  • Our take on the Roland AIRA Compact J-6

    The Roland AIRA Compact J-6 is a small battery-powered chord synthesizer. It pairs a chord sequencer with tones modeled on the JUNO-60, so you pick a chord set and style and it plays rhythmic chord patterns you can tweak. It suits people who want instant chord progressions for song ideas, jamming or feeding a DAW, and it links to other AIRA Compacts and MIDI gear. Against a full synth it gives up deep sound design and a keyboard, trading those for fast chord workflow and portability.
