Embracing The Hybrid DJ
Often I've been asked whether I prefer producing or dj-ing. We're now in an era where the two are cross pollinating. I see this as one of the first machines to venture deeper into a non laptop based semi live performance. I hope Pioneer would lift the 32 second length limitation though. If you want to really do remixes you need longer samples. If layering your (cdj) tracks with added drums is your dj thing than this is your box.

Price is the Only Reason It's Not a 5
The price of the Toraiz, paired with my neverending quest for a complete laptop replacement, made me dissapointed the Toraiz couldn't do polyrhythms, handle samples over 32s, or do proper MIDI recording and sequencing. That said, the DSI filter sounds fit, the large array of track LFO destinations, the ability for the LFOs to modulate live audio, and it has the best color touchscreen audio interface I've seen in hardware. For $800 it'd be a 5. At $1300+ it's not.

Description
Highly musical step sequencer with analog filters.
The TORAIZ SP-16 sampler and step sequencer is the first such instrument in the TORAIZ line-up of music production tools for DJs and producers. TORAIZ 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. Load samples, create patterns, and add FX and loops, and manipulate their parameters to make your music truly your own.
Two line inputs (L/Mono & R, ¼” TS) and one MIDI input, eight line outs (1/4” TS), one MIDI Out/Thru and a headphone monitor. One LAN terminal and two USB ports (A and B).
