Your P-6 videos are exactly what i was looking for. I sing, and also play guitar and bass; Good content on the P-6 from the point of view of an intrumentalist is a rare find. I really appreciate you posting your videos. Now I have to try one of these out. Cheers!

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you for watching. I’m happy the videos connect with you. As someone who seems to make music in a similar way, I’d say you’ll enjoy the P-6. Give it a few days to learn and you’ll be up and running.

[@kidzorro]

I love watching your skate videos, and all of a sudden you're reviewing the P-6, and making good music too! You're my hero, keep it up!

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thanks for killing time with me 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[@sakkemakke]

Pure joy to watch and listen! Have had my P-6 five days now and it sure packs a bunch! Max amount of notes playing simultaneously is the only bummer, but then again, less is usually more!

[@2ndDayRiffs]

You described me. I'm a guitar player for 35 years. I love making beats but, like you said, there not a lot of beat producer videos where they play a real instrument. Subscribed.

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you for watching and for subscribing 🙏🏾

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

You actually give one of the most direct tutorials on using the Roland P-6! Thanks a lot and I just subscribed to your channel because of it! The world needs more videos on how and why to combine gear versus using them in isolation! A looper is not necessary with the P-6 on hand! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🎯🎯🏆🏆🏆

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you so much. I try to think of interesting combinations, and make videos showing methods I’d be curious to see myself.

[@Kevinschart]

You can do this with just about any budget groove box or sampler. The issue is that you can't record separate parts while monitoring your beat. You have to increase your budget to $1k or use two samplers at once

[@kevin040160]

I stopped listening to this KZbin video on my phone and am watching it on a tablet with a desktop computer sound system. Sounds great! 😎👍

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you so much. This little thing has great sound. Surprised me. As did the sound from the Teenage Engineering Medieval. Amazing the sound quality you get, for cheap, these days.

[@stefanschwytz3548]

Great Vid - Thanks for your P-6 Videos - this is much more intuitive than any marketing stuff... keep rockin!

[@dreadwardbernays]

Much appreciated! Thanks for checking them out.

[@lbrtscutz1050]

I ordered one....I can't wait to jam with it....

[@dreadwardbernays]

You’ll have lots of fun!

[@aapillusions]

I just got my P6 about two weeks ago and have been looking for some good tutorials to get me through the learning curve. Your video was one of the best for this simple direct to the point and very helpful. As a result, I hit like and subscribed and I am looking forward to more videos on the P6. Take care, brother.

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you for the view/like/sub/comment. But, more importantly, welcome to the P-6 Cult 😂 A little bit of hate for this thing online. But, I think, once you play with it, you can’t help falling in love. So much fun.

[@aapillusions]

@@dreadwardbernays It would probably generate half as much hate if it came with better documentation. I've been away from this stuff on the hardware end since the 90's when I had a Roland D-20 Synth and S-550 Sampler. Both were killer pieces of hardware back in the day (esp the S-550) but the documentation was awful. I know I'll love this thing once I've mastered it but it took me forever to create my first bass and drum pattern not because it's rocket science but because it's not overly intuitive. You helped me break through some ice though so thanks again.

[@scarab944]

That looks like a lot of fun. Agreed on the HX Stomp sounding great!

[@LesDremlet]

Broken Bones!🤘🤘

[@BirdManBeats]

super nice bass man, good vid

[@etyrnal]

i bought the Roland AIRA S-1 tweak synth to have something to either program to sync along with the P-6, or to sample the S-1 to extend the abilities of the P-6. Mostly to round out my 'portable music toys' sceario

[@dreadwardbernays]

Having the P-6 has made me curious about the other AIRAs too. Having a few of them chained could be fun.

[@The_Sonic_Ally]

hey, just got my p6 and your channel has come up. similar to you i do the mpc, bass, guitars n shit. hiphop jazz etc, man this P6 has stolen the show for me, so im go from mpckey61 to the P6 for bass input. tbh i never been so inpsired before on any of my machines.. this thing might be the glue i need. i must have made 8 beats yesterday without even learning it. its crazy but im going to use the s2400 to get even more lofi going. i didnt think about using my instruments into it so thanks for showing how it easy is. new sub. Stone Roses. im uk and im from Blackpool where they started the musical revolution, august in 89, i was there bro, right there for that. Epic times and exactly why why i started making music way back. then gave up then started again 2020 lol. roses fan, awesome. haha

[@dreadwardbernays]

So glad I’m not the only one inspired by this thing. Also dope to hear from another MPC-instrumentalist. 8 beats in a day is crazy. I’ve been too busy, and struggling to crank out a couple each week, over the past month. Stone Roses are one of my favorite bands, ever. Sick that you’re from Blackpool.

