Elevator Pitch

J-6 Chord Synthesizer

The J-6 is a pocket-sized chord synthesizer packed with an array of building blocks for creating compelling chord changes, dynamic musical patterns, and song ideas.

Product Description

J-6 Chord Synthesizer

As part of Roland's AIRA Compact line of portable instruments, the J-6 provides a rich musical toolbox by way of 100 chord sets, a dynamic musical phrase generator, and an on-board sequencer for programming and playing back chord structures and patterns. Sonically the J-6 is powered by Roland’s signature Analog Circuit Behavior technology, faithfully reproducing the lavish synth tones of the legendary JUNO-60 synthesizer with 64 presets plus effects.

How It's Innovative

The J-6 is unique in the field of musical instruments, designed to stimulate and capture rich musical ideas with a distinctive combination of compositional tools including easily-accessible chord sets and a dynamic phrase generator. Ultra-portable, with a lithium ion battery giving users over 4 hours of playing time, the J-6 can be used anywhere, anytime inspiration strikes. And its class-leading I/O makes it incredibly versatile with a bounty of workflows and use cases, from connecting to other AIRA Compact for musical jams, to standalone synth, to external MIDI controller, to audio interface for smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
