Roland AIRA Compact P-6 Creative Sampler
Roland and the art of sampling, was there ever a better combo? With the Roland P-6 Creative Sampler, that combo gets a lot smaller. Mash advanced Roland technology and inventive Roland design together and you get one of the most impressive micro-samplers around.
The Roland P-6 Creative Sampler boasts some real sampling muscle in its pocket-sized casing. Using an onboard microphone, analog inputs, or a smartphone via USB-C connection, players can easily tap into the P-6’s creative sampling capabilities. Sample anything anywhere for deeper experimentation and composition while taking advantage of the P-6’s deep effect pool. Once a sample is captured, partake in the many advanced granular sampling tools that come onboard the P-6. All with the P-6’s internal wizardry, players can detune, adjust granular shape, head position, head speed, spread and so much more. The power that comes with the P-6 offers extensive opportunities to get involved and creative with any sample.
Far from just a sampler, the Roland P-6 offers an onboard step sequencer capable of holding sixty-four-step patterns. Within these patterns, players can access advanced sequencing functionalities like motion recording, probability, micro-timing, off-grid sequencing and sub steps. Tapping into new realms of creative sampling, the extensive sequencing options available widen the spectrum for players to not only sample, but get rhythmic. These sequences are enhanced by a suite of onboard effects. For players seeking even further customization options, some favorite Roland effects land in the P-6 to go off-the-wall. Drop in a Vinyl Simulator, a DJFX Looper, a Stopper, a Lo-Fi filter, a phaser, a resonator and more to see the colors of Roland’s powerful digital sampling engine come alive.
These sampling and sequencing capabilities are topped off with great connectivity options. With built-in clock sync in/out and MIDI in/out accessible via TRS MIDI cables, the P-6 effortlessly dials into synth, sampling and sequencing rigs to bloom with synchronized uniformity. Assemble awesome synchronized sequences across multiple devices and hear Roland’s outstanding design bloom. For any sampler or synthesist – novice or experienced – the Roland P-6 punches well above its weight class. Hook it up and let your sampled compositions carry you away.
