Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland Aira Compact J-6. Is this preset synth version of Rolands classic Juno emulation usable for professional music production and why did they put in a chord sequencer that seems like the lovechild of an 80s Casiotone accompaniment section and a Unison Midi Chord Pack? Is it better than a Korg Volca?

For some reason I continue to believe that it's possible to simply listen to an episode of Bad Gear in the background while doing something else even tho I'm fully aware that it's impossible NOT to pause it every 2.7 seconds in order to read every single meme.

@kimwjustice Год назад

You just pause? I pause then hit back arrow and then fiddle with "," and "." (single frame step) until I've caught them all. Maybe.

I just hang out in the same meme groups and assume I've seen them already. Makes watching the episode less anxiety ridden

@whormongrmuzik Год назад

yeah I have had it for a while and it is actually really fun - especially if you have the e-4 too because you can use the chords to midi control autotune with sequences/one key

@lozziemouthmoray4001 Год назад

Yep, I agree, I use it a lot. I have been sequencing mostly hardware for about 25 years. I can't play keyboard and don't care much for "music theory". So I move notes around in a grid until I like what I hear. The J6 adds some musical clichés (grown up chords and cheesy phrases) to a mix that I would not otherwise sequence. The contrast between preset clichés and acidy synth lines has been very useful. I can usually find a suitable sound from the limited preset patches (hey it's a juno) But for extra sound design, I use it to sequence my old Dave Smith Tetra. Any old poly synth will do.

@TokeStorm420 Год назад

I recently obtained a new Roland TB-3 and absolutely love it! After seeing it featured in so many of your jams was what really solidified my decision to get one. It’s easier to program than the original (and the Behringer TD-3), plus it has extra sounds and effects to boot. I had the Behringer TD-3 and RD-6 and loved the sounds, but programming them took away from the creative flow. So, I sold ‘em. The Roland TB-3 is a breath of fresh air when it comes to a smooth, creative workflow. It has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of gear! Thank you for showcasing the TB-3 so often in your videos. There may be hate for it, but seriously I can’t understand why. The build quality is solid and the look actually appeals to me (to each their own). I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to program bass line synth. Happy Holidays!!!

The J6 is one of my favorite piece of gear in years. Its presets are barely tweakable but Roland knocks presets out of the park. I use it for indispensable tasks in my music. I think it is one of the craziest arps ever when you count the patterns.

That extra ironic "Roland, we missed you" hit the spot. 😂 But thanks for giving the J-6 a spin as I so shamelessly requested a review of it to know if I (who can't play other cords than C, G and F) could have use of it in my dawless setup. Must say the LoFi tune was excellent. I just sit here and wonder what sounds are from the J-6. It sounds too good.❤ I'll keep the J-6 on my "If I find it cheap I'll grab it"-list! Congrats on the new addition to the family btw! I remember how much you hated on the TB3 in the beginning but you sure have warmed up to that one since you got another one to keep it company.

I really honestly want Roland to just release the sequencer as a stand-alone product. I'm an mid keys player but have a deep knowledge of theory and a teeny device with 2-4 tracks of that just spitting out midi into my daw would be an amazing workflow enhancer.

@tuftyindigo Год назад

I kind of agree but I want one with a display that shows you all the chord names in a row so you can easily play along to it, and I don't think Roland has ever given a product a big enough display to show more than two chord names... if they made a tablet it would have a four-digit seven-segment display with multitouch.

@itaydagani1704 Год назад

I bought the J-6 and I want to write one point about it - yes, it is a preset player with very limited synth params (filter cutoff/resonance, envelope attack/release and reverb/delay) but even with these and a little knowledge of making sounds you can make many more sounds on it than just the 64, I made nice pads out of plucks, nice plucks out of pads, new bass types, etc the one BIG issue with this synth is that there is no way to use automation to change even the limited params of the synth so come on Roland, in 2022 every hardware or software synth has midi cc to control the synth parameters, give us a firmware update that allows us to do the above. Otherwise AudioPilz is right that this is a joke

@Kpm1985 Год назад

I don’t own one of these, but have considered it. Your video only made me want it more :) I think its best use case hinges on: the ability to sequence a different arp pattern + chord on a per step basis and the fact that it can midi control other gear. That makes it an incredible tool for creating your own interesting samples to later mangle (which is my preferred way to make electronic music as opposed to straight up composing with synths)

Awesome review! While I may not have the most bad gear that's been on this channel I think I'm definitely in the top 10%. Thanks for keeping me in the running (again)! I love this little box. I think the J-6 is the most fun and creative device in the Aira mini line. It's also really useful for quickly putting chord progressions into external gear or DAWs like Ableton. I like to use the J-6 to send basic legato chords into my DAW and then add the ChordPotion MIDI VST to these chord tracks to really add more spice and variety. It's a great combo.

