Additional note: SHIFT + FILTER adjusts resonance & SHIFT + ENVELOPE changes the length of the envelope attack.
Was just thinking how there needs to be longer, more in-depth tutorials for the J-6. Thank you!
Nice video, thanks ! I repost here a comment, for the "problem" you point at 21'20" (when the sequence restart with a step without style/variation on, it takes the last style/variation from prvious step, i.e. the last in your case), you can manage it like that : To do that you've to set a style/variation for the step you want "unchanged", but you've to choose the right one. And, it's cool because it exists: these are style 3 / variation 1 to 12, depending of the length (Beat parameter in menu) setting of your step. For example, if your steps length is set to 4 beats (i.e. 4 quarter note or one measure), you could use the style 3/ variation 2 if you want that the chord (or note) is "simply" playing for the length of the step, independantly of the style/variation setting of other steps. So, you can use for example these "standard" settings of style/variation for living a step unchanged, depending of your step length setting: Step length 8 beat (2 measure or 8 quarter note in 4/4): 3/1 Step length 4 beat (1 measure or 4 quarter note in 4/4): 3/2 Step length 2 beat (1/2 measure or 2 quarter note in 4/4): 3/3 Step length 1 beat (1/4 measure or 1 quarter note in 4/4): 3/4 Step length 1/2 beat (1/8 measure or 1 eighth note in 4/4): 3/5 Step length 1/4 beat (1/16 measure or 1 sixteenth note in 4/4): 3/6 For odd beat (triplet), see other variations in same style (n°3). More widely, I recommand to explore style 3 to 5 for different beat combinaison per step (see manual), according to your steps length, it's very fun, this little box is a beast :) Important: if you change the variation while playing a sequence, you've to restart the sequence to avoid strange behaviour.
My two last synth purchases -- neither recent -- were the J-6 and the JX-08, which means I'm feeling grateful for your recent posts. Thank you. You are a generous scholar.

Or to phrase it differently, you might get content out of showing how to connect the two units and how they represent three voices and how to use all three sequencers in conjunction. He said selfishly.
This is the best explanation of the Aira J6 to be found in KZread. Awesome work! Muchas gracias!
This was pretty informative, thank you. I've ordered one and am now looking forward to trying it even more.
Finally !! Yeeeesssssss thank you very much, your work, dedication and talent is incredible and inexhaustible.😃

Right on time! I bought a SP404 MK2 2 weeks ago and yesterday i received 250 euro's in giftcards from the shop i order from because i left them a review! already wasted 100 euro's on the official 404 travel bag, ripcord cable and rechargeable batteries.... leaves me with 150 left and dont know what to buy 😁 So i was indeed looking at these Roland devices and i must say they are a good candidate to be my next purchase!

Thanks you. They really knocked it out of the park with this one and the S-1.
Thank you for this! Excellent! This device is exactly what I needed for a small simple sequencer with my looping setup. I've encountered one problem I can't figure out regarding Sounds associated/saved with a Pattern. All my Patterns have Sounds with edits to them, they are all recalled fine when I change from Pattern to Pattern. But if I'm on Pattern 3-1, then choose a different Sound, when I move onto Pattern 3-2 it does not recall the Sound I saved with 3-2. The fix is to reboot the unit and it's fine. For anyone, Is there a solution to this without a reboot? Thanks!
Hello could you explain how can we use S-1 or T-8 (bass) with J-6 in terms of using j-6’s 64 bar. You know s-1 is limited with 4 bar (64 step) and T-8 is limited 2 bar (32 step) so if we can use j-6 sequencer for writing T-8’bass pattern it would be very nice
Big thx for this enlightenment! ....Roland has to pay you
Thanks this was the best tutorial on this in my mind, not boring, very helpful, any chance you going to do one on the Roland S-1 and the T8?

Thanks !!! I made one about the S-1 already. T8....maybe will not happen. Not a lot of interest and since I have to pay full retail price for the gear, it looks like a bad investment. But, if find a good used one. Why not ? . Thanks for the comment.
Is there a way to program a step to not follow the previous step's style/variation? For instance, no style/variation on a step after one with the function on.

yes, the "keyboard" you see on the screen is MIDI sent by the J-6 through the DAW and catching it on SCALER.

can you tell me please why after I turn on the variation for one step he continues to all the other steps? not just one after step but for all the rest even that I turned the variation off in the other steps....thanks a lot
I would like to ask you where I can download a keyboard as seen in your video compatible with Ableton Live 11 and J-6 thanks
Cool!! está buenísimo!!

I was wondering if there is a way to add distortion! 🤘
On 21:21 you explained that the lonely chord is overwritten by the variation step. Do you know a way that the lonely chord on step 1remains available? Thank you by the way for your deep dive into this chord synth. Your amazing!

If each of the steps are 4 beats how do i put the chord on the 3rd beat not the 1st? They all seem to start on the 1st beat. I want to make Dub type chords but can't seem to work out how to put them anywhere but on the one.The Manual is not the best.
