Roland P-6 Creative Sampler and Sequencer, AIRA Compact Series

Whether using the built-in mic, analog inputs, or a smartphone via USB-C, the P-6 is always ready to sample at a moment’s notice. After capturing sounds, quickly chop longer samples into preset sections for triggering from the onboard keyboard. Or easily build custom collections of multiple sounds with streamlined Step Sampling. Want to rough up the sound? Get gritty with our trademark lo-fi effects. Need some layers? Resample your creations to add depth and evolving complexity.
