Roland Aira Compact P-6 Creative Sampler packs renowned Roland sampling technology into a pocket-size gadget with sophisticated granular sound design options and a powerful sequencer. Equipped with an onboard mic, intuitive controls, USB-C connectivity and a versatile stash of hands-on effects, P-6 delivers exceptional sampling and performance capabilities anywhere you go.
Aira Compact P-6 is ideal for any level of music creator, from beginner to pro. Get started right away with top-level tactile controls and pads for jamming and sound tweaking. Then, go deeper with advanced features for cutting-edge sonic manipulation and performance.
Whether using the built-in mic, analog inputs or a smartphone via USB-C, P-6 is always ready to sample at a moment's notice. After capturing sounds, quickly chop longer samples into preset sections for triggering from the onboard keyboard. Or easily build custom collections of multiple sounds with streamlined Step Sampling. Want to rough up the sound? Get gritty with Roland's trademark lo-fi effects. Need some layers? Resample your creations to add depth and evolving complexity.
Step into a universe of microscopic sound design with the advanced granular sampling tools in Aira Compact P-6. Transform tiny moments into sonic landscapes with extensive sound design parameters. Detune samples, adjust the grain shape, play with head position, head speed, spread and more. From clean and pristine to beautifully mangled, it's easy to conjure new sound dimensions with a twist of a knob or a press of a button.
Breathe life into your sequences with deep features that push the boundaries of music programming. Jam with 64-step patterns powered by dynamic sequencing elements like motion recording, probability, micro-timing, off-grid sequencing and sub steps. Plus, manipulate playback in real time with Step Loop for instant stutter effects and creative improvisation.
Supercharge performances and production with an array of curated hands-on MFX. Transform and manipulate your sounds with legendary standbys and a selection of new classics. Grab and go with favorites like Vinyl Simulator, DJFX Looper, Stopper, Lo-fi, Scatter, Phaser and Resonator. Using BUS FX routing, selectively apply MFX or assign delay and reverb independently to any sample.
P-6 Sample Tool software for Mac OS and PC is a handy companion for editing and transferring samples from your computer to P-6. Clean up clicks with snap to zero, truncate to remove unwanted sections, normalize to standardize audio levels and downsample for reduced sample resolution. When you're ready, simply drag and drop the samples directly to the P-6 hardware for seamless integration and playback.
Aira Compact P-6 is immensely fun as a standalone instrument but becomes even more powerful when connected to other devices. Build a portable creative ecosystem by linking with S-1 Tweak Synth, T-8 Beat Machine and other Aira Compacts or gadget instruments. Take it further by streaming your entire gadget chain from P-6 to a smartphone, tablet or laptop over USB-C for content creation or easy integration with your favorite music software. The setup is plug and play, with no driver installation needed.
P-6 is as portable as it gets, ready to record anywhere you like. Create freely with up to three hours of lithium-ion battery life per charge, supported by a rugged Roland build that assures years of enjoyment ahead.
