Description

Quickly and easily add lush 4-voice chord arrangements to your songs with the Roland AIRA Compact J-6 Chord Synthesizer.
This ultraportable song creation machine pairs a powerful and intuitive
chord sequencer with a rich four-voice JUNO-60 synthesizer emulation
powered by Roland’s ACB sound engine. You don’t need to be an
experienced musician to use the J-6, the unit includes 100 chord sets
spanning multiple contemporary musical genres, making it easy to call up
a set and create complex chord progressions on the fly by playing the
rubber-pad keyboard with a single finger.

Dial up one of the 64
ready-to-play synth presets derived from the legendary JUNO and create
up to 64 patterns using the 64-step sequencer. Add arpeggios and
rhythmic phrases using 9 available styles, each with 12 variations.
Sculpt the synth in real time using filter and envelope controls, and
add customizable reverb and delay FX to sweeten the sound. The J-6
features a class-compliant USB interface for audio and MIDI as well as
MIDI I/O connections that allow you to interface with other AIRA
compacts and MIDI gear. Power is supplied via USB, but the built-in
rechargeable battery means you can take your creativity anywhere.

 

Chord Heaven
With
100 chord sets spanning a wide range of genres, you’ll always find
fresh fuel for songs and jams with the J-6. There’s no need to know
chords or theory to make cool music—simply call up a set and compose
chord progressions on the fly with one-touch presses on the keyboard.
Generate ideas for new tunes, create accompaniment for live
performances, or send chord information to other MIDI gear.
 
Move and Groove
Using
the J-6’s style banks and variations, it’s easy to infuse static chords
with dynamic energy and compelling movement. Transform an idea with
sweeping arpeggios and rhythmic phrases, and keep the groove running
nonstop with a press of the hold button.
 
Create Your Next Hit
Once
you’ve got a chord progression in mind, bring it together with the J-6
chord sequencer. There are 64 patterns with up to 64 steps each, and you
can quickly enter chords, style variations, single notes, and tempo
changes in each step to mold your masterpieces.

Filters and Effects
After
you’ve captured a pattern on the J-6, hit play and inject even more
color with tactile controls. Select different synth presets, tweak the
filter and envelope in real time, and complete the picture with
customizable reverb and delay effects.
 
Historic JUNO Sound
The
J-6 puts the influential synth sound behind decades of hits in your
pocket or backpack. The acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB)
technology realizes the famous JUNO-60 voice in exacting detail,
complete with 64 presets derived from the original. Use the J-6 engine
with the chord sequencer, play it from the onboard keyboard or an
external MIDI controller, or use it as a sound module in an expanded
setup.
 
Expand Your Vision
The
J-6 has the connectivity you need to integrate with other AIRA Compacts
and larger music rigs. Back your chord creations with drums and bass
from the T-8 Beat Machine and add evocative vocal textures with the E-4
Voice Tweaker (both available separately). Or interface with computer
DAWS, mobile music apps, and hardware instruments via USB-C or MIDI.
 
Everywhere at Once
Compact
and convenient, the J-6 is ready to deliver instant inspiration
everywhere you go. The lithium-ion battery provides up to 4.5 hours of
runtime per charge, while the rugged build ensures years of musical
pleasure.
