General

Pioneer's Toraiz SQUID is a multitrack sequencer that will help you unlock your creativity and aid your workflow. It's possible to connect up to 16 pieces of hardware that will make the SQUID the beating heart of your entire setup. It's packed full of possibilities that make it easy to effortlessly create unique patterns and phrases.

SQUID: innovative functions!

One of the most interesting functions on the SQUID is known as 'Groove Bend'. This gives you full control over the rhythm of the sequencer using a fader. It allows you to easily change the trigger timing in real time and is something that's not been seen on a multitrack sequencer before. 'Running direction' is a function that lets you create multiple new phrases from a single sequence pattern by changing its playback direction using the 16 pads. There are plenty of other functions on board too including step edit, time warp, speed modulation, phase arrangement, harmonizer and interpolation. In short, the Pioneer SQUID can do just about anything you can think of!

Toraiz SQUID with software

When you use the SQUID with software, there are even more possibilities! The SQUID Manager makes it easy to transfer patterns, files and clips between the SQUID and your DAW and you can easily backup entire projects too! It's safe to say the SQUID is aptly named because it gives you so many possibilities, you may feel like you've got eight arms too!
