I'm a huge fan of the Volca stuff: little boxes with a good - sometimes great - sound and a big "ease of use & fun" factor. Roland seems to take this approach into the modern age ... This sampler has a lot of power under the hood ... love it! Thanks a lot for this great demo

It has a shit ton of smart features (step sampling is one of my favs), but man it freaking has POLYPHONY! I don't get it why all the companies miss that. I mean... sampling a note and playing chords is super duper fun! Also... sampling a fixed amount of measures by tempo is also dope. I can hardly wait to jam with my Guitar & Bass Edit: Wow, the beat at 17:52 is really dope
I’m definitely considering one of these, looks and sounds great. Would be a different approach to writing little ideas. Have wanted to get back into old school sampling for a while. Love the lo-fi vibe!
Great little machine. I'm just not convinced with the lower sample rate possibility. The Lo-fi samples sound filtered, like with an anti-aliasing filter. I wish they sounded like on the good old samplers, with metallic top ends.
dammmm ! that is sweet little machine. this is what they call a 'no brainer' product. if that just had faders, it be hittin like the SP1200 workflow. but thats ok got me an s2400 anyway. insta buy for me. excited for this ..
It's of course insanely cool that Roland decided to add a creative sampler to their already cool setup. But why were you greedy with the sampling memory in 2024? 6 seconds of 44100 kHz mono in 2024. Are you serious, guys??? Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪Tallinn. ❤️
Not the only ones stingy with the memory, Nvidia likes to put 8GB vRAM card out in 2024 when most games need 12gb or more then charge out the ass for it, new phones don't have SD card slots much anymore too, its a trend I'm seeing in digital tech.
This is competition to the ep 133, it beats them both but the po33 is so much cheaper you can't really compare them Its game over for the ep 133 though.
If I were to buy all these fun toys and wanted to maintain a DAWless setup, which DAWless digital workstation would you recommend for recording, mixing, and mastering while keeping the entire studio mobile?
kind of doesnt make sense to be honest. If you run a DAW, why use that thing, just use a sampler VSTi, it will be far easier to work with, more powerful, and won't take up desk space. I think those toys are aimed at DAWless rigs, live setups, et cetra.
Is anyone else waiting for Roland to release a multitrack recorder? Something with Bluetooth headphone compatibility and a looper. The ability to nudge each track slightly out of sync would be interesting. I think that’s what Busta Rhymes does on ‘thank you’. I’ve got the T-8 and S-1, and yet, Roland could build something in the same form-factor to record my ideas.
@UCgvRQ9F8c_8ysaaJaqDNRLA love the channel. I don’t have much to add to the topic of ‘new Roland multitrack recorder’, except maybe an OLED display to make the device easier to use in bright sunshine. Perhaps Roland and yourself could open a topic to invite suggestions from other synth aficionados? 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi UA-cam community, I have a question for you. I am a ‘non-musical’ person, but I have a 16yo son who is musical. He plays Tenor & French horns in multiple bands & Orchestra’s (up to grade 7 so far). He has no prior experience with electronic music. These Aira Compact family of units look very capable, fun, and don’t break the bank, and I think might be of interest to my son. If you were to buy just one of these units as an introduction to electronic music creation (just to see if he takes to it or not), which of these units (P6, T8, S1, J6, E4) would you consider the best starter? Or, would you recommend something totally different (but in the same sort of price range)?
These are toys for people who already got a lot of gear. Get a digital audio workstation software (“DAW”), and maybe a simple controller keyboard. If he’s got a PC, get a USB audio interface, something inexpensive, like $100. If he’s got a Mac, no need for an interface. A simple software on computer is 10000x more powerful than this cute toy. Ableton seems to be the gold standard for electronic music You can get bundles with audio interface and ableton and some keyboard controllers online
@@OlegAryutkin many thanks for your response. You have answered the question that I was wondering - about using a PC + software to achieve a similar goal. Thank you. These Aira compact units do look like ‘fun’ though, even to a non-musical person. I did have a very subtle conversation with my son, and showed him part of this video. I’m surprised, but he said that he wasn’t that interested in creating his own music, he likes being given the sheet music and following those ‘instructions’ to play an ‘analogue’ instrument. I was really surprised at this response, as he spends a lot of time on computers, so figured creating music digitally would appeal, but evidently not. So, I probably won’t be buying an Aria Compact unit now.
@@TheLDunn1 he might come to this naturally. or not. Millions of musicians (professionals and hobbyists) are not interested in creating music on computer, or writing music at all. Many just want to experience connection with their instrument and no other "distractions". Usually these are the ones who play the best :)
@@OlegAryutkin thank you. Yes, this seems to describe my son well, just enjoys playing his instruments in bands. As a non-musical person, I’ve struggled to understand this, I’m an engineer by profession, and a keen photographer, I enjoy the creativity side of things, as maybe incorrectly, assumed my son would like the musical creative side. I don’t think my son will ever be ‘one of the better players’ though, he doesn’t practice enough, just seems to really like playing in his various groups.