I think this device is going to be a huge hit with non-keyboard players, as I think there are many producers, guitarists etc who'd love to get some synth chords into their songs without having to learn to play keys or find keyboard players. But I also have such mixed feelings about this unit. I own a Roland Juno-DS, which I really like for its massive layering capabilities and a friendly-enough UI, but it has so little in it from the Juno 60/Juno 106 series, that it doesn't really deserve to be named after them. I think Roland should have really included more of these sounds into the DS instead of loading it with hundreds of harsh EDM sounds and creating yet another little separate unit that doesn't even have proper DIN MIDI inputs and needs special 1/8" TRS to MIDI type A cables for it to collaborate with my DS. It might be worth a try, but I think I'd be better off with a refurbed Juno 60 instead of buying things peacemeal like this and dealing with serious limitations of such approach.

@JJohnkkttran Год назад

You put it best here when you were pointing out that even with the lack of knobs here, the features in this box are still more than what most use on a regular basis. Roland since day one has been trying to simplify UX on their keyboards. Even the original Junos sort of ask "what if we could make our Jupiters more accessible to the average player". They achieved perfection there, and it looks like they once again tried to strip things back here. The sequencer looks interesting, and if it is capable of midi out could make this thing a sleeper hit. On the flip side, Korg has been UX focused as well, but with a different approach. The Univox K1 is a simplified synth that has access to all the parameters a knob tweaker would want. The Volcas, which originally were based off of this synth take the same approach. As a result they're a bigger success as they allow beginners to grow with them, and allow pros to find some use in them as well.

Under 230 this week! Wooo...Never fancied the Aira but your demo makes it a little more desirable.

I love the channel for the memes and the shade thrown at the gear but honestly I haven't watched one episode of Bad Gear where the tracks you made weren't fire. The gear may be bad but the musician can def make up for whatever may be lacking, thanks so much for the content!!

Thank you so much!!!

It's weird, I know...

Yamaha dx (4 operators) As dx7 (6 operators) clone 😂😂😂

Sounds good to me, and the hability to play chords on my own is a great plus. Junos are mostly used as a pad, synthbrass or bass machine. This one can do all.

@AudioPilz Год назад

The synth engine is really nice!

Nice drum sounds on that last jam. What are those? Thanks for the videos man , I appreciate it. I was thinking about picking one of these up for the chord progression generator , but I should probably just bust out the old chord book.

Thanks!!! That's a semi legal break from a 90s sample CD;)

Subscribed after watching a bunch of videos. Love the style, no BS and lovely musical snippets using the gear. My first ‘synth’ was an Yamaha SY85 all the way back in ‘93 costing me a whopping £1,000! I still have it and I loved it, but I’m sure most hated the thing. I’d love to see if you think it’s faired in 2022 and what you can do with one.

Thanks, stick around!!! Great suggestion!

I'm still figuring out everything it can do and this is dope. 😂

I’ve heard that Roland are working on a new drum machine that contains 606, 707, 808 and 909 drum sounds. Can’t wait!!!

@AudioPilz Год назад

Do you mean the MC-303?;)

I weirdly love the Rolca vocal processor. That thing is a sleeper classic processor. You can use it on anything. It’s crazy. I love that they have internal battery. 🥰

@rorz999 Год назад

I still need to pick that one up!

@AudioPilz Год назад

Recently gave it a try during the Patreon vocoder shoutout. It's quite similar to the VT-4/3 I guess...

As always, funny and fab video fella. Together, the j-6 and Blackbox are terrific travel companions. God bless multi-sample! BUT those barely readable buttons are a real bloody nightmare.

@AudioPilz Год назад

Thank you so much!!! Mmmmh, Blackbox...

Every Friday I have to remember to not start drinking until I've watched Bad Gear because the memes fly by too fast when you're not fully sober.

@AudioPilz Год назад

Yeah, gotta be fit for that;)

@h2o1969 Год назад

Even thought the specs sound terrible, You made the jams sound pretty good. Watching your show, I am starting to think I should have kept the tb-3.

@AudioPilz Год назад

Thanks! TB-3s are super affordable atm

@adastra123 Год назад

I was on the fence about getting a j6. It was the size and portability that interested me. But the tones would annoy me after a while. I'm glad I saw this. I will hold off for something else. I loved the " HOLD " meme and auto. Still laughing 🤣. Great video as usual.

@AudioPilz Год назад

Thanks!!!

But seriously, I make cool chords and sequences on a train, then it shows up as an audio interface on my iPad and plays my Moogs and Synthmasters in it, I LIKE

Nice technique!
