Roland P-6 AIRA Compact Creative Sampler

It's time to unleash your creativity with the Roland P-6 AIRA Compact Creative Sampler, a pocket-sized powerhouse that brings Roland's legendary sampling technology to your fingertips. This compact device is perfect for musicians of all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros, offering sophisticated granular sound design options and a robust sequencer to elevate your music production.

The P-6 is equipped with an onboard microphone, intuitive controls, and USB-C connectivity, making it a versatile tool for capturing and manipulating sounds on the go. With its hands-on MFX, you can explore a wide range of effects and performance capabilities wherever inspiration strikes. Whether you're using the built-in mic, analog inputs, or connecting via USB-C to a smartphone, the P-6 is always ready to sample at a moment's notice. Once you've captured your sounds, you can quickly chop longer samples into preset sections for easy triggering from the onboard keyboard or build custom sound collections with streamlined Step Sampling.

Dive into the world of granular sound design with the P-6's advanced tools, allowing you to transform tiny sound snippets into expansive sonic landscapes. Adjust parameters like detuning, grain shape, head position, and speed to create anything from clean, pristine audio to beautifully mangled textures. The P-6 reimagines sequencing with its 64-step patterns, featuring dynamic elements such as motion recording, probability, micro-timing, off-grid sequencing, and sub steps. Real-time manipulation is a breeze with Step Loop, enabling instant stutter effects and creative improvisation.

Enhance your performances with a curated selection of hands-on effects, including Vinyl Simulator, DJFX Looper, Stopper, Lo-fi, Scatter, Phaser, and Resonator. The BUS FX routing allows you to selectively apply MFX or assign delay and reverb independently to any sample, giving you complete control over your sound.

The P-6 SampleTool software for macOS and Windows complements your creative process by allowing you to edit and transfer samples seamlessly from your computer to the P-6. Clean up audio with features like snap to zero, truncate, normalize, and downsample, then drag and drop your samples directly to the hardware for smooth integration and playback.

Expand your musical ecosystem by connecting the P-6 with other AIRA Compacts like the S-1 Tweak Synth and T-8 Beat Machine, or stream your entire setup to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop over USB-C for content creation and easy integration with your favorite music software. The plug-and-play setup requires no driver installation, making it simple to connect and create.

With up to three hours of lithium-ion battery life per charge and a rugged Roland build, the P-6 is designed for portability and durability, ensuring you can create music anywhere, anytime. Whether you're in the studio or on the move, the Roland P-6 AIRA Compact Creative Sampler is your ultimate tool for innovative sound exploration and performance.
