Sound magic for everyone.
The P-6 is ideal for music makers of any level: from beginner to professional. You can get started right away with top-level tactile controls and pads to jam and tweak your sound. Then go deeper with advanced features for groundbreaking sound manipulation and performance.
Smooth sampling.
Whether you use the built-in microphone, analog inputs or a smartphone via USB-C, the P-6 is always ready to sample. After capturing sounds, you can quickly cut up longer samples into preset sections to trigger them via the built-in keyboard. Or easily build personalized collections of multiple sounds with streamlined Step Sampling. Want to make the sound rougher? Opt for rawness with our signature lo-fi effects. Want layers? Resample your creations to add depth and evolving complexity.
Dive into the details.
Step into a universe of microscopic sound design with the advanced detailed sampling tools in the P-6. Transform small moments into soundscapes with comprehensive sound design parameters. Detune samples, adjust grain shape, play with the position and speed of virtual (tape) heads, dispersion and more. From clean and pristine to beautifully mangled, it's easy to conjure up new sound dimensions at the turn of a knob or the press of a key.
Sequencing reinvented.
Breathe life into your sequences with in-depth features that push the boundaries of music programming. Jam with 64-step patterns powered by dynamic sequencing elements such as motion recording, probability, micro-timing, off-grid sequencing and sub-steps. Plus, you can manipulate playback in real time with Step Loop for instant stutter effects and creative improvisations.
Hands-on effects.
Put a turbo on your performances and productions with an array of curated, hands-on multi-effects (MFX). Transform and manipulate your sounds with legendary effects and a selection of new classics. Use favorites like Vinyl Simulator, DJFX Looper, Stopper, Lo-fi, Scatter, Phaser and Resonator. BUS FX routing lets you selectively apply MFX or assign delay and reverb independently to each sample.
P-6 SampleTool.
The P-6 SampleTool software for macOS and Windows is a handy companion for editing and transferring samples from your computer to the P-6. Remove click sounds with snap to zero, truncate to remove unwanted sections, normalize to standardize audio levels and downsample for lower sample resolution. When you're done, just drag the samples directly to the P-6 hardware for seamless integration and playback.
Connect to the world.
The P-6 is tremendous fun as a stand-alone instrument, but it becomes even more powerful when connected to other devices. Build a portable creative ecosystem by pairing with the S-1 Tweak Synth, T-8 Beat Machine and other AIRA Compacts or gadget instruments. Take it a step further by streaming your entire gadget chain from the P-6 to a smartphone, tablet or laptop via USB-C, to create content, or for easy integration with your favorite music software. Setup is plug and play, with no drivers to install.
Anywhere at once.
The P-6 is as portable as it gets, ready to record anywhere you want. Create freely with up to three hours of lithium-ion battery life per charge, backed by rugged Roland construction that guarantees years of enjoyment.