[@etyrnal]

I'm stoked to have been helpful. each one teach one

[@donut5718]

What you're doing is beautiful and Amazing.My homie was in a band and when I would tag along I would see all these types of things. I never really liked touching or mess around with them but whenever I will see something out of place I used to put it away for the homie.

[@dreadwardbernays]

Musicians are messy af. I'm sure they were stoked to have you around. Tour Manager by nature!

[@donut5718]

@@dreadwardbernays I think you're right I graduated 2015 the homie let me drink a beer on his drum set which was very rare :) best wishes bro keep up the hard work always happy to hear from you

Thanks for the count in tip!

[@skydevaaben]

Cool use of P6 with pluck instruments. Inspiring 😊😊😊 Looks fun!

So much fun!

Make some tutorial videos for this unit my guy. This was really helpful. Good work

[@toastoftowne1076]

Very helpful thank you.

[@dustyaudio]

Regal Bass DI shout out! Do you use the fx loop block? Works great with synths and stereo effects. I’d love to see a p-6 into the Hx stomp, into the mpc maybe?

[@dreadwardbernays]

I just used the loop block, for the first time, a couple of months ago. Planning to use it more. Definitely gonna use the P-6, Stomp, MPC, and Model 12, together in a video.

[@bustacusta1746]

Nice work!

[@strangesevin]

I'm with you with this machine I'm goijg to be reciving soon . Love your channel and mindset your a great player you sound great man I subscribed to your channel I'll start recording some stuff and I'm going to figure out how to make a set on this thing I video those open mic shows soon . I'd say with a.loop pedal on top would be cool then you could make changes I feel I'll have to see . Great job great channel

[@dreadwardbernays]

I was afraid of solo shows. But the MPC ONE helped. Take your time.

[@johnwhitmore2531]

Brilliant music and video but one question is what you connect the output of the P6 to? It's outputting Bass, Drum and guitar samples, so quite a frequency range. Then you're playing a guitar through a JC40 so whatever you're playing samples through has range and can compete?

[@dreadwardbernays]

Thank you! The P-6 is connected to my Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. It’s a big Bluetooth speaker, with a good frequency response, that you can get for cheap. I love that thing, when I’m not in the garage, where my monitors live.

[@Lo_Scum]

That’s how!🤙

[@dreadwardbernays]

👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[@aurozappa305]

Its might possible to chain the songs together

[@dreadwardbernays]

You can definitely create patterns close to each other, and then, trigger them in whichever order. Might take some getting used to.

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Like it real - no AI bs !

[@etyrnal]

THis video was nice. It's cool to show people your creative process! Dear Roland firmware gods, It would be a cool, simple firmware update, to add a tap temp detector/set to the system menu... IIf only we could: press SHIFT-MENU, dial to a menu item called t.tnp, press enter to start tap tempo detection, then just start tapping any pad, and the machine will calculate the tempo and display it while tapping. Used to find the tempo of samples you're getting ready to record, or a musical idea in your head... Press exit button to exit, leaving the P-6 tempo UNCHANGED, or, press ENTER to SET the tempo of the current pattern to the detected tempo. Thanks in advance.

[@TheMcguffinfiles]

[@aurozappa305]

what thats crazy .

[@snörre23]

Who is this for ? Why are you messing with it when you have a MPC and can use this. I know that i will never have the patience to learn MPC or Digitakt but i think this Roland P-6 might be too limited and toy like. As far as i understand you cant save the contents of the whole thing.

[@dreadwardbernays]

You can save your projects. This is a toy, compared to an MPC. But, it’s a useful toy. Very easy to setup, doesn’t need to be plugged in. After a couple of hours, you’re able to turn it on, and record your ideas. Nothing will replace an MPC/Maschine/DAW…etc.

[@etyrnal]

you can definitely back up the entire thing, it just unfortunately takes five steps
