I BROKE THE HORSE: 47 Min fully improvised Jam with Roland AIRA J-6 (feat. Volca Sample)

#roland #aira #j6 ‪@rolandglobal‬

Whenever I discover something that I never expected, I'm very satisfied inside. Is this allowed? I hope yes.

Today is all about the J-6. As you know I repurchased the J-6 after being able to use it for a few days right after its release a few months ago. At that time I didn't have much time and unfortunately it was just a matter of trying it out. I couldn't penetrate deeper. I realized that sometime a few weeks ago and decided to give the J-6 a second chance, it wasn't his fault if he didn't convince me. That's why I always say: discover your instrument and take your time. So I had fallen for my own rule. But now I've made amends.

I now have a little more time. Time that is also urgently needed for the J-6, because believe it or not: It bothered me that the J-6 somehow couldn't be used in the Live Jam. Or could you? If that's possible, I really wanted to find out. Yesterday I spontaneously sat down and tried out some of the functions of the J-6 and I think I'm crazy: What didn't work months ago suddenly works. Of course, Roland may have made some adjustments here, but I could swear that it wasn't possible to enter notes live like with a sequencer. Do you disagree? Write it in the comments. I am excited.

Anyway. I was amazed when I could suddenly use the J-6 like a MicroFreak or a Volca Bass and it's great fun to jam with the J-6. If you already own one, I can heartily recommend it.

And you won't believe it, but actually I just wanted to jam a little (10 minutes maximum) but you know that with me. When it's my turn......

I also got the Volca Sample. Why not the PO 33? To be honest, I didn't find the sounds suitable, for me they are more like 80th style in the J-6 and the Volca sample just fits better. Maybe the Volca Beats too, but I don't have that (can you hear me KORG, I don't have the Volca Beats... Christmas is coming soon.... )

For everyone who is wondering how I managed this with my smartphone: I am currently using my old OnePlus 6T again for recording.
I hope that depends on the quality. I hope to have a permanent solution in the new year. fingers crossed

Important Notes:
Please forgive the bad perspective, but the bracket had moved again, but I didn't see that.
Moreover, as always and with every long jam, it takes a few minutes to get to the music. so please forgive the mistakes at the beginning.

Most of the Time I am using the Specular Reverb v3 for my jams.
Sometimes the NTS-1 with the Cathedral Preset or just the iPad.
