch value set on each step parameter as the root note. Up to six chords can be assigned to the Harmonizer buttons. You can record chord compositions into steps and record real-time performances with the Harmonizer buttons, so you can intuitively create evolving phrases.
Phrase arrangement section for rearranging sequence patterns in real time
Use Running Direction, Speed Modulation, and Groove Bend to further rearrange phrases you’ve　created in the Step Edit section. Each feature has an optimized user interface so you can intuitively try out ideas as they spring to mind.
Speed Modulation
Create unique grooves by fluctuating playback speed of sequence patterns. Periodically increase and decrease the playback speed of a sequence to create unique grooves. You can switch between six waveform shapes, such as triangle and sawtooth, and adjust the rate and amount.
Running Direction: easily create new phrases
You can easily create multiple new phrases from one sequence pattern by changing its playback direction on the 16 pads. Try the Zigzag or Clockwise directions, which take advantage of the SQUID’s 4 x 4 pads – a unique feature never seen on a general sequencer before. By combining Reverse, Switch Back, and Flip with the six different Running Directions, you can try out 48 different playback directions and create a variety of different phrases.
Groove Bend: change trigger timing in real time
In addition to Swing, which automatically delays trigger timing to create grooves, the SQUID features Groove Bend – the first-ever function on a sequencer to change trigger timing in real time via a slider. This enables you to create grooves as if you’re playing a musical instrument by simply moving the spring-loaded slider.
Time Warp: save your “happy accidents”
Never lose the phrases you make incidentally when you’re trying things out. Use Time Warp to audition the previous phrase you created and save it as a new sequence pattern if you like it. There’s no need to stress over the workflow of practicing and recording take after take. Instead, feel free to just play around until you hear something you love, then capture it for use in a track or performance.
Multiple inputs/outputs: sync with various instruments
In addition to a USB B terminal and MIDI terminals for your DAW and hardware synthesizers, you can sync and play with modular synthesizers using the two sets of CV/GATE outputs and CLOCK input/output terminals. DIN SYNC input/output terminals enable syncing with vintage synthesizers and drum machines. Various signals including notes and clocks are mutually converted inside the SQUID automatically, so you can easily expand your creative scope just by adding the SQUID to your current setup.
Import/export sequence patterns via PC/Mac
Using the SQUID’s dedicated SQUID Manager, you can quickly import and export sequence patterns between the SQUID and your PC/Mac. Easily import a sequence pattern created on your DAW to the SQUID, intuitively arrange it using the sequencer’s features, and return it to your DAW. Use SQUID Manager to back up the projects you create on the SQUID by saving them to your PC/Mac.