The J6 Chord synth would probably be the easiest for your kid to play with, but the S1 tweak synth might be a little more fun to experiment with shaping synth sound waves. The J8 is a drum machine with a bass synth wich would be good making music with more rhythmic structure. The P6 Sampler might be the most complicated of all but there is limitless possibilities because you can make music out of anything. Any sound can be used as an instrument. Good for using your imagination creatively.The E4 voice tweak is more like a toy. Fun but it seems more like a toy for people that can't really sing. Though it might be useful as an effects unit for running other music instruments through to come up with interesting or unusual sounds. Even though others have recommended getting your kid a computer music setup I think if I was a kid and was given the choice I think the Roland Aira Compact series instruments would look like a lot more fun to get my hands on and immediately play with instead of a boring much more complicated looking computer. Kids just want to have fun. Computers are enjoyable to use when you're older and more mature. Just my opinion. It's your choice to do what you think is best for him. I think it's great that you want to get him into making music at young age. Good luck.
Mine's on the way! A quick question... The guy's got the big Lightnining Camera Adaptor while plugging in the phone. Wouldn't a USB-C to lightning data cable work? Cheers.
I've taken my t-8 on a few trips. You'll be surprised how much time you can lose with just bass and drums. Add a sampler to the mix and you won't see me for weeks.
@@alanredversangel it’s definitely a well needed add to the series… have all of them and you’d be able to create a whole interesting one person live set
@@TigroGuminah, he's right. For a mixer to use while traveling about, it has to be the TX-6. The BlueBox isn't even battery powered. The TX-6 is tiny, battery-powered, and totally awesome
Looks like there are a number of Roland products under embargo that are slowly coming out, still waiting for the Juno-DS replacement. When is it coming out Jack? 😄 What's the price point for this P6?
does the keyboard play each sample at the same speed? Or do the lower notes play a slowed down version of the sample, while the higher notes on the keyboard play a sped up version of the sample?
curious when you use the app can you load the step samples via the app so that you can just take a number of individual hits and make kits out of it or do you need to manually sample them
Just connect to a 10,000 mah power bank and you have infinite hours for play. But playing for a few hours, changing my rechargeable batteries in 10 seconds and continuing for hours is something very unique
Only draw back is no SD card slot or memory upgrade, I have Pixel 8a phone and it too because of its IP rating there is no SD card slot, instead it lets me put a USB-C flash drive into it and I can copy my content to the flash drive to free up room, sucks this doesn't have this option, and no line in is a drawback as well other than that I like it.
Phones have no sd cards so they can sell you more storage at a premium price. nothing to do with IP rating since itsall build in the simtray. You talking much nonsense i must say because what would a sampler be without a line in? it has a line in on the top.
DISPOSABLE BATTERIES = disposable products. There needs to be a new standardized battery or companies need to cope with the AA. I like being able to carry a bag of extra batteries, I have a bag where I keep them bagged in sets. I keep ready to go 12 AAs at all times 6 in the SP404 and 6 on standby 🥰💙
I realllly don’t like the 3 hours, I hope this is able to swap out those batteries, batteries permanently built into anything scream temporary. I realllllly hope Roland is smart enough to know musicians like green things.
@AndertonsKeyboardDept-n9l And i absolutely agree for that ;).JK...more seriously...i m a french guy and i absolutely love your videos...thank u for your job and fun.
What am I missing? The Circuit Rhythm seems to have all these features in superior lay out. What makes this one special? Don't get me wrong, I have the E4, J6 and S1. Love them. But don't see what makes this special...
Amazing how they actually sell their lack of memory and therefore turning down the resolution with the beauty of "low fi". That is "Its not a bug, its a feature" 2.0 I said it before amd I say it again "LOW FI" is just a made up fancy word for people working with crap or not knowing what a DI Box does. Period.
I used to be a product demonstrator for Roland UK, and was given the first JP-8000 in the country to play with. Soon after this they introduced Groove Products, MC-303 and so on. They sucked from that point on, I begged them to introduce something like a reissue of their classics (not those Boutique toys) but they weren't interested. Their strap line used to read 'We Design The Future', now it should read 'We Make Crappy Little Toys'. It's such a shame that the same company who brought us classics that shaped so much electronic music over the decades now seem to have run out of ideas and continue to recycle the same junk every few years.
I agree totally. Roland used to be the brand everyone wanted. Now they hold the world record for how many products they can make with the same stuff inside.
@@paulc7798 Sadly Roland are not the only ones recycling to milk dry their customers. Each time a 'new' synth is produced I think it's nothing new; actually worse in many cases. They all sound the same to me, but more clinical, almost VST like, and not nearly as warm as the originals. Another problem is investing any finance into gear when music pays nothing unless huge tours and merchandise; Spotify and similar companies are a joke where 'payment' is concerned. The internet has destroyed the music 'business'.
@@annother3350 If I wasn't I'd buy something better. These Aira things are great for the money. I've taken my T-8 on holiday, the kids have played with it while waiting for things, I've recorded with it. The limitations don't really affect how fun or useful they are for me to be honest.
I'm a huge fan of the Volca stuff: little boxes with a good - sometimes great - sound and a big "ease of use & fun" factor. Roland seems to take this approach into the modern age ... This sampler has a lot of power under the hood ... love it!
Thanks a lot for this great demo

