Why I like using the Roland P-6

[@paulvincent5363]

Brilliant. Thank you. Was just wondering if you use it in conjunction with any software to record whole songs

[@safa1one]

@@paulvincent5363 Thank you too! I use it with either a zoom portable mic or going directly into my computer via a usb audio interface and OBS or your choice e of DAW (I use FL studio), both methods will work and all you need to do is just jam or perform the track/beat using the P6!

I just got this unit (also have the S-1 which has been fun but this is a different learning curve.). Question, Right now I want to just use the samples that are in the machine until I branch out and do my own. Are the 8 banks completely full of samples or did they provide empty slots? Also, I imagine I can factory reset if I want to keep the samples already in the machine for later use.

[@safa1one]

If I remember correctly all of the banks are full of sounds initially but you can check by going through the banks 😅 I loaded my own samples the same day I got the unit and never backed up the samples that were on it. This device will only have the sample you store on it and if you delete anything it won’t be retrievable from what I know. However it might be possible to save the samples that come with it I would have to look into it!

Cool vid man!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

Nice. Agree it's definitely a lot of features for the price and eminently portable. Does it have a song mode?

[@safa1one]

@@electrosonicnebula there’s not a song mode but you can create patterns around the a song and have variations of it and switch between those variations, I’m not sure if you can link them together so they switch automatically though

save up for a forgotten about MC 909. Super roland powers

[@safa1one]

Yeah I have heard about similarities but I don’t know too much about it 😅

[@thefishdog]

@@safa1one its an early roland workstation in a box. sampling and sequencing on it is good and real in depth with menu diving on the screen . loads of features . good for budget studio

[@middlesidetopwise]

I’ll take the thing that is 4x smaller and 4x cheaper and isn’t a vintage box you have to worry about all the time