Same!
It has a shit ton of smart features (step sampling is one of my favs), but man it freaking has POLYPHONY!
I don't get it why all the companies miss that. I mean... sampling a note and playing chords is super duper fun!
Also... sampling a fixed amount of measures by tempo is also dope. I can hardly wait to jam with my Guitar & Bass
Edit: Wow, the beat at 17:52 is really dope
All samplers have polyphony it wouldn’t really be a sampler then
Digitakt 2 does not and costs $999
I can see it being good if you have seriously restricted space. But a laptop and small midi controller is so much easier to use and more powerful.
@@blastofoand nowhere near as fun

My first thought as well. It’s like a 1989 sampler. What does this have, 0.5 megabytes of sample RAM? Like an Akai sampler from 1989?
There's not only 6 seconds of sampling time?
Because Nips are notoriously
sadistic.

This sampler is CRAZY. Roland did a fantastic job cramming so many great feature into this thing. KO 2 killer?
This thing looks like it stomps the ko 2 and starts dating its mum afterwards, wish this had come out before the ko 2...
For lo-fi the bit-rate is more important than the sample-rate.
eh it’s 2 different sound ‘effects’. lowering the sample rate gives you those nice aliasing artifacts
I disagree

Just what the world needed another fart recorder.😜
This is a total sp202
What am I missing? The Circuit Rhythm seems to have all these features in superior lay out. What makes this one special? Don't get me wrong, I have the E4, J6 and S1. Love them. But don't see what makes this special...
Cuz this things half the price?
Its £100 more expensive
@@baronvongreenback not here in Canada.
@@baronvongreenback fair point. Although I bought it new for €200

6 seconds??? Are you serious??? Lmao... What a joke... Next...
do not like lithium ion battery this shit has to stop jeez
Just get the ko2 trust me :)
Ko2 sucks bro. TE makes overpriced toys for kids that dont know anything bout making music.
After doing 4000 videos, I'd of thought you would of learnt to set the shutter speed
Amazing how they actually sell their lack of memory and therefore turning down the resolution with the beauty of "low fi".
That is "Its not a bug, its a feature" 2.0
I said it before amd I say it again "LOW FI" is just a made up fancy word for people working with crap or not knowing what a DI Box does. Period.
Some of us actually like the lofi sound 🤷🏻♂️
I used to be a product demonstrator for Roland UK, and was given the first JP-8000 in the country to play with. Soon after this they introduced Groove Products, MC-303 and so on. They sucked from that point on, I begged them to introduce something like a reissue of their classics (not those Boutique toys) but they weren't interested. Their strap line used to read 'We Design The Future', now it should read 'We Make Crappy Little Toys'. It's such a shame that the same company who brought us classics that shaped so much electronic music over the decades now seem to have run out of ideas and continue to recycle the same junk every few years.
Nurse! Grandpa's out of bed again!
@@schmapps1 Yep, the Roland line of products is getting very old.
I agree totally. Roland used to be the brand everyone wanted. Now they hold the world record for how many products they can make with the same stuff inside.
@@paulc7798 Sadly Roland are not the only ones recycling to milk dry their customers. Each time a 'new' synth is produced I think it's nothing new; actually worse in many cases. They all sound the same to me, but more clinical, almost VST like, and not nearly as warm as the originals. Another problem is investing any finance into gear when music pays nothing unless huge tours and merchandise; Spotify and similar companies are a joke where 'payment' is concerned. The internet has destroyed the music 'business'.
OK boomer!
A rainbow setup wow perfect just what everyone wanted lol what a damn joke
Crap lil sampler that doesn’t hold a candle to the ko2 what a piece of crap and they are deleting negative comments bs
Almost a year on and I STILL don't have resample or pattern chain on my ko2...
Are u joking just use a cable easy watch a video boom pattern chains are instant
@@Tripwelleverday Link? also, what's your solution for the lack of resample?
Only kids buy TE gear sincce they fall for the looks and have zero tech skills. We all know the sp 404 mk2 is the king/
@@TheChameleon2008 obvs you haven’t had a ko2
less than 6s of mono sample memory @ 44.1k is a joke
Maybe you're just not very creative?
@@alanredversangel That drum loop he demonstrated - Theres probably not enough sample time left for a variation or couple of fills - you ok with that?
@@alanredversangela granular sampler needs more sample time. this is just cheaping out by roland. pot and kettle on the creative front!
@@annother3350 If I wasn't I'd buy something better. These Aira things are great for the money. I've taken my T-8 on holiday, the kids have played with it while waiting for things, I've recorded with it. The limitations don't really affect how fun or useful they are for me to be honest.
It's 5.9 sec. per sample, not total. With 6 pads x 8 banks that's over 4 1/2 minutes of total sample time at full resolution.
The only thing a doofy-faced thumbnail gets from me is a thumbs down. Get some dignity.
